It is imperative that each one contribute, as far as possible, actions that are aligned with energy saving and the use of renewable energy. Climate change is an unquestionable fact and everyone, private and public agents, as well as ordinary citizens, must contribute to slowing down the process. Because what planet do we want to leave our children?
Therefore, it is convenient to know what types of renewable energy are the ones that we can use at home. We may even be able to afford some of them, but, due to ignorance, we do not have them contemplated. These are the most common.
Undoubtedly, one of the most common, especially if we are lucky enough to own a house (or second residence) with a roof. Solar panels can be expensive, but right now the system of self-supply and redistribution of excess energy means that many people can save a good amount of euros on their bills. Because whoever has a solar panel is not limited to consuming the energy that he produces, but rather contributes to other people with what is left over.
Today, many companies such as Iberdrola or Holaluz offer estimates without obligation and take care of all the paperwork, as well as possible access to subsidies. It is easier than ever to have solar panels and consume clean and green energy.
No, we are not going to convince you to put a gigantic turbine in the patio: hence the name 'Mini wind energy'. It is about the implementation of wind turbines with a power of less than 100 kW and they are, of course, much smaller than those we see on the road. To place a mini wind turbine you need to have permission from your municipality, from the neighborhood community if applicable, have a space that provides the appropriate characteristics: very important, of course, the wind: in this link we can see the Iberian Wind Map, which It tells us the wind speed in Spain from the data collected in the last 32 decades.
Biomass or bioenergy is obtained from organic matter residues produced in agricultural, forestry and agri-food activities. Biomass is used to produce heat and electricity. In homes we can have stoves or boilers fed with biomass: we must take into account whether or not it has an attached tank (with the material with which we will feed the boiler) and have enough space for its installation.
