Choice between a Solar Panels System and a Magnetic Generator

When we take a glance at the different possibilities of setting up an Alternative Energy System for our home, we realize that two of the options we can pick out are, a Solar Energy System or a Magnetic Electricity Generator.



Generally speaking, I could say that both sources of energy are very good. Nonetheless, each way has some advantages and disadvantages that we must bear in mind. The advantages of an alternative, clean and renewable energy are clear, mainly because the obtained energy is completely free and non-contaminating, although they have some disadvantages too. One of these is the room the introduction of these methods requires in our homes: while the solar panels can be set up on the roof of our house, the magnetic generator requires a specific space to be placed… But this little inconvenience should not be an obstacle if we actually are for a sustainable, clean energy to power our home.



The biggest problem when building a home clean energy system is, for the majority of us, the financial issue. Solar energy for powering our home and its different lights and devices is great, but a full home solar energy system is actually too expensive to fit in the financial possibilities of the average family in almost all countries in the world.



On the other hand, purchasing a magnet-based generator is not as simple as that since, at the time I am writing this article, I do not know about any company that is making and distributing this sort of generators.



Therefore, the solution in either case would be to introduce a DIY or homemade energy system, either a solar energy or a magnet generator system.



There are some ways in which we can build a set of solar panels ourselves (which are the most expensive element in the solar energy solution) as well as make a magnetic generator with the help of some mechanic experts close at hand.



In my opinion, we could try both systems, because the solar thermal energy or STE (that is to say, the technology for utilizing solar energy to obtain hot water and heating systems) is not as costly as photovoltaics (which translates solar energy directly into electrical power). In my recent stay in India, I was happy to find that in some hostels there was "unlimited" hot water service and that this was thanks to the solar thermal energy systems they had built up on the roof. It was very encouraging news to see how people are moving into alternative, renewable and non-polluting energy sources in different countries of the world.



As for the electricity our homes need, a photovoltaic electricity system would be the solution… if the solar panels were not so outrageously expensive! To get over this obstacle we have two choices: either we make the solar panels ourselves or we take to the magnetic generator. If you asked me "what would you choose?" my answer would be: "Both!" (Whenever possible, of course, and gradually at any rate).



Finally, if we wish to help each other and ourselves by utilising non-contaminating energy sources for the sake of our planet, the two choices mentioned in this article are a very salutary solution. Nevertheless, they are not the only possibilities in order to power our homes with clean energy: wind energy is also a very good alternative too, but of this I will speak in another article!
