Oct. 31 -- Tesla unveiled its first ever solar product at an event at Universal Studios in Los Angeles on October 29, 2016. And it's not a solar panel - it's a range of four solar roofing materials that look almost indistinguishable from high-end terracotta, slate, or asphalt shingles. Bloomberg's Tom Randall explains why Tesla wants a solar-powered trifecta.

http://www.mysolarrevolution.com/ What are the advantages and disadvantages of changing over to solar power in your home or office? How much does it cost and how does it work?
I often hear people say that buying solar panels is a waste of money that never realizes an ROI. What people don't know is that it's possible to install a home solar power system for literally ZERO down and you can immediately see a drop in your overall utility bills.
According to UCSUSA (http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_energy/our-energy-choices/renewable-energy/solar-power-technologies-and-policies.html), "Solar power – clean, reliable, and increasingly affordable – is experiencing remarkable growth across the U.S."
If you own your home, have a roof in good condition, and have an electric bill of over $100 / month, then you most likely qualify to have solar panels purchased and installed for ZERO dollars down.
Here's how it works...
Go to MySolarRevolution.com and get a free quote. You will need to submit a copy of your utility bill so calculations can be made on how many solar panels you would require on your house. You will then receive detailed information on how much money you will save monthly after the solar panels are installed and your payments for the solar panels begin.
This is an example that is given in the video. Obviously these figures will vary depending on the size of your house and your energy usage.
Your current monthly electric bill: $240
Your future monthly electric bill after panels installed: $20
Your future monthly finance bill for the solar panels: $130
Old monthly payment of $240 vs. new payment of $150 (and actually OWNING the panels).
Once you dig into the numbers, it truly makes financial sense to go solar!

Gabriel Parent-Leblanc heats his tiny house with an awesome solar air heater. He built his tiny house to prove it was possible to live in a tiny house year round in a northern climate. Not only did he succeed (he's been living in it for almost 2 years) but he also has one of the smallest heating bills I've ever seen. In the winter of 2014/2015, which was one of the coldest in the last 100 years, he spent only $100 on heat thanks to his solar air heater panel which provided the bulk of his heat during the day.
Gabriel built his own tiny house with the help of friends and also started the first tiny house company in Quebec, Canada: Habitations MicroÉvolution:
http://www.habitationsmicro.com/
The solar air heater he uses is distributed by EcoSolaris and they're planning to release a new and improved model very soon (we filmed a video about it for you, coming soon!):
http://www.ecosolaris.ca/en/products_and_services/solar-air-heating-system.php
At night, Gabriel uses an electric heater that is plugged into an energy meter to track how much energy he uses for heat. This isn't the exact meter he used but it was something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/UPM-Marketing-EM100-Energy-Display/dp/B000RKVK52
His tiny house design was focussed on creating a spacious and comfortable living room with a massive u-shaped sitting area that has the option to put up a table up to make it a dinette, or put down the table to make it an extra bed.
He's also got a galley kitchen, a sleeping loft, storage loft, and small bathroom with a shower and composting toilet.
The fact that Gabriel's house is run almost completely on solar power is pretty impressive. He's got 750 Watts on his roof that power the lights, fridge, water pump, and all of his electrical outlets; and his solar air heating panel provides a lot of his heating needs.
While he is living almost completely off grid in a suburb of Montreal, one thing Gabriel does find challenging is his small water tank. It only holds 100 litres so he often has to re-fill it with a hose. With his metal roof he could probably install a rainwater catchment system to provide some of his water needs.
You can find out more about Gabriel's tiny house business and his workshops here:
http://www.habitationsmicro.com/en/produit/tiny-house-workshop-presentations/
You can also follow Gabriel on YouTube:

