I’ve been studying and pursuing solar energy advantages for more than a year now.

I am happy, no, thrilled with the obvious pursuit of renewable energy sources by federal and local governments as well as everyday citizens.

But I want information I can act on.

For the past year, August 2008 to August 2009, we have taken every actionable idea our home budget allowed.

This action steps centered on energy conservation measures. Indeed, energy conservation is the place to start.

The good news is that we reduced our home energy bill by 22.7 percent, a savings of almost $500 over the course of the year by practicing energy conservation measures only.

Really, if each of us practiced energy conservation only, a huge difference would be evident on our collective carbon footprint!

With all the conservation measures in place, the next steps are energy efficiency measures. These are the measures that cost a little bit of money—energy efficient windows, more home insulation, energy efficient heating/cooling systems, energy efficient appliances.

However, right now, I have no funds to take action on these efficiency items.

Sigh.

What’s a person on a tight budget to do?

Here’s some happy news for those of us living near San Antonio, Texas.

CPS Energy is working with Juwi Solar on a 14-megawatt project to be built near San Antonio, Texas. This project, the Blue Wing Solar Farm, promises to generate “enough energy for 1,800 homes each year.

While I am thrilled with this move to solar energy, which is clean and renewable, I doubt monthly home electric bills will decrease. Somebody’s paying for those solar panels, right?

So I still long for my own solar power generating system on my own roof! Sometimes, in my more discouraged moments, I wonder if it will every happen.

Take Advantage of the Sunshine

I love summer. But it’s wearing thin here in South Texas with temperatures still reaching into the triple digits, daily. Wouldn’t it be nice to know how to take advantage of this sunlight and reduce the electric bill?

Here are a few places you can learn about solar energy for your home.

This online course covers the “fundamentals of alternative energy for the individual home owner.”

If you live in Maryland, Maryland Solar Solutions is offering a course in September entitled “How to Fire The Electric Company and Produce My Own Clean Energy Needs.”

Distance Education.Org offers several online courses on solar energy to help you make informed, wise decisions about your solar needs, how solar works, solar thermal systems and solar photovoltaic systems.

If you know of other good solar energy courses for the homeowner please leave a note in the comments.

Thanks.

While many appreciate solar energy advantages to our energy bottom line, solar energy aesthetics leave a lot to be desired.

Some solar panel set-ups are eyesores.

Sometimes solar panels are not pretty.

Occasionally I travel up I-35 through Austin, Texas. I’ve watched an interesting set of solar panels go up over the past year or so. I always mean to stop to take pictures but never have.

Now someone has taken the pictures and written an informative article about these Austin Solar Sunflowers.

But, solar power can be beautiful!
