Hmm, what’s quite the most interesting facts about solar energy is how little we use it! Do you know that the sun produce enough energy for everyone in the world? The sun produce enough energy for every single person alive at this very moment! However, less than one-tenth of one percent of our energy usage comes from the sun. Too bad we don’t have that kind of technology yet to harness all of the sun’s energy!

Another interesting fact about solar energy… it is dependent upon nuclear power. It’s own nuclear power solar energy 93 million miles away. The Earth receives more energy from the sun in one hour than the whole world uses in one year. That’s quite a lot of energy there. There’s also the fact that the world is still dependent on oil for heating and transportation needs.

About two billion people in the world have no access to electricity, and unfortunately, they cannot afford to access electricity. Even if the sun is giving us more than we ever need… we’re not there yet to harness the sun.

A 1-kilowatt-hour (kWh) equal the amount of electricity needed to burn a 100 watt light bulb for 10 hours. A 1-kilowatt home solar system installed cost about $9,000 before any rebate programs in the U.S. and because of that, the materials need to make the solar panel is expensive, the solar panels accounts for between 40-50% of the total cost of installing a solar power system.

Once you got the initial installation cost over, the solar system is quite inexpensive. Mostly because you’re now generating free energy coming from the sun. When you do use solar energy to make your home independent., your need of foreign or conventional energy which can cost a lot, have just been lessen. If your solar system produce enough, you really become independent on other energy sources.

Did that spark some interest in solar energy that can provide for you? Want to give a test and build your own solar system or wind power system? Check out this site at http://buildingyourownenergysolution.blogspot.com/ for more instructions on building your own renewable energy system! If you put effort into it, you can make it happen and may become independent from using conventional source and losing that electric bill. Check it out.
