A Dozen Interesting or Amusing Facts About Renewable Energy

1. Solar Energy Expansion: The solar industry has grown exponentially in recent years. In 2019, the U.S. installed 13.3 gigawatts of solar capacity, enough to power 2.5 million average American homes. (Source: Solar Energy Industries Association)

2. Wind Energy Milestones: In 2020, wind power in the United States surpassed hydroelectric generation for the first time, becoming the largest renewable energy source by capacity. (Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration)

3. Hydropower Legacy: Hydropower is the largest renewable energy source for electricity generation globally, providing about 17% of the world’s electricity. (Source: International Energy Agency)

4. Geothermal Efficiency: Geothermal energy is not only renewable but also incredibly efficient. Geothermal power plants typically have an efficiency of 90% or higher, compared to about 33% for coal plants. (Source: U.S. Department of Energy)

5. Bioenergy Contribution: Biomass and biofuels provide about 10% of the world’s primary energy supply. These renewable sources can be derived from agricultural residues, wood, organic waste, and dedicated energy crops. (Source: International Renewable Energy Agency)

6. Tidal Energy Potential: The power of the tides holds significant energy potential. A single tidal turbine can generate enough electricity to power around 1,000 homes. (Source: RenewableUK)

7. SolarPowered Beer: The Sünner brewery in Cologne, Germany, has been producing beer using solar energy since 2012. Their solar panels generate enough electricity to power the brewery’s operations, making their beer production process not only environmentally friendly but also deliciously sustainable. (Source: [Deutsche Welle](https://www.dw.com/en/german-brewery-brews-beer-with-solar-energy/a-15943676))

8. Floating Solar Farms: In places where land is scarce, floating solar farms have emerged as a creative solution. Countries like Japan and China have been leading the way in implementing these innovative solar arrays, which are installed on bodies of water such as lakes, reservoirs, and even the sea. They not only generate clean energy but also help reduce water evaporation and algae growth. (Source: [National Geographic](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/floating-solar-panels-china))

9. Energy-Producing Dance Floors: Dance clubs in cities like Rotterdam and London are harnessing the power of kinetic energy generated by dancers to produce electricity. Special floor panels installed on dance floors convert the movement of dancers into electrical energy, which is then used to power the club’s lighting and sound systems. It’s a fun and sustainable way to keep the party going all night long. (Source: [Fast Company](https://www.fastcompany.com/3061385/this-dance-floor-generates-electricity-every-time-you-bust-a-move))

10. Cow Power: In Vermont, USA, dairy farms are turning cow manure into renewable energy through a process called anaerobic digestion. Methane gas produced from decomposing manure is captured and used to generate electricity, providing power to homes and businesses in the region. This “cow power” initiative not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also helps farmers diversify their income streams. (Source: [Grist](https://grist.org/climate-energy/vermonts-new-fuel-cow-power/))

11. Wind-Powered Ice Cream: The Ben & Jerry’s ice cream factory in the Netherlands runs on 100% renewable energy, with a significant portion of its power coming from nearby wind turbines. This means that every scoop of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream produced in the Netherlands is made using wind energy, giving customers a sweet reason to feel good about their dessert choice. (Source: [Ben & Jerry’s](https://www.benjerry.nl/windenergie))

12. Renewable Energy Islands: The small island nation of Tokelau, located in the South Pacific, has achieved 100% renewable energy reliance. With solar panels installed on rooftops across the islands, Tokelau’s residents enjoy a constant and sustainable source of electricity, eliminating the need for imported fossil fuels. It’s a shining example of how remote communities can lead the way in renewable energy adoption. (Source: [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/oct/10/south-pacific-islands-solar-power))

These facts highlight the remarkable growth, efficiency, and potential of renewable energy sources, showcasing their rôle in the global energy landscape.

1. Converting Your Home Into A Solar Home

When it comes to converting your home into a solar home, there are several options, because not all homes have the same problems, the same requirements or the same potential sustainable power sources. Therefore, if you are going to try a total conversion or even get off the grid entirely, you will either need to do some research or call in an expert to make a survey for you.

If you call in an expert, try to get an independent one, so that you can work out the costs of fulfilling your energy needs yourself. You will have to pay for such a survey, naturally, but you could carry out a report yourself with a bit of work on your behalf. In order to produce a solar home, you may find the rest of this article interesting.
