China has become the world leading producer of solar and wind technologies

Solar technology

Although quite expensive, the prices of these panels are starting to drop.
The best part about this is that the installation will slowly repay itself!
This means while you are feeling good about reducing your carbon footprint, you can also feel good about saving money in the long run! It will pay itself in about 10 - 15 years


Basically energy from the sun is converted into electricity through solar cells known as photo voltiacs.

COST: A rough range for upfront costs, including installation, for solar panels, inverter box, wiring, etc., is approximately $30-40,000 for a single family house, if you are looking to entire replace grid-based electricity with solar energy.  It seems expensive but remember! It will pay off in the long run.



Wind technology



Wind turbines are used to generate kinetic energy from the kinetic power of wind.

Wind turbines provide an inexpensive, self reliant way of generating clean energy.

However, there are some disadvantages with regard to birds, thunderstorms and the fact that there is not always wind to power the turbines.
