Introduction
- Although solar power technology has been around since the 1950s, large-scale development of solar technology has been relatively slow. However, in recent years, advancements in the field of storing solar energy and the development of more cost-effective solar devices for home use have increased the buzz around solar power. Companies dedicated to manufacturing and installing solar energy systems have begun to pop up all over the United States as more people are converting their homes and businesses to run off solar power.

Install a Solar a Solar Power System
- As you may be aware if you've looked into solar energy, there is a debate over whether it is cost-effective for the average homeowner to do so. If you have the financial resources and desire, you can consider having a solar power system installed in your home. In some areas, you may be eligible for rebates and other financial incentives for converting to solar power.
- For more information on solar power in your area, contact the American Solar Energy Society (ASES). The ASES will be able to connect you with a solar installer in your community, who can then assess your power needs, analyze the feasibility of installing a solar energy system in your home, and provide you with an estimate on how much it would cost to do so.

- Installing a solar water heater in your home
- Using solar powered lights to light your yard and garden
- Using solar a powered battery charger to recharge batteries, your cell phone and other electronic gadgets
- Drying your clothes on a clothesline rather than in the electric dryer
- Harnessing the sun's energy to grow your own vegetable or herb garden
- Taking advantage of the sun's natural light for heating and lighting purposes
- Purchasing or make your own solar cooker or solar oven

Conclusion
- When some people think of using solar power, they balk at the idea of spending thousands of dollars to have solar panels installed and completely overhauling their home power system. However, the average consumer can make many small changes to their daily life to make use of solar power and reduce their consumption of fossil fuels.
