A Digest of Urban Survival Resources
Since we live in an area with a faulty power grid, I often write about
alternative energy ideas and resources. No matter where you live, it is always
a good time to look at solar energy.
Jessica of MPOWERED read one of our articles and sent me a pretty
remarkable device called Luci, an inflatable, micro-solar lantern that is
waterproof, shatterproof, lightweight, portable and rechargeable.
MPOWERD offers many solar related
products that are functional for emergencies, camping and boating, power
outages, auto breakdowns and other crisis situations. I might suggest grabbing a few for your family
or perhaps to use for gift giving this holiday season.
There are several areas a homeowner
needs to examine before you convert a home to solar energy. One helpful site is FindSolar.com, a web site
powered by the American Solar Energy Society which helps you calculate the
estimated savings you will realize based on the variables.
MPOWERED also offers their product as
a fundraiser, something worth reviewing for you Boy Scout group, church, school
or other organization.

Net meters allow customers who generate electricity through
their solar panels to feed electricity back into the grid. The meter also
gives the consumer a breakdown of usage with each monthly bill. You can
monitor exactly how much it's costing to cool or heat your home, wash your
dishes or dry your clothes, for example. More »
