Winter Storm…Power Outages…Good time for Solar!
Posted on February 8th, 2010 by Sulaiman
The Blizzard of 2010 dumped 20+ incheson snow in the Washington,DC Metropolitan area leaving many without power. When there is no power there is a lack of other necessities such as HEAT and COMMUNICATION but you can be prepared next time. No I’m not talking about a stock pile of candles or flash lights nor generators…How about SOLAR. That’s RIGHT…Solar Power from the Sun. Solar power can make you INDEPENDENT from your utility company…No need to wait and depend on your utility companies when you have your own power. There are several options which are affordable.
Option # 1 (Permanent Solar Install on your home)
A permanent solar install can be a little expensive just looking at average cost but after many federal and state incentives for homeowners investing in renewable energy the install can become very affordable. The great thing about using solar is that your home will generate its own power without the need of a utility company. Matter of fact, you can even earn money from the utility company when you produce more power than you actually use…this is called “Net Metering”. Another advantage of going solar is that Solar Panels continue to generate power for your home even in the snow! No more Power Outages due to winter storms.
Option # 2 (Portable Solar System)
A portable solar system can be used to power small electronic devices during a power outage such as a portable heater, a small refrigerator, lamps, laptops, radios,and etc. Whatever you decide is the most important thing to have where there is a power outage.

I definitely wish I had a solar back-up when my power cut out
