Energy-Efficient Homes Using Solar Panels & Hydrogen
Energy-Efficient Homes Using Solar Panels & Hydrogen
Came across an interesting news post @ CBS News on a pioneering energy efficient home. Well, it isn't for the common me and you yet ( at the half a million price tag that the infrastructure costs), but the report says such a thing could be affordable soon.
The report is about Mike Strizki, who lives in a 3,500 square foot home in New Jersey - powered by "Solar Hydrogen" energy.
When the sun comes up, his solar panels soak it up. Whatever isn't used is converted into hydrogen gas, which gets turned into electricity once the sun goes down. The system is enough to power his entire home and produces no emissions. His utility bills are zero.
As mentioned above, what Mike is using today cannot be used by you and me at the prohibitive price tag, but the future may be a little closer than you think. Strizki's working on mass-producing his home energy system, which would bring the cost down to around $60,000.