8 Pros & Cons of buying Solar panels
According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) The US total installed Solar capacity grow to 35.8 gigawatts enough to power 6.5 million homes since prices has gone down it became viable option to purchase.
Hi My name is Ali Al-Asady I am real estate agent, where my eco friendly homes is not only my Passion but it is also my profession.
Today I share with you 8 pros and cons of owning a solar panels on your roof
Pro
Clean Energy Generated from the sun
Con
Solar Panels will not produce energy at night
Pro
Your solar panel may produce more power than you can use, which you can sell to the utility company and feed the grid it also called net metering.
Con
Utility company will purchase your access power at a wholesale price, Also you will have to pay services so long you are connected to the grid
Pro
You maybe able to became independent from the Grid
Con
With few exceptions , storing electricity option is not widely available, take a look Tesla’s batteries
Pro
Solar Panel Prices has gone down tremendously, and you have many brands to choose from
Con
It is investment, or something you have to budget for and come up with a lump sum upfront
Pro
There are incentives and rebates
Con
Rebates are subject to change like the 30% Federal Tax Credit expiring soon
Check the link below for updated incentive
Pro
You own the solar panels free and clear
Con
You own the maintenance as well, solar panel performance could be affected by dust, lighting and shades. Confirm what the warranty cover before purchasing
Pro
Owned Solar Panels will increase your house value when selling
Con
Most Real Estate agent has not caught with this fast growing market, therefore they do not know how to convey or justify the additional value or even ask for it.
Pro
A trained appraisal will consider your solar panels and give it additional value based on a special calculation and formula.
Con
Only few appraisals took the time, energy and money to increase their knowledge and learn how to evaluate Solar Powered Home, untrained appraisals will suggest that the home has no additional value, simple because they do not know how calculate it!
This was my quick 8 pros and cons of owning a solar Panel ,can you think of any other pros and cons ? Please include it in the comment below, please like share and subscribe
Until next video thank you for watching

This video discusses one of the most common questions we get, “how much solar do I need for my square footage house”. We explain why square footage is not the best way to determine your solar requirements, your electric bill is. Different building designs, environmental conditions, and family power use all contribute to the answer.

House
A house is a building that functions as a home, ranging from simple dwellings such as rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes and the improvised shacks in shantytowns to complex, fixed structures of wood, brick, marble or other materials containing plumbing, ventilation and electrical systems. Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will contain a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domestic animals such as chickens or larger livestock (like cattle) may share part of the house with humans. The social unit that lives in a house is known as a household. Most commonly, a household is a family unit of some kind, although households may also be other social groups or individuals. The design and structure of the house is also subject to change as a consequence of globalization, urbanization and other social, economic, demographic, and technological reasons. Various other cultural factors also influence the building style and patterns of domestic space.

Solar power
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect.
The International Energy Agency projected in 2014 that under its "high renewables" scenario, by 2050, solar photovoltaics and concentrated solar power would contribute about 16 and 11 percent, respectively, of the worldwide electricity consumption, and solar would be the world's largest source of electricity. Most solar installations would be in China and India.
Photovoltaics were initially solely used as a source of electricity for small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to remote homes powered by an off-grid rooftop PV system. As the cost of solar electricity has fallen, the number of grid-connected solar PV systems has grown into the millions and utility-scale solar power stations with hundreds of megawatts are being built. Solar PV is rapidly becoming an inexpensive, low-carbon technology to harness renewable energy from the Sun.

Solar panel
Solar panel refers to a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity or heating.
A photovoltaic (in short PV) module is a packaged, connected assembly of typically 6×10 solar cells. Solar Photovoltaic panels constitute the solar array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 365 watts. The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated output – an 8% efficient 230 watt module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt module. There are a few solar panels available that are exceeding 19% efficiency. A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of power; most installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes a panel or an array of solar modules, a solar inverter, and sometimes a battery and/or solar tracker and interconnection wiring.

