BENEFITS OF SOLAR ENERGY FOR BELIZE

Earth Day is celebrated each year on April 22nd. This day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. This year celebration will focus on mobilizing the world to end plastic pollution and the promotion of renewable energies.

There are many renewable energy options available today including wind, bio-fuels, solar, biomass, geothermal and hydro-power. Of the six alternatives, solar is the fastest growing mainly because solar systems does not require a huge set up like in case of wind or geothermal power.

Since the nationalization of BEL by the government in 2011, all duty is waved on any alternative energy products entering the country. BEL's infrastructure does not allow a buy back or net metering however when the power goes out so do your lights with micro inverter solar cells. These do not make economic sense anywhere and will derail development progress and structural impediments continue to undermine sustainable development prospects.

Fashionable know-how can do numerous nice things; one is the use of solar energy for homes. Do you know that we can take pleasure in many benefits from utilizing solar energy? Photo-voltaic panels can now be installed at home by merely following comprehensible do it yourself instructions. Solar power systems are not expensive today and it is additionally not as laborious as we think.

With the rising demand for photo-voltaic powered properties, we can now find a variety of do it yourself tasks within the market. The explanation why many owners at the moment are choosing solar energy for its properties is because they wish to help in the persistent international warming crisis and electrical bills cost quite a bit these days.

The electrical energy provided in fashionable properties often comes from completely different power plants. These power plants use fossil fuels and so the electrical prices are greatly depending on the costs of crude oil. Fossil fuels are additionally depleting. There is a high demand for electrical energy however the resources have decreased greatly. In this kind of situation, the electrical prices will still continue to increase. The solar energy for properties is a wonderful answer to the problem.

By using fossil fuels, the problem with global warming and climate change will become worse. Dangerous gases are emitted by the electricity plants supplied with fossil fuels. If we don’t wish to contribute to the environmental problems any further, why not use solar energy in our homes now?

Several years in the past, the photo-voltaic cells were really expensive and inefficient. Again, the photo-voltaic cells had been fairly inefficient since they will not convert 100% of the rays of the sun into electricity. Most photo-voltaic cells can convert up to 25%. Since 2003 photo-voltaic cells have been exponentially improving. The new cells we have now can convert about 35% of the rays into usable electricity. The cells prices are also more affordable. The fashionable sunlight know how is now widely obtainable and even bizarre home owners can reap the benefits of it.

The solar energy kits can be found worldwide. We could purchase them in online stores or in some hardware stores. The solar energy kits present step by step instructions on easy methods to assemble the completely different materials. Customizing your individual solar energy system, you will spend about $2000 and it already includes the guide. With such funding, you may already profit from solar energy for a lot of years. You are not only saving money, however, you are additionally helping in saving the planet.

Renewable and clear vitality sources are in nice demand these days. The properties of the future at the moment are potential in at the moment’s fashionable world. We can begin with small tasks and work our way up. For instance, we may first work on the outdoors lighting, then we can do other projects. Don’t reduce off the prevailing electrical provide especially if that is our first time to do solar energy projects. Just use it as a compliment as a way to reduce your electrical energy consumption. Start along with your do it yourself solar energy project and light your property utilizing the sun’s energy.

There is a reason why solar energy has become a trending topic when talking about renewable. While it has been widely criticized for being expensive or not very efficient, solar energy has now proved to be extremely beneficial, not only for the environment, but also financially speaking, independently in Belize prices are roughly double USA price. Additionally, due to the higher demand, the technology has been improved considerably, turning into a significantly efficient source of clean energy. Summarizing, some advantages of solar energy are:

1.Renewable, sustainable and environmentally friendly clean energy source that is available every day of the year, even cloudy days produce some power;

2. Reduces electricity bills and can enhance the value of the homes;

3. Can be installed anywhere; from a remote field locations to on a city building;

4. Diverse applications (photo-voltaic for electricity or solar thermal for heat);

5. No maintenance costs as solar panels last over 30 years;

6. Use batteries to store extra power for use at night;

7. Provides energy reliability, energy independence and energy security;

8. Technology is in constant development and safer than traditional electric current, etc.

The tax increasing in Belize means that authorities does not have a strategic view and global approach to tax risk and controversy management, government is literally contracting our lives. The latest taxes increases show how government can keep up with and obtain the resources they need by blaming people, it has immediate and long term implications. Definitely Solar Power Systems are the best option for Belizeans not only because it helps to slow/stop global warming, but also due to the continuous tax increasing in fuel, electricity, internet, foods, and other primary necessities by our government.

If you are wondering about solar for your home or business, reach out! Let's see how much it can benefit your family or business. Hopefully, technological developments will soon enable us to stop using fossil fuels and be entirely dependent on renewable energy sources.

You can reach your own conclusions.

God bless Belize.
