DEAR STEMIANS!!

As part of an effort to achieve energy freedom, generating your own electricity is one of the best things you can do. With the electricity you generate, you can turn on the gate, light outside the house, sell it and reduce your monthly electricity bill, charge the car battery, or even no longer rely on conventional power. Read this article for more on how to get there.


1.Learn about solar panels



Solar panels are a widely used option and have many advantages. Devices that can be used in almost all the world is a modular device that can be tailored to your needs, but it also has many options that have been tested well.

This panel should get sunlight from the south (facing north in the southern hemisphere state, facing upwards around the equator). The best angle should be adjusted to the latitude of your residence, and in overcast conditions.

Stable poles can be built under solar panels (which can hold batteries and charging devices) or place them on rooftops. Solar panels are easy to install and maintain when close to the ground, and have no moving parts.

Moving poles can follow the sun and increase efficiency, but the price is more expensive than adding some stable pole to replace its shortcomings. Mobile pole devices are also easily damaged by bad weather, and have moving parts that can be worn out.

Just because the solar panel is said to have 100 watts of power, does not mean this panel will produce this much power on a regular basis. The power it produces will depend on how the installation, weather, or seasons affect the sun's position.


2.Start with small appliances



Buy one or two solar panels to get started. You can install it gradually, so you do not have to pay all the costs at once.

Many solar panel systems that connect to the network on the roof can be expanded - this should be sure when you buy it. Buy a system that can be expanded to suit your needs.


3.Learn to manage your system



Just like anything else, if you do not care for it, your system will be damaged. Determine how long your system should last. Saving a little money now can actually make you lose in the future. Invest your funds to maintain this system, and this system will help you.

Try to determine and provide a budget for the cost of system maintenance in the long run. Running out of funds in the middle of your plan is something you should avoid.


4.Determine your system type



Consider whether you want a standalone energy device, or a system connected in a network. Standalone energy systems are a viable option for the long term, you can know the source of every watt of electricity you use.

While the choice of system connected in the network can give you stability and repetitive use, as well as give you an opportunity to resell the electricity you generate to the power generation company.

If you use a network-connected system, but manage your energy usage as a stand-alone system, you can even generate a little extra revenue.

Contact your current electric service provider, and ask about network-connected systems. They may be able to provide assistance, and advise on the installation services of your sustainable electrical energy system.


5.Learn about wind turbines



This option is also very suitable for many locations. This choice is sometimes also more efficient than solar power.
You can use a homemade wind turbine from your car's AC generator, with guidance available on the internet.

This method is not recommended for beginners, but can provide the appropriate results. Moreover, there are also other reasonably priced commercial options.
There are some shortcomings of wind power plants.

You may have to put turbines at a very high level to work effectively, and your neighbors may be distracted when you see them. Birds may also not see it, until they hit the turbine.

Wind turbines require almost constant wind. An unobstructed open area is perfect for this device as there are not many things that will hinder the wind. Wind power is often used as an additional power to the solar or water system effectively.


6.Understand about micro-hydro generators



There are many types of micro-hydro technology available, from homemade propellers connected to alternating current (AC) generators on cars, to systems that are reasonably reliable and intricately engineered. If you live in a watershed, this option can be an efficient and self-sustaining solution.


7.Try a combined system



You can always combine these systems to ensure you get electricity throughout the year and make enough electricity in your home.


8.Consider a stand-alone generator



If there is no power grid, or you want to set up backup power for a disaster or when the power goes out, then you need a generator. This device can be run using a variety of fuels, and is available in various sizes and capacities.

Many generators react very slowly in charging (powering a device that requires a lot of power can cause electricity to break).

The many small generators available at the hardware store are made for occasional use in emergencies. Generators like this will usually be damaged if used as a daily power source.

Large size household generators are very expensive. This generator can be run with gasoline, diesel, or LPG, and usually has a setting to turn on by itself when power is cut off.

To install it, be sure to ask for help from a professional electrician and follow all the installation instructions. If the installation is faulty, it can kill an electrician who breaks the current without knowing that there is a backup generator.

Generators made for RV cars, or boats, are generators that are small, quiet, and made for continuous use, and are much more affordable. This generator can be run with gasoline, diesel, or LPG, and is designed to light up for a few hours at a time for years.


9.Avoid CHP system



The cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) system, which generates electricity from steam heat is an old and inefficient system. While there are still some who like this system, you should avoid it.


10.Go for it



There are many sellers who offer different products and services in the eco-friendly energy market, and some of them they offer will be more suitable for your needs compared to other products.
