One of the best ways to help the environment is with a solar power generator.

There is a solar power generator for every possible need in each and every house. Each residential solar power system has to be rated to fit the needs of the consumer. For the individual consumer that has little electrical requirements it is possible to have your energy supply come almost entirely from an inexpensive solar power generator.

For those looking to make small moves toward bringing the use of solar power into their lives, one appliance at a time would work. This approach over time will not only reduce the consumption of energy from the local grid but will also help on your pocket book. One 25 watt solar panel with a small amp charge controller and a sealed battery could be maintained along with a DC to AC converter for less than $400 in today’s market.

This would not run too much but it is a step in the right direction. For those looking to help convince their parents of the money saving side of solar power make it an educational venture for all of the family. If all the savings from just one solar panel is reinvested into another solar panel, the savings will add up.

If just one step at a time is the approach taken, in time your whole house could be supplied by green energy. The best thing is that most solar panels work and produce electricity for 30 years or more. At the end of that time only one panel at a time would need to be changed at to keep your systems’ efficiency up. Best of all after the initial cost of the units, there is no monthly charge from the sun.

A solar power generator uses only clean renewable energy of the sun and should be just one of the ways to help the environment that you can achieve by yourself.

Update: As of Monday May 11th, this system is on sale at Harbor Freight for $199.  This is about the lowest cost per watt that I have been able to locate.  This system is enough for some emergency 12 volt power and if you installed multiple systems you could power your whole house.  Here is a link to the sale price, http://tinyurl.com/pnjcgy (not an affiliate link.)

Sure this is not going to provide all the power for your home but it is a start and is a good example of they type of equipment you will need to start making your own solar power.

This video is an example of what is needed for a small solar power system and how it works. This 50 watt system would be enough to operate a few emergency lights and a low power requirement radio.  Give the guy credit, at least he is trying.
