There are endless uses of solar energy, starting from your domestic applications to commercial applications. With the passage of time, solar energy is used for various cool purposes which we have never thought about. Moreover, since sunlight is an inexhaustible source of power and can be received anywhere all through the years, it is an easily available source of renewable energy.
However, now let us take a deep insight of the innovative uses of this Green energy –
Ventilation powered by solar energy: Can you imagine bath fans, floor fans, and ceiling fans in your house powered by solar energy? This may sound bizarre, but it’s true! With advance of science, solar powered fans are commonly used. They are not only environmentally friendly but also help people cut down on their utility bills.
Heat your swimming pool: Swimming pools are one of the most common joys both for children and parents alike. However, in winter season, enjoying swimming pools is just next to impossible because of the harsh cold water. To fix this problem, you can heat the water, by using solar power. To get a little more high tech, you can even install a solar hot water heating system. This system utilizes solar hot water heating panels to collect sun’s heat energy and circulate within the waters of the pool to warm it up. So, now with this system, you can enjoy the swimming pool all through the year, much to everyone’s delight.
Heat water with solar Power: Have you ever thought about the possibility of heating water with solar energy instead of using gas or conventional electric water heater? This system of water heating is consisted of a solar connector and storage tank that are mounted on the roof. Small tubes run through the collector, heat the fluid and collect it to a well-insulated collection tank.
Sun-charge the Batteries for efficient performance: You can also charge batteries, by utilizing solar energy. These batteries can be used for hot water pumps, ceiling fans, or lighting. This is environmentally-friendly and a great money saving medium on utility bills.
Power home with sunlight: You can even power your home, by utilizing sunlight. This may sound a little complex affair, but not at all in real. Devices used in this system are quite simple and user friendly. All you need to add is solar panels in your house to collect heat and convert into electricity. With a high tech use of power switches and safety devices, you can use this renewable power source in camper, cabin, tool shed, and/or any other building.
Cook it with the power of sunlight: Cooking with the use of solar heat energy is much easier than you think. All you need for this are box, pan, aluminum foil, a cooking bag, duct tape, Styrofoam insulation, and a thermometer. This is a faster way and easier way to cook, and a great means to save on utility.
