Power Efficiency
Power efficiency saves you money. Where solar power is concerned it saves even more money. These pages will get you to think about how much power you use. Whether it's solar power or not, you can reduce what you pay for electricity.
Power Optimization
What do you think of when you hear about power efficiency?
Saving electricity of course. That's an important thing, but it's just as important to use the best power source for each purpose. This is especially important if your electricity is generated by solar power.
What's the right power source?
Well it depends on two things; what is needed and what's available. For example, if you have a source of logs then that might be the best power source for heating your living room.
Before you think about which appliances or fittings you need, you need to pay attention to your power usage patterns. Are you the sort of person who leaves the light on when you're out of a room? Do you leave the outside light on in daytime? Do you really need a huge upright freezer - if you eat all the stuff that's been in there for ages wouldn't a small chest freezer be adequate? Making simple changes to your lifestyle can be amongst the most effective power saving strategies of all - and they needn't cost you a penny.
Appropriate power
The biggest gains are usually to be found in lighting. Using the right sort of lamps in the right places can pay dividends for anybody, but especially for solar power users. Selecting the right type of lighting.
Think about what you use for heating.
Refrigeration and other appliances need to be carefully considered to reduce power use. It stands to reason that the fewer appliances you have the less power you will use, but if there's something you have to have, then a little thought can make all the difference.
