The coronavirus (COVID-19) has shown most people that the government cannot be completely trusted to meet all their needs in times of turmoil and emergencies, you can be alone. Due to technology, at no time has humanity gone off the grid and living comfortably is so available to everyone. The challenge is that most laws and codes in all areas of government discourage going offline. They are used to promote conformity in society, leading to heavy dependence on the government and its services. Perhaps the master designers of the communities should rethink how the houses of tomorrow will exist within the various networks. First, encourage solar power everywhere, even in cities. The notion of a power plant and a few strands of wire serving millions of people is archaic. If you don't want to cripple your community or nation during a national emergency, let the country's builders and great electrical engineers start powering off-grid homes and businesses with solar and wind power. Propane generators are becoming popular with power outage intervals and this technology has advanced to make switching seamless from traditional and non-traditional power sources. There are three basic advantages of the solar energy system, even in normal situations. 1. Provide clean and renewable energy Solar energy is a 100% clean and renewable energy source. Reduces dependence on oil, coal, and natural gas for electricity production. These fossil fuels produce harmful emissions that affect the quality of air, water, and soil, and are responsible for global warming. It is estimated that between 2000 and 2065, the Earth will lose more species of plants and animals to extinction than in the combined 65 million years before. 2 That's an amazing statistic and one significantly driven by the effects of fossil fuel greenhouse gases. In contrast, solar energy produces no pollution. The abundant power of the sun offers an unlimited source of energy that does not strip the landscape or damage the ozone layer. Residential solar energy systems represent an investment in the planet's future, conserving non-renewable energy sources and protecting the environment. 2. It gives you freedom and control over electricity American households have seen a steady increase in both the frequency and duration of power outages in the past 15 years, according to research by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The United States has the highest number of blackout minutes of any developed nation. Our power grid is 100 years old and was not built for a large number of people today and extreme weather events. How about other countries ? Our network must be modernized to meet the growing demands of a plugged-in society. Adding a household battery unit powered by residential solar panels can store enough electricity to power households during peak hours of use, giving households the freedom to control their families' electricity. With a residential solar system, your home is powered by rooftop solar panels during the day and energy stored in the battery at night. By installing solar panels, you gain energy independence. Solar panels and household batteries are becoming more affordable, accessible, resistant and efficient. They provide peace of mind and energy security to homes when the power goes out or when the next storm hits. FGET's home solar energy system replenishes energy generated by the sun and eliminates the hassles, uncertainty, and expense of refueling a gas or diesel generator. 3. You can save on your current utility bill If you are facing increased energy costs in the home, home solar panels can offset your costs. Savings can even be accumulated on cloudy days as the sun emits energy through clear and cloudy skies. Solar offers year-round efficiency and savings, even in colder and cloudy climates. Depending on their size, efficiency, and orientation to the sun, some solar panels actually generate more electricity than your home consumes. This could reduce your monthly electric bill to zero. In some areas, you may actually qualify for a refund if your residential solar energy system produces excess electricity. Check the solar energy guidelines in your area.
