AND FINALLY, USE TECHNOLOGY

Mass production and an international acceptance towards solar cells have also seen their prices drop—returns on investment for solar panels now fall within 10 years. So not only do you make up for your investment within a decade, you also reduce the reliance of your home on fossil fuels. Present-day technology allows for our homes to be “smart”—it knows when we’re out so the home can power down, it lowers the blinds when it’s hot outside, and it makes it simple to monitor our energy usage at home. The appropriate application and usage of such systems can indeed reduce your electricity usage even further, and in turn, reduce your carbon footprint.”
