		<description><![CDATA[Passive solar technology is simply a set of techniques for using sunlight for useful energy without the use of any active mechanical systems.  These methods convert sunlight into usable heat (passive solar heating &#8212; hot water, warm air, and heat stored in thermal mass), cause air-movement for ventilation, and store heat for future use.  Passive [...]

		<description><![CDATA[We often think that modern societies were the first to use solar energy. Not true! Early cave dwellers preferred caves that had openings facing southeasterly that allowed the morning sun to warm them up without overheating in the warm months.  Native Americans in the Southwest oriented their pueblo dwellings.  So the low winter sun would [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Solar energy is a term that refers to the direct use of sunlight to produce heat or electric power.  The sun&#8217;s energy is plentiful, but it is thinly distributed over a large area. It must be collected and concentrated in order to produce usable power. The amount of solar radiation per unit of flat area [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Living off the grid doesn&#8217;t mean you have to live like in the 15th century, doing everything with your own hands. Much of typical house work is done today by some appliances. If you want to live off-grid, you probably don&#8217;t want to get rid of those appliances. So what should you do?
If you&#8217;re building [...]

		<description><![CDATA[If you want power your off-grid home by yourself, you need to look at this idea on three levels:

producing the energy in any source,
reducing the energy use,
storing it for future when supply exceeds demand.

There are only two ways to deal with this problem with one simple solution. But none of them is a good one.
The [...]

		<description><![CDATA[This is the first post in a series of how to live off the electrical grid. In the series I will answer the following questions:

how to make electric energy from various sources (photovoltaics, wind turbines, internal combustion engines, fuel cells, etc.),
how to store electricity to use it later,
how to save electricity, in order to reduce [...]
