If you are trying to cut your energy costs, you will first need to find out which parts of your house use the most energy. Every house will have different areas that use more energy than another area. You can have an energy audit performed on your house to show you exactly where you are using the most energy and suggest the most effective ways to cut your energy costs.
Solar energy is defined as being the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the Earth. Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into other forms of energy such as heat and electricity. Typically solar energy and solar power are used interchangeably.
Solar water heaters can be a cost effective way to generate hot water for use in your home. And the sunshine that fuels the water heater is free.
