Green Energy Society

Renewable Green Energy

Green Energy Society is focused on the fact that our modern society can not sustain its' current level of resource use and survive. With the population in the billions, and the current shortages of fossil fuel, water and food, we must take action now.

Here in the United States, we have the right to either "choose" to go green, or "choose not to" go green. If the majority continue to choose to not go green, I am afraid that the result will not be a pretty picture. Great wars between Nations attempting to secure what is left of the limited resources will occur more often. As resources dwindle it will lead to the modern machine breakdown. Where will the Farmers get the needed resources to plant and harvest the food we need?

The summer of 2008 completely changed my view about "Green Energy". That's the summer me and my brother made a decision to leave society and head for the remote desert with solar panels in hand.

If I had to choose one single word to describe this experience, it would have to be; wild. Green energy was our only alternative for power because we were so remote that there were no power lines. One reason for the need to have power was my brother was working on the translation of an old manuscript and needed to run his laptop.

We were dropped off by another party who was to return in a few days, by then we would have made a list of anything we may have forgotten for the solar energy system, etc. However, we ran into one really big problem, the other party left us stranded there in the desert for almost a month.

If the party had returned, one of the first things we were going to do was pick up the materials to build a 12' x 12' shelter in order to get out of the scorching Sun. The materials we did have were for constructing a mount for the solar panel array. It didn't take too long to decide that what little building material we did have, were going to be used for a shelter. It wasn't much, just a few 2' x 4's wrapped in plastic tarps that beat your eardrums to death when the winds blew.

I shared this experience with you to show you that we must all pay for the choices we make in life. Me and my Brother chose to depend on a person who's personal nature is greed and self centeredness; it almost cost us our lives. If we as a people continue to make the decision to use up all of our natural resources, we as a whole, will also pay for this decision. 

One reason I created this Green Energy site is to help others avoid the problems we encountered with our Solar Panel installation, another reason is to share my knowledge about all areas of Green Energy. Be sure to visit the learn about links in the site navigation.

The most important part of this site is the list of Renewable Green Energy Products. The biggest issue we had was finding quality solar products that were affordable. I couldn't believe how many websites had the same product but such a huge price difference. The small solar system we finally put together ranged in price from $5500.00 up to $8200.00 for identical solar products. We also ran across a problem where a product may have been a little cheaper from one source, but they inflated the shipping cost, making the cheaper product more expensive than the ones that had a higher retail with lower shipping.

I have always prided myself with my ability to find the best prices on the Internet. This is really a skill that has grown over a period of many years. Believe me, sometimes the information I expose brings along with it a few enemies. These are the guys making a small fortune on just one sale, most of them do not like it when someone exposes the cheaper source.

Be patient as I continue to complete the site, bookmark this Green Energy site and check back often for my updated pages. At the moment the products you will find in my product listings are; charge controllers, inverters, portable solar, solar panels and RV. The other solar and wind products will be added shortly.
