Using
solar devices is the easiest way to begin the slow withdrawal
from oil. Everyone who owns a home can do this. Even if
you rent, you can ask your landlord to help you install
certain devices.
This is the best way to save money for the long haul.
With the federal and state tax credits and the HECO
$1000 instant rebate, these solar devices will save
everyone lots of money for years and years. It is essentially
hot water for free after about two years.
Go to the HECO
Website for more information on renewable energy.
Light Tunnels are a great way to light a room with natural
daylight. They are composed of a translucent dome on
the roof, a tunnel of highly polished, reflective material
connecting to another dome inside your room. After installation
costs, these units provide free light for the life of
your home. They can be extended through attics with
hardly any loss of light. An amazing invention!

This is a great way to cool your attic and upper rooms.
This really works and cost nothing to operate. All the
power is generated by the photo voltaic panel attached
to the exhaust motor. They are also totally quiet.

These actually generate electricity in the form of DC
current and require an inverter to convert the DC power
to AC. Once that happens you can watch your electric
meter go backwards! Homeowners can purchase PV panels
in stages to take advantage of the Federal and State
tax credits. Every year homeowners can deduct up to
$5,000 against the cost of the devices and their installation.
Another
way to use PV power is to install batteries in your
home to store power for night time use or use during
possible blackouts.
