Who Is SolarGem?

Unless a homeowner has an interest in solar power chances are good that they are unfamiliar with their local solar power contractors. Homeowners generally don't begin to familiarize themselves with solar power contractors/vendors until they have every intention of purchasing a system for their home.

Here at SolarGem we take pride in not only offering our clients state-of-the-art and high-quality solar power systems/panels for their home or commercial structures but in helping prospective clients get to know us as well.

How Solar Power Works

Homeowners interested in having a new solar power system installed often have a myriad of questions. These questions range from the very simple "what will it cost", the more complicated how does solar power actually work. While the technology behind solar power is anything but simple explaining how it actually works isn't overly complicated.

Essentially solar electricity works just as traditional electricity does. The only meaningful difference is in how the power is generated and delivered to your appliances. Through hydro and nuclear reactors electricity can be generated for home use and while these are traditional means of generating power, solar power is far more efficient and environmentally friendly because it simply collects sunlight and converts it to usable energy for your home. In fact solar power and traditionally generated power are so similar that homeowners won't notice anything different after the new system is installed except for a lower electricity bill.

The actual process itself is fairly simple as well. Sunlight hits solar panels and excites electrons within the panels which converts sunlight to usable electricity. While you may have questions about installation, cost, and even efficiency versus traditional power, this should help you understand exactly how solar power works in the simplest of terms. Should you be interested in purchasing a solar power system for your home or having remaining questions answered please feel free to contact us any time.

Solar Tax Rebates: We Help You Get Them

When you purchase a new solar power system for your home or business through SolarGem however we will actually initiate the process for each and every customer. This includes both the state rebate and federal tax credit programs. Moreover homeowners wary of having a solar power system installed due to the cost of installation and purchase should keep in mind that through these rebates and tax credits and a homeowner can recoup up to 50% of the initial cost.

Not only do we aim to provide individuals with state-of-the-art solar power technology but great customer service as well.

The Use of Solar Panels Help To Prevent Global Warming

According to reliable sources, ten percent of our nation’s electrical needs are generated by solar panels. To carry it a step further, solar panel use helps to prevent global warming. As with any other new product now available, the initial costs are high, and as those needs are met, the price comes down. Although that hasn’t entirely happened yet with solar panels, each new day brings changes and the prices will come down.

In Ohio several universities keep studying and improving solar panels, and it won’t be long until everyone wants them for the sole purpose of cutting their electric bill in half. The high price is still the strongest barrier but when competitors keep learning and improving just like the universities, we all know competition brings the price down faster than anything else.

Places like the Veterans Administration hospital in Loma Linda, California have invested greatly to bring solar panels to their facility. The panels aren’t in place at this moment but the parking structures are, and it won’t be long until the hospital will be saving hundreds and hundreds of dollars on their utilities.

When large facilities like the VA invest in anything you know it will soon become the trend of the land, and you’ll see many business and private homes making the same investment. How long the tax credits will last to those who purchase solar panels, it’s hard to say. Many are skeptical of anything that the government is claiming, but you can’t avoid seeing the results all around us.

If you get the chance to talk to someone who has invested in solar panels, ask them if they have saved any money. Most, if not all have stated that they have even been able to sell some of their electricity back to their local electric company. It won’t take long for that to take hold.

When you decide that you want to jump on the bandwagon, contact one of the many local solar panel companies. Ask to speak to their customers, and they will surely have many satisfied customers. Appreciate the fact that the company has taken it upon themselves to invest their time and money to change the way America thinks about solar panels and global warming.

You’ll find that when you educate yourself, you will be able to make important decisions using the facts that solar panels will help to reduce the effects of climate change.

Plan for Solar Electric Power

Before you start your plans for solar electric power, educate yourself in what the changes will mean for you. You may want to be totally self-sufficient and at the same time save money on your utilities. Changing to solar electric power will do both of those things and at the same time you’ll be saving our country by becoming ‘green.’

The best time to decide what is needed will be when the home is built, but many are going ahead and changing out the of electric power to solar electric power to achieve the same success as a new home will provide. So in both new homes and older homes, you should first check the windows and make sure they are double paned. Over time window and doorframes become weathered and aged and they need to be draft proof. Attic insulation also needs to be checked and either upgraded or replaced.

After you’ve checked and find that your home is up to standards, plan your solar electric power. You may need a professional to achieve the greatest success. If you’re planning on doing the project yourself, there are some things that you’ll need. Things like a battery meter and a start-stop switch for the solar power generator.

The professional suggest more outlets, and some could be low voltage outlets that will work well for devices that require little energy. Phone answering machines and fans work well with those. You’ll be able to put more outlets outside and in places like workshops, detached garages, or even gazebos. Place the outlets where more work will take place instead of lighting up the entire area, like desks or workbenches.

