If you ask a number of people ‘what does renewable energy mean to you?’ the overwhelming number of answers you’ll hear will relate to the environment. Depending on how many people you ask, few if any will mention financial savings from a cost perspective. Is that because renewable energy is something that is expensive left only for greenies? The answer may surprise you.

If your home is not already benefiting from wind and solar power then chances are you are one of the majority that receives your power from a mainstream electricity supplier. Statistics indicate that more than 90% of all electricity supplied by mainstream providers is derived from non-renewable sources. Most people who receive their power from these sources will openly complain about how expensive their electricity  bills are – and for good reason. Non-renewable energy sources are expensive because those sources must continuously be replaced in order to generate ongoing power.

Think about that for a moment. You are paying expensive power bills largely because the source of the electricity you use is depleted each time you use it. Think of a fire place. In order to generate heat, you must continuously burn wood. Once the wood is burned, you must find new wood to replace it. The process goes on and on until you run out of wood – at which point you run out of heat. Non-renewable energy works in exactly the same way.

You’re probably well aware that the air quality inside your home is as important to your health as the food you eat and drink. Hypersensitive people who suffer allergies realize this truth, as do people who are afflicted with ‘sick building syndrome’ – the state of suffering health issues primarily as a result of poor indoor air quality.

Reactions symptomatic of poor indoor air quality vary to the individual but commonly include sore throats, persistent headaches, skin irritations, lethargy, sniffles, mucus build up, irritability and so forth. If you regularly experience these or similar symptoms it is possible that the air you are inhaling may not be up to scratch. Obviously you should always seek professional medical assistance for any illness you may be afflicted with, but likewise you should consider that statistics have shown that it is possible 1/3 of people suffering symptoms similar to those described above do so as a result of indoor air pollution.

A leading cause of poor indoor air quality relates to the toxic products we live with each day. Ordinary household cleaners, paint, pesticides, mobile phones and even our bedding can deliver toxic chemicals into the air. The list is really quite extensive, so extensive in fact that nearly every home is subject to the same issues of unnatural, unbalanced air quality. The result for sensitive people is immediate health reactions, but for those of us that are not so sensitive there can also be longer term health related issues.

As living costs continue to mount and economic uncertainty continues to cast its shadow, many people have begun to turn their attention towards cost saving living alternatives. One such alternative becoming increasingly popular is the generation of solar and wind power for the home.

Although the idea of homemade solar and wind power generation might initially sound complicated, more and more people are beginning to learn that it is anything but. Already thousands of average everyday people like you and I have built and are utilizing their own homemade solar power and homemade wind power systems to power their homes. In some cases these homemade power systems are not only saving them money and generating power but are also generating money too.

The great untold truth is that homemade solar and wind power systems are extremely cheap to build and run. Often these solar and wind systems will generate more power than you need leading to excess electricity that you can onsell to the electricity companies themselves. It may sound like fanciful thinking yet the truth is many people are doing exactly that as we speak – generating their own free power and making money off the excess.

The two most popular sources of cheap homemade power are solar and wind. Many people tend to use a combination of both solar and wind energy for their power needs because few locations offer the perfect setting for one form of power generation or the other. Some locations are prime for sunlight, others for wind and others are more suitable for a combination of both.

If you’re intending to set up your own wind turbines there are a few things you should consider regarding the suitability of your location. The first is to ensure that the area you have available for the turbine receives sufficient wind to generate power. Whether you have a small backyard or acres of land it won’t make a difference if you are in a location with insufficient wind to power your turbine.

To test for wind speed you’ll need to lay your hands on an Anemometer. If you can borrow one all the better, but you can also buy them relatively inexpensively (eBay has new and used Anemometer’s listed regularly for anything from a few dollars to new ones for $29). An Anemometer will help you test for wind speed in whatever location you are considering placing your turbine. Look for speeds in excess of 11 miles per hour (17.7km). Take tests at different times of the day over different days and in different locations. If your tests are repeatedly unsuccessful then you might want to turn your attention to solar power.

The key benefits of homemade solar and wind power energy systems are that they save you money and, because they generate power from renewable energy sources, they offer power generation methods that are not harmful to the environment. These benefits apply by principle on a large and small scale and so are not limited to your primary power needs. For this reason if you’re looking to save money and reduce your carbon footprint then you should apply this principle to all items in your home that require power and not just the house itself.

