With the current concern about the planets' dwindling energy sources, alternative sources of power are becoming more and more popular. Solar power is an obvious source of energy, because the sun is a massive star giving off electromagnetic energy to the Earth in the form of radiation. On average, when the sun is shining on to the Earth, one square meter of ground receives enough energy to power fourteen 100 Watt light bulbs every second.

The sun is a completely renewable energy source, unlike the source which is probably currently supplying you with power. With the technology of solar panels, we have learned to harness this power and store it so that it can be used when we need it. Solar power gives us more freedom because it allows us to harness power in remote locations that are not necessarily near an electrical power grid. Another advantage is that solar cells are completely silent, so there is no noise pollution such as from humming power lines or loud oil pumps. Solar energy is clean and abundant, and although it might be expensive to initially invest in solar panels, getting energy from the sun is much cheaper in the long run.

You can purchase solar panels for just about any purpose. They come in many different shapes and sizes and designs and are relatively easy to install and operate. Once installed, they require very little maintenance and have no moving parts that need to be fixed or replaced. For this reason, solar cells can last a long time.

Why not try installing some solar panels in your home to reduce your energy bill? Another adventurous idea is to outfit your caravan with solar energy! A solar panel can supply all the lighting, water heating, cooking and cleaning needs for your caravan. You can install them yourself, or invite friends and family to help you out. Get a manual that will instruct you step by step in great detail and the average caravan owner should be able to figure out how to install them. The entire project won't take more than a weekend, and the benefits will last much longer than that. The money that you save on electricity bills for your caravan will be substantial.

As you ramble on in your travels, you will know that you are helping the earth by using a renewable and non-polluting form of energy to power your adventures.

Also, when your caravan is outfitted with portable solar energy, you are free to roam wherever you want and are no longer limited to holiday locations where you have access to electricity. You are now officially "off the grid" and completely free!
