There are a few simple ways to increase your home's value without spending too much money. While you may not have the money to purchase a full-sized home solar power system, there are some things you can add to your home's outdoor décor to take advantage of solar technology. Most of these solutions cost less than $1000 and work just as well as their electric counterparts.

An outdoor lighting system is an easy way to add distinction to your home without breaking the bank. Before 2001, most outdoor lighting systems were powered by electricity running through a small outdoor circuit. With the improvement of small solar cells, a new wave of solar-powered outdoor lighting solutions became available to homeowners. Every summer they get better. These days, you can choose from hundreds of outdoor solar lighting designs. They come in inexpensive plastic to high-quality metal designs. They come in many lighting option, from small pathway lights to large feature lighting. You can even get these solar lights in different colors, from amber to blue LED.

A great product that's easy to use is the outdoor security light. These handy units come with a separate solar panel you place in the sun (or stick on your roof). You can mount the light fixture anywhere, including in the shade, as long as you have the panel in sunlight. A thin wire connects the two separate units. These units are great for older homes that have no outside wiring, or for homes in which wiring would be too difficult or expensive.

Many upscale homes have fountains or ponds in their front and back yards. Usually, fountains and ponds use pumps that consume a lot of energy. A standard pond pump can use 2-3 kWh a day! Nowadays, you can choose solar-powered pumps that perform just as well as any pond or fountain pump. Specially-designed pond pumps even come equipped with batteries that allow them to continue water movement, even at night. These pumps are wonderful alternatives to expensive pumps that cost a lot to buy and run on a daily basis.

Another tool that's making a scene this summer is the solar-powered lawn mower. Over the past few years, this concept has been perfected and changed as solar technology gets better. There are several websites and manuals on turning a gas mower into a solar mower. This becomes unnecessary this summer as the Solaris 24V Self-Propelled Lawn Mower becomes readily available in North America in 2009. This unit can mow 7500 - 10000 square feet in one charge, has minimal noise pollution and can be recharged in three days. If you have an extra large backyard, you can buy two sets of batteries and charge each one to cut nearly 2 acres!

Until you can get a full residential solar power system, you should look into these easy to use inexpensive solar alternatives. You'll cut your electric bill during those hot summer months, and you'll be making a positive impact on the global environment.
