Seeking alternative energy sources for your small house?
Take a hacksaw to your energy bills and go off-grid.
Moving away from traditional suppliers of power
toward alternative energy sources is a leap away from the
'norm'. With
constantly rising electricity and gas prices, it's now time to find
more cost-effective
and independant
means for powering our lives.
Alternative energy sources offer many benefits:
- decreasing your utility expenses to almost nothing (or just plain nothing at all),
- enabling you to become more self-sufficient,
- safe-guarding your lifestyle against the cost of future energy increases,
- you'll be doing your bit for the conservation of our natural resources (your halo's going to shine so bright!), and
- teaching your kids (and others that know you), by your excellent example, to think outside the square to solve problems in their own lives!
(And you thought you were just going to save money!)
No doubt about it, you're breaking some new
ground here in sourcing your own DIY alternative home energy - good for
you!
Because new ground can be tough to break if you just go at it
with a shovel on your own, we're going to find step-by-step ways to
make it happen so creating free electricity doesn't get the better of
us.

Once
you've
successfully setup your choice of alternative home energy, like wind,
solar or biodiesel,
it's all free (or very minimal cost). Green
energy is renewable energy.
It's a win-win for you and the earth.
Solar energy needs no introduction really. We all
know that solar means 'of the sun' so it stands
to reason that solar energy is energy generated from the sun.
The method of harnessing the sun's energy is traditionally one that
could be outsourced to a professional, who comes to your house, charges
you thousands and thousands of dollars and leaves you with a couple of
shiny silver panels on your roof.
When I'm looking to save money by building a small house, I really
don't want to then spend thousands on overpriced solar panels when I
can do
it myself. How about you?
