Renewable energy sources (RES), which are based primarily on solar, wind, geothermal and hydroelectric power, have become increasingly popular in recent years. Although they require a sizable investment at the outset, they give customers the confidence that they are taking care of the environment and the future of their household and business. Are renewable energy sources for everyone, and what commitments do they entail?
What exactly are renewable energy sources?
Renewable energy sources are inexhaustible sources of energy of natural origin – that is, among other things, solar radiation, precipitation, wind, geothermal, or energy obtained with the help of water. Currently, most of the world’s energy comes from non-renewable energy sources – the opposite of RES.
These include fossil fuels – coal, fossil uranium, oil, natural gas. Although they are used by many countries, we must realize that these raw materials are running out over the years – that’s why scientists show that it is a much more attractive option to look for new energy sources.
What solutions can be introduced based on RES?
For individual or company installations, solutions such as:
- heat pumps,
- photovoltaic panels,
- solar collectors,
- energy storage,
- geothermal installation,
- biomass boilers,
- wind power plants.
Everything really depends on what kind of building the installation will be in, as well as whether the client will obtain all the necessary approvals from the state administration at the design stage. In order to perfectly match the installation to your needs when designing the building, it is worth considering other factors, such as the space you need to set aside for the installation.
Why choose renewable energy sources specifically?
There are really many reasons and benefits for choosing renewable energy sources. Nowadays, however, the most important thing is to take care of the environment – this is what our country, continent or simply the planet will look like in a few decades when non-renewable energy sources run out.
Renewable energy sources come with many benefits:
- Your household can become independent of electricity suppliers by generating your own energy,
- you will take care of the environment locally, but also globally,
- you will avoid many additional fees associated with contracts with suppliers, and you will eliminate the risk of breakdowns and power outages to your building,
- you will reduce your expenses and electricity bills, as you do not have to worry about electricity price increases, as is the case when using classic energy suppliers.
- It is worth realizing that in the past, renewable energy sources required quite a large financial investment at the very beginning. Nowadays, however, investment in the installation of renewable energy sources is available at an attractive price, and, most importantly, our customers have the opportunity to take advantage of state subsidies. Having your own energy source is an unimaginable benefit, if you only care about protecting the environment and running an efficient household.
