With the world's ever-increasing demand of power being more than its supply, it is about time that we take concrete steps to save power. Apart from being conscious about the usage of power and water at home, one can employ pollution-free and cost-effective power solutions at our homes. Solar power solutions and wind power solutions are two of the most efficient that can replace or help the conventional power solutions employed at our homes.



Solar and wind solutions will help you eliminate your power bill and help the environment. They will also save you from power outages.

Wind power is a good idea if the following is true:

- You have a fairly big property. If you have acre or so, a wind power generator will definitely work for you.

- The average wind speed in your area is around 11 miles per hour. If you stay in a place that has little wind flow, your system will not work. Consult an expert before installing the wind power solution at home.

- Your house needs an uninterrupted power supply. This is true for most houses, of course. With wind power, you can always have power on hand just by charging batteries you'll keep on your property.

A wind power turbine generally consists of a tower, a body with motor, and blades that spin in the wind. The height of the tower depends on the height of surrounding objects and on the distance from them. If you are in a low-wind area you may need a larger tower, and a shorter one if you live in a high wind area.

The motor inside your wind turbine will convert the spinning energy of the blades to electrical current. This electricity can be used to power electrical devices in your home, even if there is a blackout. If you choose to remain connected to your electrical company, they will pay you for electricity that you generate and don't use.