Power tools, lawn mowers, and other outside devices will require the outside outlets. Most plugs work on 120 volt power, and the stronger electric needs of 220 or 240 volt could be handled with your former electric power, at least until they find ways to convert the solar electric power to that higher voltage. Then you will be totally self-sufficient, and your utility company may be coming to you to purchase your electricity.

When you decide on solar power, keep that in mind whenever you purchase items that will run off that power. Just remember converted solar power is still electricity and it takes a person familiar with electricity to process the photovoltaic collection panels and battery storage units for use in your home outlets.

What is Solar Energy?

Solar Energy is the ability to create heat or electrical power from the sun and is referred to as solar energy. It is also clean and doesn’t pollute our environment.
There are two types of solar energy:

No. 1 = Solar thermal conversion uses the sun to create heat and that turns into electrical power. Solar means of the sun; thermal means of heat; and conversion means to change from one form to another.

No. 2 = Photovoltaic conversion. Photo means light; Voltaic means producing electricity.

Solar Thermal Conversion use reflectors or mirrors that concentrate the sun’s light to extremely intense heat. It works in the same way as a magnifying glass that can start a fire when held over flammable material. The reflectors or mirrors direct the sunlight on to containers that are filled with liquid and sometimes they use water. However the water does not retain the heat as well as other liquid.

They heat the liquid to high temperatures and that produces steam. Then the steam turns a turbine and the turning motion creates electricity. Electricity generators, windmills, and even nuclear power plants generate energy in the same way. However windmills use wind to create the turning, and nuclear power plants use coal or gas to create the energy.

Photovoltaic Conversion creates a cell that turns to electric energy when it is exposed to light and it works similar to a flashlight battery with a positive and negative charge. They usually have panels that have two layers of material with a positive and a negative and when a wire connects the two it creates electricity.

The amount of electricity generated depends on how much is exposed to the sun, how strong the sun is, the time of day, weather and where it is located. For instance the solar power cell creates more electricity when it is near the equator than the ones in the arctic regions.

The improvements made in recent years and the solar energy is becoming more popular as people become more familiar with the process. One business that plans to change its entire operation is the Veterans Administration Hospital in Loma Linda, California. They have constructed strong metal beams all across their parking lots. The beams face to the south and west and they will be installing solar energy and creating their own power plant.

To make your own investment on a smaller scale, contact a business online and make the same decisions to control your own future.

Solar Power For Your Home: Still On The Fence?

Homeowners who want to reduce the cost of energy consumption within their home have just two options. The first option being the heavy monitoring of energy usage within their homes. This often means double and triple checking to ensure that lights are turned off when people leave the room, TVs are on only when they are being used, and even ensuring things are unplugged when they are going to remain unused for long periods of time. The second option homeowners have when they want to reduce energy costs and consumption is to have a solar power system installed within their home. The first option while noble, isn't always practical.

Solar power systems dramatically reduce even a large family's electrical bill and is great for the environment. Some homeowners however ask themselves "is solar power really worth it?" While it certainly costs a pretty penny to convert sunlight to energy and the initial cost of having a solar powered system installed can be expensive, the ends completely justifies the means. While it's true that material handling, manufacturing, production efficiency and installation drive up the initial price of solar power systems, homeowners will see a dramatic reduction in costs almost immediately and will feel better knowing that they are helping to reduce waste by utilizing a green technology.

Homeowners who have been on the fence for some time about whether or not to have a solar power system installed on their home can rest easy knowing that the technology has advanced rapidly over the past few years which in turn has driven costs down considerably. These falling costs have made it possible for even homeowners operating on small budgets to have a modest system installed. While these modest systems don't completely take a homeowner off the grid they still reduce monthly electricity costs significantly. Upfront expenses for installation used to cost anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000. These days however a modest system can be installed for around $5000 which gives families of any size the chance to go green and to reduce costs.

Homeowners who decide to make the leap and have a solar power system installed in their home will have a number of different types of systems to choose from. Some of these will simply reduce costs but keep them connected to their electric company. The more expensive and upscale systems will allow homeowners to go completely off the grid and function independently away from any electric company. The best solar power systems will even allow homeowners to harness energy during the day for usage at night and for times when there is no traditional power available.

There has never been a better time for homeowners to have a solar power system installed in their home. There was once a time when the cons outweighed the pros but that time has long since past. Many of the companies that set up solar power systems for homes are now offering special deals that can help homeowners take advantage of even lower than normal prices. The time to act is now a if you own a home.