With the shift in environmental global consciousness more and more technologically improved energy saving products are becoming available. Although most of what you need can probably be found locally, the internet should be your first stop because it offers you the opportunity to not only find details of products that match what you are looking for that you may otherwise remain unaware of, but it also enables you to cut through the sales pitch. Nearly every product ever released will have reviews written about it by people just like you who are already experienced in using those products.

Have you ever stopped to contemplate how the air quality of your home or office contributes to the quality of your overall health? You might be surprised to learn that the quality of the indoor air that you spend so much time inhaling actually plays a pivotal role in how well you feel – or how ill.

The term ‘sick building syndrome’ stems from this, although it is usually used to describe a work place in which the indoor air quality is so polluted that it leads to illness for workers who inhale it. Often the symptoms of such illness will vary from person to person and just as often the afflicted individual will fail to realize that their symptoms are caused by poor air quality. Yet ‘sick building syndrome’ is not limited to the work place, for it applies also to health issues that result from poor air quality in the home.

Nearly every home is subject to poor air quality because there are so many different factors that can contribute to the problem. Most homes are well sealed against air flow to ensure that their heating or air-conditioning systems can be utilized efficiently. Darker areas, damp carpet and certain household materials are subject to mold spores, even if you can’t see them. Many modern homes have poor ventilation and are constructed from materials treated with an array of chemicals and potentially deadly compounds. Even something as simple as spraying chemicals to clean the kitchen will directly and negatively impact the quality of indoor air. There really are more possible causes of poor air quality in the home than we can possibly list here.

Interest in setting up homemade solar and wind power is sky rocketing. With these tough economic times it seems word is traveling about the benefits of free renewable energy for the home – and rightly so, for the benefits are many.

The most obvious benefit is to the environment. Though many people still debate the notion of global warming, few will argue that renewable clean sources of energy are better for the environment than non-renewable resource depleting methods of power production. Solar and wind power are clean, renewable sources of energy and so the greater your individual reliance on power from renewable sources, the less your personal impact is on the degradation of the environment.

The least obvious benefit of home based renewable energy relates to financial savings. Yes, it is true that even the most rudimentary homemade wind or solar power system will translate into significant financial savings. How? By reducing reliance on the more traditional and expensive non-renewable sources of power. The more power you can generate through sources of energy that are free, well, the more you get for free. This of course translates to a reduction in your standard power bill.

Everyone needs electricity to power their home but nobody needs the expensive bills that accompany it. For this reason many people are now turning their attention to ways and means of generating their own power.

The most readily available source of electricity is found in sunlight and wind. Unfortunately if you want to power your home via solar and wind power the establishment cost is supremely expensive. Very few people who want to reduce their power bill have $20,000 or more to throw at a professional solar power installation and so the vast majority of homes continue to receive non-renewable energy supplied by mainstream energy providers.

The reality is it is quite cheap to transform your home into one with power supplied completely from renewable, cost free energy – if you do it yourself. Doing it yourself won’t cost anymore than your average power bill and better still, solar and wind power generation is not the rocket science you might think it is. There are no moving parts and the parts that you do need are generally available at your local hardware store.

The benefits of homemade solar power generators are clear. First and foremost they reduce or completely eliminate your power bill. Really, that’s enough right there – a one time investment for an ongoing saving is a good enough benefit for most people. But let’s continue anyway.

They also take you off the grid, meaning when the power grid goes down you don’t. They commonly generate income via the sale of excess power to the energy companies. Many people have attracted such interest from their own homemade generators that they’ve started their own building businesses to accommodate the interest they’ve received. Some have started businesses selling tutorials designed to help beginners do it themselves. It is the latter that we’re interested in here.

Thanks to the internet a number of high quality, easy to follow tutorials have become readily available. In the end the biggest cost savings are derived via do-it-yourself homemade systems and so a wider range of quality tutorials is a good thing. In fact, it’s a great thing. The instructional book and video market has become competitive enough that prices on comprehensive tutorials are at an all time low – right when the economic downturn has raised the desire to save money to an all time high. Again, this is a good thing for you.
