Solar Powered Houses

Solar powered houses are quickly becoming a viable option for many people today. The attraction of getting virtually free electricity to power houses is not only attractive because of high energy costs but also, and probably more importantly, because of our declining energy reserves.

Solar powered houses don't seem to be as popular in North America as in other places in the world. This is probably due to our thriving economy more than anything. We don't feel the effect of high energy costs as much as some other countries in the world. Remote locations are also more likely to experiment with solar power out of necessity.

People tend not to consider a solar powered house as an option when living in or near cities because everything is so accessible. Some people are beginning to experiment with solar powered equipment around their houses. Things like solar powered motion lights and solar powered house signs are more of a novelty than a necessity, but people are beginning to realize the overall benefits and are taking the first steps to becoming less dependant on other sources of power.

Solar powered highway lights are more common now and farmers use solar power in remote locations on there property. Recreational activities such a camping, boating and hiking can now be done with lightweight solar collectors. Take your laptop with you.

One commonly asked question about solar powered houses is, what happens on cloudy days. In many places solar powered homes remain connected to the power company and when there is not enough electricity generated from the solar system, power is diverted from the power company.

Solar powered houses are no longer something to consider for future projects. They are becoming more common and more affordable for the average family.
