Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing Solar Power for Beginners, and thank you for doing so. You may have heard the phrase solar power on several occasions but not really know what it means or entails. A significant push has been happening to make this a common energy source over other options that are perceived to be more dangerous, expensive, and harmful to the environment. Solar power is considered a superior method in all of these and many more aspects. Despite more people becoming aware of solar power, it is still not accepted by the mainstream. This could be because of misinformation or even a lack of information. Sometimes, people are willfully ignorant or just have not had the information presented to them in an appealing manner.
My goal is to change that with this book. I am passionate about solar power as an energy source and the countless benefits it can provide for people. I truly feel that the more people who learn about the true nature of it, the more accepted it will become by the general public. I also believe that once people get to experience it, they will never want to go back to the older methods.
I'd be glad to hear your thoughts once you've read the book, please let me know by leaving a short review on Amazon!
The following chapters will discuss what solar power is in great detail. We will also cover the history behind it, which will show that its not a new phenomenon. After reading about solar power, the benefits will become quite apparent. After getting you excited about the concept, I will discuss how you can get started with the right equipment and strategies. You will have to make a significant financial commitment in the beginning, but you will save these abundantly down the line. This book will provide step-by-step guidance to educate you on how to get started and try to clear up any confusion that might. The better you can set up the correct equipment, the more beneficial solar power will be.
Furthermore, I will go over the advantages and disadvantages of different solar products so that you can make the most informed decision possible. There are certain locations in the world, because of the nature of the weather conditions, where solar will be more advantageous than others. However, you are not precluded from the benefits it provides. Solar power is growing in popularity and can become the main energy source throughout the world as positive qualities become more apparent. Several households and companies have already jumped on the bandwagon. I believe that you will understand why after reading this book.
Another great thing is, if you move, you can take your equipment with you. I will cover safe moving practices you can use to transfer your material as safely as possible without doing damage. So, if you are ready to enter the solar power world, then keep reading. I believe the only thing you will be wondering is why you did not make the transition sooner.
Many books are available regarding the topic of solar power and all that it entails. I want to show gratitude to all of you for choosing this one. Every effort was made to make sure the information was useful, instructive, and easy to follow. Solar power is slowly growing around the world, and I hope to do my part in speeding up the process of making it a primary energy source. Please enjoy the content of this book and use it for reference as much as you want.
According to Solstice, about 1.6% of U.S. electricity generation comes from solar. It is growing yearly, but we can do much better than this. I hope this book entices many people to consider a switch over to solar power as an energy source. After reading about all of the advantages solar has to offer, more people will be inclined to utilize the power of the sun.
Compared to the rest of the world, about 2 percent of worldwide energy consumption comes from solar. The above graph compares it to the rest of the sources I will discuss below.
Chapter 1: Learning About Solar Power
Most of you have probably opened up your electric bill and nearly passed out after seeing the amount you owed. All of the appliances, the furnace, heater, and various products you have, suck up a lot of energy when combined, and your bank account can hurt a little because of it. Furthermore, there is countless research being done on the impact the other energy sources have on the environment.
Many experts have been pushing solar power as an alternative energy source, and many who have tried it are excited about the resultsespecially having lower energy bills. The target focus of this chapter will be to thoroughly detail what solar power is and how it is superior to other types of energy. Imagine saving money and saving the environment at the same time.
Common Sources of Energy
While solar power is slowly becoming more popular and attractive for people around the world, it is still nowhere near the most common source of energy. I will go over some of these in this section before discussing our main topic. Before that, though, lets define the terminology. Energy is the capability of doing work. Any type of movement, change, or shift, etc., is done by the use of energy.
The reason modern civilizations have been able to evolve is that theyve learned to alter energy from one form to another. We use energy constantly during a 24 hours period, whether we are walking, driving our cars, cooking food on a stove, heating something in a microwave, and lighting up our homes. Energy has allowed us to sail ships across vast oceans, fly planes to any area of the world, and even shoot people into Outerspace.
