You have probably heard about solar power and how it is the new and upcoming alternative energy source of the future. It’s just not a buzzword anymore. It is a viable way for you to save time and money, while at the same time make a conscious effort to save the environment and the planet. Solar power has been revolutionized and new technology is allowing it to not only power your home, but to power personal devices such as cell phones, personal entertainment systems, and other electronic devices that you could use in virtually any situation. Whether you are a first responder to an emergency situation, you want to go camping, or you just want a radio on your next boating trip to work without batteries, personal solar power is the new-age way to get the power without using batteries or other environmentally damaging power sources. Solar power is now affordable to everyone and is available in a variety of ways to help save the environment. Where solar power used to be laughed at by skeptics, it is now being embraced as the alternative energy source that rivals hydrogen, hybrids, and other forms of alternative energy. As we try to break our addiction to fossil fuels, solar power has become the number one topic among think tanks and college professors. It has also become a topic of concern for top government officials in the relentless pursuit to break free of foreign oil and fossil fuels. In this e-book you will learn how to make, and how you can put this type of technology in your life to save not only the environment but money. By understanding the uses of personal solar power and the uses the solar power can be used for in your home, you could get off the power grid, away from the dominance of the power companies and other industries that think they have you by the neck. You can become independent and not rely on corporate power grids or government sanctions. With the secrets revealed in this e-book you’ll be able to not only have personalized solar power equipment, but you will be able to understand some primitive solar power technology that you can put to use in your life to become more independent from government or corporate powers.

What is Solar Power?
With the talk of global warming and the need for alternative energy sources you might hear that term is solar power mentioned on the news cast or in the newspapers. What exactly is solar power? Solar power is energy directly from the sun. The sun's energy is responsible for supporting life on Earth and it also creates the winds and weather conditions on our planet. Solar power can be attributed to creating wind. When that wind is harnessed by wind turbines, it creates analytical energy. Ancient cultures, a long time ago, collected solar power by having windows or doors that faced the sun. The sun would come in through these openings and warm the interior of the home. Homes were also built to protect against the wind. The least used part of the house was always facing north.
Solar power and solar energy is basically the same thing. It's the conversion of sunlight into electricity which is then used in our homes. Solar power can be used directly by using the photovoltaic effect or by heating some kind of fluid in a generator. When the sun heats the liquid, the steam rises, turning the turbines of the generator. This produces electricity which is used in homes, automobiles, and industry needs.
Particles in the atmosphere, such as dust and other air pollutants, reflect the sun away from the Earth. These damaging particles can reduce the amount of sun reaching the Earth which can cause troubles with plant and animal life. Clouds also reflect and absorb some of these solar energy. Once again, solar energy is prevented from reaching the Earth, for warm or any other use.
Many technologies have been invented to trap solar energy and solar power. These technologies are utilized in agriculture, city planning, solar lighting, water heating, cooking, and most importantly heating homes and other buildings. These uses reduce the need for fossil fuel energy resources such as coal, gas, propane, and oil. By increasing the use of solar power technology, the world will significantly reduces its need and use of fossil fuels. The Earth would then have a cleaner environment because there would be less fuel emissions and factory pollution, Thus, drastically reducing the amount of air pollutants within the atmosphere.
With rising gas prices, the automobile industry is racing to find alternative ways to fuel cars. The hybrid is the most popular car that is being built today. The hybrid combines generated electricity to run an electric motor from a gasoline motor. However popular, this design has a negative and that is that is that hybrids still use gasoline. An ideal car would have the electricity generated from the sun and have a backup electric cell battery for cloudy day.
This text will explore the uses of solar power and how these technologies might change the way that you travel, heat your home, and go about your daily lives. Solar power is not going away and is one of the biggest sources of unharnessed energy that there is on the Earth. Any machine that has an electric motor can be powered by solar power. It just takes innovation, dedication, and money to bring these technologies around for full-time public use. In advertising the use of solar energy, an entire community converted to solar power receives the benefit of clean running energy that reduces cost while providing a cleaner environment. At this point, solar power equipment is expensive and it takes a few years before consumers recover the initial cost of lower energy bills.
How Can You Use Solar Power for Daily Living
When one thinks about solar power and solar power equipment, the image of huge solar panels on top of the roof of a house or building usually comes in mind. Solar power has many uses beyond those of producing electricity for houses or for automobiles. Even small electrical devices can be powered by solar energy in lieu of a battery or any outlet plug-in. Devices such as cell phones, GPS units, and laptops can be solar powered. All you need is the right connectors, the right amperage and voltage of the device and a battery to store the energy solar panels collect.
You can modify and customize your solar panels and battery device to collect any amount of energy you wish up to the threshold. After the threshold, or when the battery is full, the solar energy is just being reflected from the solar panels. The battery should be compatible with the device you want to use it for. For smaller devices you need a smaller area with less voltage or with a different lot rating. How many times have you been out fishing or camping and your cell phone battery goes out? Most people carry cell phone adapters for their cars so that they may recharge the battery in their automobile. This is fine if the engine is on or the engine has been used to charge the battery in the vehicle. But running the engine is a cause of pollutants and other toxic materials which you are releasing out into the environment just by charging up your cell phone.
