Wind energy is a tried and tested technology that has been used for centuries. More recently it has become a popular way to generate electricity, as concern has grown about man-made Climate Change. Electricity generated from the wind does not produce any carbon dioxide, and has none of the worries associated with nuclear power. As a result, many have come to see it as a major part of the solution for man-made Climate Change. If we could generate a substantial portion of our electricity from wind, we would massively reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that we emit into the atmosphere. Furthermore, the cost of generating electricity from large wind turbines is falling, and is expected soon to be cost competitive with electricity generation from fossil fuels.

One you have decided that your home is ready for solar conversion; you need to decide the best way to do it. The first step in converting an existing house for a solar power system is to choose which solar strategies will work in your home. Then evaluate each choice in terms of how much solar power will it collect, how much money it will take to build the system and what the system will do to the appearance of the home. One bright way to welcome the sun into your home is to build a solar addition, or sunspace. Constructed properly, a sunspace not only provides a ray of hope in the fight against rising energy bills, it also can serve as a cheery, light-filled living area.
