Solar Powered Homes

Have you ever noticed homes that have huge tinted windows and those strange panels on the roof you drive by?   

You may wonder why someone would want such tall windows in their home.  There is a reason for that and it is because of they are using solar power to heat their homes and to provide the energy they need to power it.  Any home can be built to use solar power with just a few minor alterations.  You can build a solar powered house that will save you a lot of money in the future as you use solar power to heat your home, pump and heat your water. You can also use solar PV (photovoltaic) panels to power your appliances and lights naturally and effectively without a monthly power bill. 

These are just a few suggestions when building your solar powered home.  It depends on where you live as to which side of the house you should put the most windows on.  For the most part is more common to assume that the sun rises more toward the eastern side of your home.  This is the side where you want to have the most windows in your home.  That way you are allowing the sun to shine through and warm your home naturally.  You also need to make sure that there are no trees that are directly shading the house and may prevent the sun from shining directly into the home and hitting your PV panels.  

Adding a solar collector to collect the energy from the sun so it can be transformed into power for your home may cost a little more than if you built a standard home without using solar power.  The thing to remember about solar is this initial investment is all that is necessary.  The sun is free!
