Solar energy is more versatile than you think. Discover 5 practical and awesome ways to use solar panels in your daily routine—and start saving energy today.
Batteries and Solar Panels: Basics 101
Did you know that a plane has flown around the world without using a drop of fuel?
How?
Solar panels and batteries, that’s how!
Battery technology has been advancing at a rapid rate. If you want to use electricity while the sun isn't shining, you'll need a battery to store excess energy produced during the day.
To get energy from your solar panels to your batteries to your house you need to set up a basic solar power system. Your solar panels will be connected to a regulator. That regulator both sends DC electricity to your house and to your batteries. The batteries can then send power to DC appliance and will need to be connected to an inverter to send power to AC appliances
At first, it sounds a little complicated, but once you break it down, it's not so tricky. Here’s why behind the system.

Recycling in America
You are late for work. Standing in line at a supermarket, you glare at the slow shop assistant while inching your way to the front of the queue.
After what feels like an hour, you finally buy what you came for. It's a vitamin boosting concoction with enough caffeine to get you buzzing. It's the big meeting day and you need all the energy you can get.
At the office, you neaten your clothes and get your notes ready - it's time. Downing the last bit of your drink, you drop it neatly into the recycling bin. Time to crush that meeting.
Wait.. hold on... you dropped your empty bottle into the recycling bin?
Not only are you a super busy career worker, but you have time to be kind to the planet too? Your whole office deserves an award just for having a recycling bin in the first place. All this good karma is going to be great for you, the business AND the environment.
But before getting too happy, let’s see what happens to that bottle you just threw away.
Do Solar Panels work in the Cold?
Solar panels are the golden child of renewable energy source. They continue to produce electricity in almost all weather conditions. Interestingly, solar panels work even better in cold environments. When we think of energy from the sun, we automatically imagine the warmth we feel and assume that it's all about heat. But solar energy is more like photosynthesis. It's about the light, not the heat. Like a computer, the panels operate better if they are colder. Cold and sunny climates are the perfect location for solar panels.

The Impact of Offshore Wind Farms
Wind is the world's fastest growing renewable power source. With businesses around the globe competing to help countries meet their energy goals, wind turbine technology has been progressing at a hasty rate. The annual growth rate of wind power capacity has averaged at 25% in the last 5 years. Running out of viable land, coastal areas are looking to the world's oceans to continue growing their wind capacity.
