Home solar power is within your reach! Nobody knows how far or deep the world energy crisis will go, so investing in an alternative power solution for your home is a very wise move. It directly saves power for the rest of the world and helps solve the energy crisis in a clean, green way. When you install alternate energy at home, you are helping the entire world.

Looking at all alternate energy solutions, solar power systems and wind power systems are the most widely used and least cumbersome. Now wind power is a great way to go, but all of our homes are not really ideal for it. To use a home wind power system effectively, we need a big, open area area and an average wind speed of 11 miles per hour. Home solar power is much easier to get going. You just need a lot of sunlight.

A total home solar power system has several operating units. Most of us install a few of these parts as needed. Let's take a look at the most important home solar power units.

* Solar cooker: The solar cooker is the most widely used home solar energy system. Here's why:

- Healthful cooking - A solar cooker cooks food that is considered to be very healthy. A small cooking box can cook food for a family of five all at one time.

- Choice of cooking methods - You can do it all . . . bake, roast and boil using the same solar-powered cooking system!

- Huge energy savings - The solar cooker uses no energy other than sunlight, so the power saving are enormous.

- Clean and green - The solar cooker doesn't emit gases or leave any residue at all. How can there be a more environmentally-friendly cooking system?

* Solar generator: The solar generator is a unit that powers all your electrical appliances with solar energy. It captures solar energy and converts it into electrical energy via photovoltaic cells. A Home solar generator actually stores the converted electrical energy in storage cells for later home use. The solar generator can also be called the solar lighting system. Having a home solar generator saves a lot of energy and costs. The money saved can add up! Just picture yourself running all your electrical appliances and not paying any utility bills!

* Solar thermal system: Installing a home solar thermal system or solar heating system will keep your home at the temperature you desire. You can enjoy the indoor temperatures you prefer your house without worrying about bills. Such home solar thermal units are now so popular that there are many beautiful units to choose from.
