who makes the best solar pool heating systems?
Does anyone know of grant programs to convert my older home to alternative energy?
I am a substitute teacher on a limited income and we want to convert to solar and wind power if possible. The home was built in the 1920's. Please only serious answers!
The first step is to weatherize (i nsulate ) your home there are grants in most cities to do this . Also there are renuable energy grants and tax credits for energy effecient heating , cooling & insulation through the end of 2007.
One easy conversion is to install a solar water heater.
Also consider passive solar space heating.
Wind Power Alternative Home Energy
People have harnessed the wind to deliver energy for centuries. Today, wind generates electricity that powers millions of American homes and is one our nation’s fastest-growing sources of energy. Taking advantage of this abundant domestic resource to generate alternative home energy helps meet America’s growing energy demands and protect our environment.
The Department of Energy’s Wind & Hydropower Technologies Program is working to improve wind technology and increase the use of wind energy in the U.S. These efforts have culminated in some of the industry’s leading products today and have contributed to record-breaking growth in the deployment of wind technologies.
