Solar Home Systems

Many people don't realize that the electricity we consume in our houses represents almost 15% of the US total greenhouse gas emissions. This is because most U.S. homes get electricity from a utility, which gets 70% of its power from dirty fossil fuels, such as coal, gas, and oil. Burning fossil fuels releases toxic emissions, such as nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and heavy metals like mercury. When you turn on your TV or your lights, you are contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

By installing a home solar power system with Tergeo , you cut greenhouse gas emissions and help fight global warming. Solar energy is a dependable and renewable resource, unlike fossil fuels which are expensive and running out.

A Solar Home System uses a photovoltaic module to provide power for lights and small appliances. The system also needs a rechargeable battery, so that power is still available at night and on cloudy days.

Solar Home Systems bring huge benefits to homes in developing countries which aren't connected to the mains electricity grid. They replace smoky, unsafe kerosene lamps with brighter light, allowing work, study and social activities after dark. Solar on an average 3-bedroom home can offset over 80,000 lbs of carbon dioxide over 15 years. This is the same as not driving 100,000 miles, planting almost 200 trees, or saving 30,000 gallons of water - enough to fill 3 average size swimming pools.
