Unless you're filthy rich, you're probably always on the lookout for ways to save a couple bucks. One of the best ways to cut your monthly bills is by investing in renewable energy. Not from the power plant, but stuff you can scare up yourself.
Using renewable energy to power your home can reduce or completely eliminate your utility bills, and the tax incentives for installing renewables can make them even more cost effective. Here are seven different ways to power your home with renewable energy.
This is probably the most common and obvious method, if you're looking into renewable power. Solar panels typically go on your roof, although you can also install them in your yard. Depending on your latitude and the orientation of the panels, you could generate 10 or more watts per square foot. A typical house consumes at least a kilowatt of power, so a few square feet of solar panels should be enough to power most or all of your needs. And this is not all.
If your current roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, you could also consider investing in solar shingles. Where standard rooftop solar panels are mounted on top of your current roof, solar shingles actually take the place of your roof tiles.
Of course, one big weakness of solar power is that it only works when the sun is up. If you want to power your home when the sun is down, you'll need to pay for grid electricity or invest in a second type of renewable energy.
You should think about solar oven!!
For the end, think about wind generators. It is low cost and when the sunlight is little, the wind power keep working on you. But is best way to satisfy your energy needs is to combine solar as well as wind power generation.

Hello! And I'm more interested in the children's room. What should be the light. I have a small child and I want him to be healthy. I read a lot of information. Who knows what is interesting write.
We also had a problem with lighting for baby. Could not choose the right option. A children's room for a child is both a bedroom and a playroom. From the correct lighting depends on the child's well-being. Нis psychological mood and the state of the nervous system. In the daytime under the sun, the room is lively and noisy. In the evening, soft light contributes to a quieter, more peaceful atmosphere. Also, light forms vision. And the child's vision should be formed in the most optimal light. The main thing is not to allow too dull or bright light. It is necessary to look in which direction the room is directed. The most favourable location is east or south-east. In this case, in the morning, the sun's rays have a beneficial effect on your baby. The northern part of the house requires additional lighting. Here the baby will be very short of sunlight and sunshine. He becomes capricious and absent-minded.
You can replace the curtains with more airy and transparent ones. Optimum for the child will be blue, green and yellow tones during registration. The red and orange lampshades adversely affect the child's psyche.
We did that in the children's room should not be sharp, too bright lighting and dark corners. The location and number of fixtures will depend on the size of the room.
