Many U.S. consumers buy electricity made from renewable energy sources like the sun, wind, water, plants, and the Earth’s internal heat.
This power is sometimes called “green power.” Buying green power from the utility is one of the easiest ways to use renewable energy without having to invest in equipment or take on extra maintenance. A new home provides the best opportunity for designing and orienting the home to take advantage of the sun’s rays. A well-oriented home admits low-angle winter sun to reduce heating bills and rejects overhead summer sun to reduce cooling bills by utilizing passive solar energy in your home.
