Renewable Energy System
Many consumers are considering installing a renewable energy system in their homes to help them reduce the amount 
of power they buy each month from their local power utility. There are several choices available, and both solar power and wind power offer reasonable alternatives for paying for power. The choice between these two types of systems really depends on the homes location, size and orientation to the sun.
Solar power is a technology that has matured tremendously in recent years and today represents a very cost effective solution for most homeowners. The solar panels used for collection have increased their efficiency to the point that current panels can generate far more power from sunlight than older versions. This means that homeowners will need less of these panels than in years past to power their homes. Using fewer panels will lower the cost of this renewable energy system as well, since it will require less roof space for its mounting. Also, these newer panels are more tolerant of the angle of the sun. The older panels required the sun to hit their surface directly to produce the most power. If a home was not oriented perfectly to catch the sun in its travel, it would still generate power, but in lesser amounts. This meant that solar may not produce all of the power the home needed for the day. These newer panels can generate a lot more power with steeper angles of sun exposure, which means they can be used on homes with less than perfect sun exposure, and still supply a great amount of power. All of this means an easier installation and a faster payback of a consumer’s initial investment of the panels. Overall solar power systems have increased in their power output as their price has dropped and make them a great renewable energy system.

Wind power is another great alternative for many homeowners and has also matured in recent years. The latest models of wind turbines for the home are smaller, quieter and less expensive than in years past. They generate more power as well from a passing breeze and represent a great renewable energy system for most homes. Some of these newer models can easily be mounted to the home or a small tower and generate quite a lot of power that can be used by the homeowner to lower their monthly energy bill. This wind powered renewable energy system can be used on its own, or even combined with a solar power systems for even more energy production.
Both of these technologies are based on generating a DC current, and this current needs to be converted to AC current for use in the home. This is done by a device called an inverter. This inverter will convert the current so it can be used by the home when needed and it will also channel any excess current that is produced by either renewable energy system back up the power lines to the local utility for a credit. If your renewable energy system was sized correctly, the power you generated during the day would offset the power you needed in the evenings and would result in allowing you to eliminate your energy bill each month. This way, whichever renewable energy system you decide to use can supply all the power you will need for your home.
