Spoiled ChildrenLooking for the cheapest solar power systems may not be easy but sooner or later, this technology will become a necessity. Now, a growing number of people have chosen to use sunlight energy as a primary energy source in their households because of its environment-friendly features.
Because sunlight is a renewable energy source, it does not contribute to pollution as much as other conventional energy sources like fossil fuel. Moreover, there is no fear of shortage of sunlight anytime soon as the sun is almost always there to emit its sunny rays. The challenge for people, however, is to find or install a system that will help them convert the sun's rays into something that can make some of their appliances at home work.
Through this article, you will be guided as to the steps necessary to install and build solar panels in your home without spending too much.
1. Look for a guide in building a solar panel. The Internet is a rich source for these. Many of the guides available online come with illustrations and instructions that are easy to follow.
2. Purchase the parts. Secondhand or used parts are more affordable than brand new ones. Another option for you would be to buy slightly defective but fully functional solar cells. These cells can be bought at a fraction of the retail price. Other materials like glass, plywood, solder, copper wire, wood screws, UV protector, and silicone can be purchased separately.
3. Build the solar panels. Once the needed materials are already available, the cells can be soldered together. These are put on a sheet of plywood, which is covered with a UV protector. Glass is then placed over these cells and they are sealed with a silicone caulk.
4. Install the panel units on the roof. The roof is the most ideal place for installing them as it is the part of the house that directly faces the sun. Moreover, make sure that there are no obstructions between them and the sun so the cells would be able to absorb or capture the sun rays.
5. Connect the unit to a battery and connect the latter to the domestic electrical system. The battery is required as this is where the energy is stored for use at a later time.
By following the simple steps enumerated above, you will enjoy the benefits of having your own energy providing system at home. All you need to do is research about the whats and what-nots of do-it-yourself setup. By knowing these, the cheapest solar power systems available to man are just within your reach.

Fear Based MotivationSince 1st October 2008, all rental properties with a new tenancy in England and Wales have been required to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
Why should you care?
Because your prospective tenants will be able to easily see how energy efficient and environmentally friendly your properties are, and if you have invested in energy saving measures your properties will perform well and will really stand out from the crowd. If not you may find them harder to rent out in future.
What is an Energy Performance Certificate?
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) look similar to the energy labels found on domestic appliances such as fridge freezers and washing machines.
The energy efficiency and environmental impact of your property will be rated on a scale from A-G (where A is the most efficient and G the least efficient) as shown below. Current running costs for heating, hot water and lighting will also be shown on the certificate, together with a list of recommended energy saving improvements.
How do I get an Energy Performance Certificate?
Either you or your letting agent will have to commission one from an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA). They will visit your property to assess the age, construction and location of the property as well as its current fittings such as heating systems, insulation, double glazing etc. DEAs can be found in local directories or via this website.
How much do they cost?
The cost of an EPC will vary. At the moment average costs range between 40 pounds - 120 pounds, so it's worth shopping around.
What can I do to make my energy rating as high as possible?
1.) Insulating your property is the most cost effective measure you can take. In most cases cavity wall insulation is straightforward, inexpensive and hassle-free. Installing new loft insulation in most properties is an easy DIY job and should be done to a depth of 270mm.
2.) If your boiler is over fifteen years old it's probably time to replace it and you'll get a better rating if you combine it with modern heating controls. If you need to save space, buy a combi boiler, which does not store hot water in a tank but heats water directly from the cold water mains as it is used.
3.) Fit a hot water tank jacket.
4.) While double glazing can be fairly expensive, it will reduce noise and lower heating bills.
5.) When purchasing new appliances look out for the Energy Saving Recommended logo, and choose the most energy efficient in their category.
Are there grants to help cover installation costs?
There are several grants available that can cut your costs by half or even to zero!
If your tenants are in receipt of certain benefits you may be able to get your property insulated at a significant discount or even for free.
If you have insulated your properties you can also reduce your income tax by claiming under the Landlords Energy Saving Allowance.

Bathroom BooksIt may seem strange to use a home automation system to save energy - after all won't the control system itself use energy? Surely a minimalist approach to electrical hardware is the best way to save energy?
A well designed home automation system can provide huge benefits and savings in energy consumption:
Lighting Control
Lighting control systems can save substantial amounts of energy. The dimming mechanism can save up to 70% of the energy of a non-dimmed lamp which when coupled with activity detection and daylight sensing can save huge amounts of energy. Put simply the home automation system will determine if the room is occupied and if it is whether the existing light level is sufficient. Big businesses have been using this technology for years, and making huge savings, and now the likes of Crestron have started releasing lighting keypads with light sensors built in for the domestic market.
Heating Control
There are many ways a home automation system can save on the costs of heating your home - individual thermostats in each room ensure the house is never over heated and allow temperatures to be reduced when the room is not occupied. These temperature reductions can even be tied in to your alarm system so setting the alarm when you leave the property will reduce the required temperatures, even a few degrees savings can reap substantial savings. Individual controls of different rooms can allow different temperatures throughout the home, similar to the radiator temperature dials we are all used to but much more reliable. A home automation system also comes in to its own with renewable energy solutions - biomass boilers and stoves can be controlled to ensure maximum efficiency. As an aside it is also worth considering convenience - imagine being able to dial up your ski chalet on the last run of the day to switch the stove on - ensuring a welcoming warm lounge when you get home!
Intelligent Power Switching
Switching things off when not required is an easy way to save energy. Modern equipment has been designed to use a lot less power when in standby which is why our control systems are programmed to switch devices off when they are not required. With certain devices - which we know to be inefficient even in standby - we can automatically switch off all power to the devices. Our modern multi-room amplifiers are Class D models which means each output has it's own power supply and consequently only portions of the amplifier are switched on at any one time.
Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning
Although we have already covered Heating Control it is important to think of heating as part of the bigger picture. Modern buildings tend to contain a lot of glass which can cause temperature swings - too cold part of the time or too hot when the sun is streaming through the windows. The same Crestron heating thermostats can let us know when the temperature is rising and, coupled with the lighting keypad light sensors, determine if the blinds should be closed. This pre-emptive measure can save huge amounts in air conditioning costs whilst protecting the fabric of the room. Security can also be increased by closing the curtains or blinds when darkness falls. Control of air conditioning can not only make the system easier to use but ensure the system is only operating when the room is occupied and the conditions demand it.
