Reducing Your Energy Needs before Going Green With simple instructions available on how to convert to homemade wind power or DIY solar panels for as little as $200, many people are taking the alternative energy more seriously. When choosing to take on a DIY conversion project the first question most people ask is will one windmill or one large solar panel be enough? There are too many factors involved here to answer that question for you. But one way to start is to ensure your home is efficient in the first place. In this article we will walk you through some steps that will help you reduce your energy consumption before you start converting your home.
Reducing Your Energy Needs
One often overlooked step in converting a home to green power is reducing your energy needs in the first place. The average home uses inefficient lighting, power hungry appliances, and poor heating/cooling solutions. An important step to reducing your energy needs is to look at the inefficiencies in your current system.
Consider: 1. Replacing old incandescent bulbs with fluorescents or led bulbs will cut your power consumption from light in half.
2. Replacing old, inefficient, appliances may reduce your energy bills by as much as 30% by itself.
You should also look at your current heating/cooling solutions. For example an electric hot water heater could potentially be replaced by a solar water heater. Maybe that inefficient air conditioner can be replaced with a more efficient heat exchanger. If you need help choosing more efficient appliances, an excellent resource for this is put out by the Canadian government: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/EnerGuide/home.cfm. It’s called Energuide, and it covers everything power consumption of home appliance to energy requirements of large commercial air conditioners.Spend some time looking through that guide and calculating how much you can reduce your power consumption in different areas of your home. By simply taking a look at everything in your home that consumes energy, you will find ways to reduce your energy needs before you start.You don’t necessarily have to go all out and spend $10, 000 replacing everything — but things as simple as changing your lighting will reduce your energy needs before you start your conversion project.

How to Build Your Own Solar Power System and Eliminate Your Electric Bills
Posted by admin on Jan 29, 2012
http://www.EnergyBrainiac.com – How to Build Your Own Solar Power System and Eliminate Your Electric Bills
If you want to build your own solar power system but do not know where or how to start, you need to have someone or something to guide you along. Although there are lots of books written on DIY system to generate electricity from solar energy, not many actually brings you through the detailed steps to building one on your own. What the majority of guides do is give people tons of general information with no specific steps to get you started. Therefore, it is important that you go for a guide that is so simple to follow even for a DIY novice. Here we look at the topics that should be covered to enable you to build your own solar power system.
Essential topics you need to build your own solar power system:
1. Overview of how the solar energy system works. This will include different components that are used in the system as well as their functions.
2. Sourcing of components. Before you even start to think about how to build your own solar power system, the components required for the project has to be ready. A good guide will provide useful information on how one can obtain the parts easily at the lowest costs. In fact, I know of a guide that gives you tips of getting the necessary hardware for less than $200. Read on to find out more.
3. Step-by-step instructions of how to build your own solar power system. Those of you who have done electrical DIY projects before should know that building a power generator entails many considerations and calculations on the current and voltage requirements. It is not as simple as Lego where you simply fix the pieces together and hope that it works. The guide should have all these details.
4. Tracking of the amount of energy the system is producing and storage of excess electrical energy. For such a system to be complete, you need some sort of method to measure the amount of electricity you are producing. Since you will not be using all the electricity you need all the time, there will be some excess and it is important to store it for later use especially at night when the sunlight is not present.
Optional topics that may be useful:
1. How to design off-grid and on-grid system. Designing an on-grid system enables home owners to contribute electricity to everyone else on the same grid. In certain states of US, the energy companies will compensate these homes in monetary reward for doing so. Off-grid system on the other hand, encompasses topics like how to build your own solar power system that you can bring along everywhere you go, like camping for example.
2. Building a wind turbine to generate electricity. Some guides provide this information which is also very useful.

Seeking the Current (new trailer)

SEEKING THE CURRENT – SYNOPSIS
Nicolas Boisclair and Alexis de Gheldere collaborate with renown Canadian actor Roy Dupuis for this documentary of passionate environmental advocacy. The film is a convincing critique of Hydro Quebec’s Romaine River initiative–a plan to construct four dams along the 500-kilometre waterway. It’s also a story of devolution from social democratic ideals to greed and environmental destructiveness. Narrated by Dupuis and framed by the filmmakers’ 2008 canoe journey down the river, this movie details the history of Quebec’s energy industry, the likely environmental costs of the new project and, most constructively, the plethora of alternatives to hydroelectricity. Solar energy, biomass, biogas, energy efficiency, wind and geothermal power–all are thoroughly examined in terms of cost, applicability, and efficiency, and the case for them is overwhelmingly persuasive. Here’s a film that goes well beyond critique to a detailed vision of a better future for the land. The evidence is in the scrupulous research, but the power lies in the filmmakers’ journey of dedication, and the beautiful images it produces.

Recharge Your E-Z-GO Golf Car With Solar Energy Using PowerFilm Solar Panel Technology!
Posted by admin on Jan 27, 2012
E-Z-GO introduces PowerFilm Solar Panel technology, a new way to harness the power of the sun to improve the performance of electric golf cars, while providing a simple, cost-effective path to “going green.” This innovative technology is available on the E-Z-GO RXV® and TXT® electric fleet golf cars, and Freedom® RXV and Freedom TXT electric personal golf cars.
PowerFilm Inc. is an Iowa-based company and an industry leader in developing and manufacturing thin, flexible solar module technology. Through extensive collaboration with the U.S. military, PowerFilm has developed unique, field-ready solar solutions for military use and for other government agencies such as NASA.
The PowerFilm Solar Panel is lightweight, thin and flexible. Its snap-top system, designed exclusively for E-Z-GO, allows for easy installation without requiring canopy replacement or structural reinforcement. Users of the panel can reduce energy costs required to charge and maintain their E-Z-GO electric vehicles by as much as 20 percent annually — depending on local weather conditions and other factors — as compared to the cost of charging vehicles without the PowerFilm solution.
Benefits of the PowerFilm Solar Panel include:
• Increased net driving range. The PowerFilm Solar Panel constantly charges the car’s battery when the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, and decreases the depth of discharge during normal use. Less discharge means longer drive time for the car.
• Easy installation. The panel features a snap-top installation system, exclusively designed for E-Z-GO vehicles. Adding the panel can be done without special tools or any changes to the car’s structure or aesthetics.
• Energy efficient. The solar panel creates, on average, enough electricity per year to offset nearly 100 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, according to formulas devised by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
• Reduced energy costs. Because less power is required to charge the electric car overnight, users will see a reduction in electricity costs to charge and maintain their electric vehicles.
• Lightweight and durable. Unlike many solar products that are heavy and fragile, PowerFilm’s Solar Panel weighs less than seven pounds and can be easily maintained by car owners. Designed and manufactured using no glass, the PowerFilm Solar Panel will stand up to the rigors of daily use.
Golf facilities can order the PowerFilm system through their E-Z-GO sales representative or authorized distributor. Consumers can purchase the technology at select E-Z-GO authorized dealers.
