Your Home Solar Energy is a website that provides information for homeowners considering installing alternative energy sources, or using energy efficient solar powered devices, to save money as well as helping the environment.

We no longer have to rely on corporations to supply all of our energy needs.
We can generate our own power!
Thousands of homeowners are saving money while gaining energy independence and helping the environment at the same time by using home solar energy systems and solar powered lights and devices!



The technology is improving and costs are coming down, and governments around the world are providing incentives to homeowners to install solar panels to help reduce their national dependence on fossil fuels and national carbon emissions.

  • You can even build your own home solar energy panels to save even more money, protect the environment, and ensure that your future electricity requirements are secure!

Experts expect that the cost of traditional energy supplies will continue to rise if we carry on relying on current technologies and business models. With demand increasing from population growth and modern lifestyles, suppliers will earn higher profits before significant additional energy resources come online. But if little additional energy is being generated in the short term, then scarcity and demand must push up prices. Great for shareholders, but hardly encouraging for everyone else, although higher prices encourage energy conservation and make setting up your own independent alternative supply even more viable.

  • It is time to break free from the paradigm that all our energy needs must be supplied by corporate entities with huge generating systems located long distances from where the energy is used.

The majority of power generation in the USA and many other western countries is based on fossil fuels, mainly coal, followed by natural gas. As everyone knows, these resources are finite, and utilizing them also has negative effects on the environment.

Fortunately, new sustainable clean technologies with environmental benefits are being developed at an increasing pace. The focus is mainly on extracting power from solar energy (sunlight) and from wind energy. Another promising technology is extracting energy from waves and tides. At this time, these new technologies appear to be the best options for sustainable and clean sources of electricity in the future, but solar energy and wind energy are the current front runners.

However, the present ability of these new technologies to meet the full demands of medium to large cities is limited by the lack of suitable land near to a lot of cities in which to build the huge arrays of solar panels or wind turbines required to meet demand. The arrays already built in the USA contribute to the electricity grid but so far only provide a fraction of the overall supply. Huge areas of land, preferably close to cities, will be needed to build solar or wind “farms” large enough to meet demand. Of course, these “farms” tend to be unsightly and most people don't enjoy viewing such landscapes from their homes.

However, consider the area already available on the roofs of houses and commercial buildings that could be used to generate electricity from free, clean, sustainable solar energy! Right where the energy is needed!

These new alternative energy technologies are perfect for individual home owners to adopt to reduce exposure to future high energy costs as well as reduce the demand for energy generated from traditional sources. It is quite possible, with a bit more investment and a shift to energy efficient products and practices, to generate enough energy to store extra energy in batteries, so that a home can be powered completely independently of the traditional power grid!

  • More and more people are making the decision to invest in energy independence for their homes and their families, and more and more government agencies are encouraging this with financial incentives to reduce the costs.

Setting up solar panels and/or a windmill on your home is a proven, practical way to supplement your electricity supply from your local utility. It's quite practical to generate enough to meet a large amount of your electricity requirements. And some utilities will also credit you for any excess energy generation when you feed it back into the local grid.
