Renewable Energy
Renewable energy technology is no longer just for the
committed treehugger, or the independently wealthy: a full range of
solar energy and wind power products now exist that
can let you start introducing renewable power into your lifestyle
slowly, as costs permit. If you're not quite ready for a full-scale
alternative energy system, products such as solar
lights, solar water heaters, and small-scale wind
energy generators can help you lower your carbon footprint and
save money... without shelling out a ton up front.
If you're ready for a renewable energy system to produce power for your home, make sure to explore local, state, and federal tax incentives... you may find that a solar system or wind turbine costs less than you realize, and will pay for itself over time. And don't feel that renewables are an either/or decision for your home energy needs: grid-tied systems allow you to stay connected to the power grid, and, in many states, sell excess power back to your local electric company.
Remember that a home that runs on renewable power must be energy efficient, so take a look at our current offerings of ENERGY STAR appliances, and LED lighting.
