| Solar Panels |
Converts sunlight into electricity to power home's electrical systems. |
Requires sunlight exposure, government incentives may be available. |
| Wind Turbines |
Generates energy from wind; effective in areas with consistent wind speeds. |
Best suited for rural or open areas, less common than solar. |
| Geothermal Systems |
Uses earth's natural heat via underground pipes to heat and cool the home. |
High initial investment but provides long-term savings and minimal carbon footprint. |
| Hydropower |
Generates electricity from flowing water, ideal for homes near a water source. |
Geographical and regulatory constraints must be considered. |
| Solar Water Heating |
Uses solar panels to heat water, which is stored in a hot water tank. |
Reduces need for electricity or gas to heat water, adds efficiency. |
| Biomass Systems |
Uses organic materials to generate heat or electricity. |
Suitable for areas where other renewable resources are less viable. |
