Researchers are constantly on the lookout for more ways of making green energy. Here are the 2 types you must understand now.

Living off the Grid: - Advantages of Solar Power

i. The energy that originates from simply one hour of sun suffices to supply energy for a year for the whole world

ii. A battery can be used to store off grid solar power for evenings and cloudy days

iii. Solar panels on a roof work when the sun's rays strike the cells in the panel and electrons are released, producing energy

iv. Using solar power will typically provide a saving of $100+ each month on utility costs for the property owners of off grid homes .

Living off the Grid: - Advantages of Wind Energy

i. When wind goes through the blades of a turbine that is connected to a generator, the energy produced by the spin is converted into electrical energy

ii. A single large wind turbine can provide electricity for around 500 off grid homes

iii. Last year, 42 % of the houses that were geared up with a source of off grid power used wind

iv. Unlike most other sources of energy, wind utilizes hardly any water; not only is wind energy carbon neutral, it helps water conservation also

v. There is around 10 times the amount of wind available in the U.S. than is needed to supply power for the whole country

vi. Wind energy is presently the fastest-growing source of renewable energy: - Around two wind farms are set up weekly in the U.S.

For living off the grid, the facts indicate that the advantages of solar power combined with the advantages of wind energy now exceed any advantages that fossil fuels may have had. However it is probably down to individuals to begin the shift to a larger scale adoption, so that we may all enjoy living off the grid.
