Alternative Energy

Some of us in countries where power cuts is so frequent that it is a surprise having power, than not, may find this article useful.

We spend so much in gasoline to power our generators. Apart from the cost implications, they have been many fatalities from carbondioxide emissions from generators kept too close to living quarters.

The noise pollution is something no one really enjoys

Enter solar power to the rescue.

The good thing is most countries with these problems have abundance of sun; the core ingredient required to get this party started!

Solar energy is not as expensive as it used to, great thanks to China for making it so.

To make an affordable solar set up, you will need the following :

A deep cycle battery: to store energy for later use

A solar panel: to convert solar energy from the sun to direct current which is needed to charge the batteries

A charge controller: to control the charge coming from the sun

An inverter : to convert the direct current from battery to alternating current

These can be bought in batches to reduce the financial load associated with it. But by the end of the day, it will save you a lot of money in gasoline cost and maintenance of the generators
