As far as Renewable energy ( RE ) systems of homes are concerned Micro Generation of electrical power is what would be applicable. The Sustainable Energy Ireland ( SEI ) has two defined activities. i.e;

• Energy Efficiency - Most of you neglect this vital aspect of efficiency in energy usage. The SEI by educating and guiding end users to be more efficient in their energy usage hopes to achieve their targeted national goals in time.
• Renewable Energy- The other target of SEI is the promotion of wider usage of Energy produced through use of renewable energy sources such as Wind and Solar Power. The clean RE fuels will benefit the environment through the reduced threat to climate change.

The micro generation of power through renewable energy will assist SEI to achieve its target of producing 40 % of the total national power needs by 2020. Presently this percentage is just over 10%.

Renewable Energy Powered Electricity

Electrical power can be generated by three main technologies i.e;

• Wind Turbines
• Solar PV panels and Thermal Panels
• Micro Hydro Generation
• Micro Combine Heat and Power generation using Biomass or Biogas.

Though not covered under micro generation the use of geothermal energy with heat pumps also use an inexhaustible and infinite power source.

The types of Renewable Energy installations

There are three basic types of Installations viz.

• Grid inter tied
• Grid inter tied with Battery back up
• Off grid ( aka stand alone)

Each has its own distinct application, advantages and component needs.

What is Micro Generation?

By current definition as laid down by ESB distribution network Micro generation is:

• Generation of single phase power of less than 5.75 kw equipment rating (or 25A connection) to the house by renewable energy fuels.
• Generation of 3 phase power of less than 11 kw equipment rating (or 16A per phase connection ) to the house by renewable energy fuels.

Incentives for RE usage

The biggest incentives for using Micro generation power would be;

• Soon to be implemented by back of surplus power
• Lower electricity bills
• Hedging against future increases of energy prices
• Less green house gas emissions
• Reduced reliance on fossil fuels
• Reduced energy losses on the ESB network.(This is about 7% for the Irish grid)
• Improved BER

Grid tied (aka On-grid) Renewable Energy Power generation

Taking Solar PV panel micro generation as an example On Grid and Off Grid Micro power generation would include some of the following components;

• Solar Electric (PV) Panels
• Array Mounting rack
• Array DC disconnect
• Charge controller
• Battery Bank
• System meter
• Main DC disconnect
• Inverter
• AC breaker panel
• Kilowatt Hour meter (smart meter for two way power flow monitoring)
• Back up generator (burning bio fuel, Natural gas etc.)

Note the systems do vary and not all equipment components are necessary for every system type. The last mentioned generator back up could be fossil fuel burning .When wind, sunlight or water flow is not adequate the back up generator will come in handy in a stand alone system. The duration of annual operation however will not be more than 50 to 200 hrs in general.

If you’re concerned about your mother earth and the atmosphere in which you are living then it is the right time to act. It is necessary to act if we are well-determined to give a clean and idyllic planet to out future generation. It is only possible with the joint efforts of all the human beings existing on this earth.

A study estimates that mankind will face an excessive shortage of energy resources in the upcoming period of time. It is basically because the present sources of energy are limited (non-renewable) and will unable to meet the requirements of the population pressure of the future.

The limited sources of energy normally include the supply of natural gas, coal, petroleum, etc. to meet the needs of industries, various sectors and the common man. It will now take millions of years to attain the same stage where one can avail the same quantity of renewable sources which people were using to meet all kinds of needs some decades ago. In addition to this, an excessive use of the burning fuel is also promoting the threat of global warming in the entire planet.  

What can be a sensible solution to the problem when in the upcoming decades we will lose all the major but limited sources of energy after doing immense amount of damage to the atmosphere in which we and all the other species survive?

We can get a better answer to this question with the help of renewable sources of energy. It is a matter of debate since past whether the non-conventional sources of energy are proficient enough to meet the ever increasing demand of energy throughout the world.

It is a fact that most of the people including a great margin of researchers and scholars not only believe but guarantee that non conventional sources including wind, solar, tidal and geothermal energy can be more competent to the rising needs of the mankind in contrast to the traditional conventional sources of  energy. One better source of renewable energy is solar wind.

Like all the other renewable sources the best part of going for the renewable energy solar wind is that you can avail one more means by which it is possible to generate good amount of energy without polluting the atmosphere of earth. Like other renewable sources of energy you can avail all kinds of information about renewable energy solar wind with the help of internet. There are some of the good sites available on the internet which can provide necessary services on renewable energy solar wind for free! One such site is Enerlix, formerly known as Energyportal24.

With the rising energy costs and effects of global warming so prevalent today, many people are wondering if there is truth to the concept of renewable energy technology. There also appears to be confusion between alternative energy technology and renewable energy technology. Alternative energy encompasses all renewable energy sources, but includes things like nuclear power and energy from municipal waste. These are carbonaceous examples. Renewable energy technology focuses on energy that is replaced as it is being used, such as solar energy and wind energy.

With that clear, are there truly benefits on a home or small business level to renewable solar technology? Absolutely. Truthfully, by utilizing renewable energy technology on a home level you can save yourself thousands of dollars each year. Renewable energy technology has gained popularity in recent years and it has become increasingly easy to meet your home’s energy needs with just a little handyman work. With the information available about renewable energy technology, it is possible to build renewable energy products, such as a windmill or solar panel, on your own. Do-it-yourselfers are saving huge amounts of pocket change by building and installing these systems themselves. If you have the money to invest in a commercial professionally installed system, in general these are more efficient, however, savings can still be realized, and at a much faster rate, by researching and building your own renewable energy systems.

Renewable energy technology is advancing with each day. Solar electrical systems have advanced from giant roof panels to thin layers of film that are twice as conductive and work with less sunlight. There are now solar powered charges for cell phones, batteries and other small household items. Windmills have been made more aerodynamic for greater action and electricity generation. Renewable energy technology can even be seen along today’s highways as small solar/wind operation stations powering signs and lights.

Many homeowners today are looking into integrating green energy sources for developing more energy efficient homes and businesses. A green energy source is power generated through renewable resources, such as the sun, wind and water. The other benefit of green energy sources is their low contribution to global warming, pollution and other environmental issues.

The most popular of green energy sources is the sun. Energy captured from the sun is called solar energy. Of the green energy sources, solar energy is the most popular because it offers multiple options for use. It is possible to harness electrical energy from the sun using solar panels consisting of photovoltaic cells that convert energy from the sun into electricity you can use in your home or business. There are also solar hot water collectors that use the heat of the sun to produce hot water. These solar green energy sources are readily available and increasing in popularity as most homes and businesses can have them mounted on their roof and they can take advantage of lowered utility costs.

The most efficient of green energy sources is wind. Wind has been used to power water pumps for centuries, but has grown in popularity as a way to supplement home and business electricity needs. Wind is the safest and cleanest of the green energy sources as it produces no pollutants and does not contribute to global warming. Wind energy is harnessed by erecting a turbine that spins in the breeze generating electricity. Unlike the sun, which can be found almost anywhere, in order to utilize wind as a green energy source, you must live in an area where wind is readily available.

Water is also a viable participant of green energy sources. Water is less widely used as a green energy source for homes, as not all homes have an available stream to produce the needed electricity. The Amish have used water to power entire shops using conveyer belt systems, so it is an old practice, but it is still being used successfully today. As with solar and wind energy, energy harnessed from moving water is almost completely pollutant free and is generated from a renewable resource.
