Introduction
Electricity is a form of energy resulting from charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either as an accumulation of charged or dynamically as a current. Electricity has been part of our lives for generations, providing us with heat and light. There are various things that people can do to reduce energy consumption in their homes, regardless of whether they are setting out home construction or renovating venture. We ought to save power to guarantee that it is utilized appropriately in the service of humanity. These are the steps that the homeowners can take to reduce their energy use and contribute to energy efficiency of the house.
Monitor energy consumption.

These cells do not require daylight to work, they can at present still create some power on a shady day. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which homeowners use to run their appliances and lighting. Storage system is required to be able to use the energy at night or when it is cloudy, acid batteries are the most common storage devices used with PV systems. The stronger the sunlight, the more power is generated. Sunlight is free, you only pay for installation and your electricity costs will be …show more content…
They have efficiency of up to 83% HHV (higher heating value). Advanced combustion woodstoves provide a lot of heat but often only work efficiently when the fire burns at full throttle. Also known as secondary burn stoves, they can achieve temperatures of 1,100°F. Today you can browse from a new generation of wood- and pellet-burning appliances that are cleaner consuming, more effective, efficient, and sufficiently capable to warm many average-sized, modern homes. Pellet fuel appliances burn small pellets that measure 3/8 to 1 inch in length. When choosing a wood- or pellet-burning appliance, it is vital to choose one that is legitimately estimated for the space to be warmed. When an appliance is too big, residents tend to burn fires at a low smolder to avoid overheating, which wastes fuel and is one of the biggest causes of air contamination. An under-sized unit will not give adequate warmth.
A solar cooker is a device which uses the energy of direct sunlight to heat, cook or warm up drinks. Solar cookers can be differentiated into five distinct types; Box solar cooker, it is used to warm food and drinks. Panel solar cookers, they use reflective panels to heat up a cooking pot enclosed in a plastic bag. Solar kettles, they are used to heat up water, they heat up to 220°C. Parabolic solar cookers, they are able to reach high temperatures, but require supervision. Hybrid cookers, they use solar heat and electric energy
