Let’s face it going Green will cost money, but then,

so does everything else.

As your new Energy Saving systems begin to do their job, your savings will also begin to grow.

In time, this new Energy will pay for itself and you will help make the Planet a little greener while you do it.

You won't need to do everything all at once, let’s take baby steps.

I think the fastest and least expensive to chose to help one understand just how easy and great going green really is would be to start with hooking up to hot water and hot water for heat.

In the hot summer, have you ever left your garden hose out on the ground until the next day, thinking you'll finishing the watering tomorrow?

If you go back in a couple of hours, the water coming out of that hose is really hot. This is something like what happens in a solar panel, only the sun hits the pipe holding water, then hits sand, bounces back and hits the pipe again, producing lots of hot water.

Sand pipes work great in sand and today there are products that work even better and are lighter.

But for now, let’s go with the old sand box Idea.

This box with the intense sun rays on it, is the reason you can and will get hot water even in the colder weather and also from the moon on most nights.

Now, you can run a hose from this panel down to a tank and another hose from the tank back up to the panel.

 Now you will start getting free hot water, not much and not fast or efficient, but soon, you will get hot water because heat rises and will push until the colder water also gets hot.

During this planning stage, you can build the box called a solar panel.

Adding a valve to force the water in one direction and a low voltage pump and some piping will make this last a lot longer than your garden hose.

This will give you a lot more hot water without the use of the power company and for a much longer period of time.

This is a very crude application just to show you a basic system that does not cost a lot of money.

Before going through the expense of installing this system, you would want to know about other ideas for producing hot water much faster, for not much more money.

An example would be, a solar panel that would do hot water and produce electricity and have a circulating pump that would run off of this electricity. For free!

Another example would be a holding tank, that does not lose heat, to store this hot water in until it is needed.