7:24Living in a Tiny House Heated with FREE Solar Power in Canada
Living in a Tiny House Heated with FREE Solar Power in CanadaLiving in a Tiny House Heated with FREE Solar Power in Canada
Gabriel Parent-Leblanc heats his tiny house with an awesome solar air heater. He built his tiny house to prove it was possible to live in a tiny house year round in a northern climate. Not only did he succeed (he's been living in it for almost 2 years) but he also has one of the smallest heating bills I've ever seen. In the winter of 2014/2015, which was one of the coldest in the last 100 years, he spent only $100 on heat thanks to his solar air heater panel which provided the bulk of his heat during the day. Gabriel built his own tiny house with the help of friends and also started the first tiny house company in Quebec, Canada: Habitations MicroÉvolution: http://www.habitationsmicro.com/ The solar air heater he uses is distributed by EcoSolaris and they're planning to release a new and improved model very soon (we filmed a video about it for you, coming soon!): http://www.ecosolaris.ca/en/products_and_services/solar-air-heating-system.php At night, Gabriel uses an electric heater that is plugged into an energy meter to track how much energy he uses for heat. This isn't the exact meter he used but it was something like this: https://www.amazon.com/UPM-Marketing-EM100-Energy-Display/dp/B000RKVK52 His tiny house design was focussed on creating a spacious and comfortable living room with a massive u-shaped sitting area that has the option to put up a table up to make it a dinette, or put down the table to make it an extra bed. He's also got a galley kitchen, a sleeping loft, storage loft, and small bathroom with a shower and composting toilet. The fact that Gabriel's house is run almost completely on solar power is pretty impressive. He's got 750 Watts on his roof that power the lights, fridge, water pump, and all of his electrical outlets; and his solar air heating panel provides a lot of his heating needs. While he is living almost completely off grid in a suburb of Montreal, one thing Gabriel does find challenging is his small water tank. It only holds 100 litres so he often has to re-fill it with a hose. With his metal roof he could probably install a rainwater catchment system to provide some of his water needs. You can find out more about Gabriel's tiny house business and his workshops here: http://www.habitationsmicro.com/en/produit/tiny-house-workshop-presentations/ You can also follow Gabriel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ExGqlPYJSdwnsqSuGTnJA For anyone interested in the products Gabriel mentioned in the video (his trailer, the vertical planter, tiny house plans, natural wood oil), check out his store here: http://www.habitationsmicro.com/en/boutique/ Thanks for watching!

Free Guide visit : WWW.PhoenixGreenHomeConcepts.com Renewable inventive http://www.dsireusa.org/ 8 Pros & Cons of buying Solar panels According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) The US total installed Solar capacity grow to 35.8 gigawatts enough to power 6.5 million homes since prices has gone down it became viable option to purchase. Hi My name is Ali Al-Asady I am real estate agent, where my eco friendly homes is not only my Passion but it is also my profession. Today I share with you 8 pros and cons of owning a solar panels on your roof Pro Clean Energy Generated from the sun Con Solar Panels will not produce energy at night Pro Your solar panel may produce more power than you can use, which you can sell to the utility company and feed the grid it also called net metering. Con Utility company will purchase your access power at a wholesale price, Also you will have to pay services so long you are connected to the grid Pro You maybe able to became independent from the Grid Con With few exceptions , storing electricity option is not widely available, take a look Tesla’s batteries Pro Solar Panel Prices has gone down tremendously, and you have many brands to choose from Con It is investment, or something you have to budget for and come up with a lump sum upfront Pro There are incentives and rebates Con Rebates are subject to change like the 30% Federal Tax Credit expiring soon Check the link below for updated incentive Pro You own the solar panels free and clear Con You own the maintenance as well, solar panel performance could be affected by dust, lighting and shades. Confirm what the warranty cover before purchasing Pro Owned Solar Panels will increase your house value when selling Con Most Real Estate agent has not caught with this fast growing market, therefore they do not know how to convey or justify the additional value or even ask for it. Pro A trained appraisal will consider your solar panels and give it additional value based on a special calculation and formula. Con Only few appraisals took the time, energy and money to increase their knowledge and learn how to evaluate Solar Powered Home, untrained appraisals will suggest that the home has no additional value, simple because they do not know how calculate it!

If you own your home, have a roof in good condition, and have an electric bill of over $100 / month, then you most likely qualify to have solar panels purchased and installed for ZERO dollars down.
Here's how it works...
Go to MySolarRevolution.com and get a free quote. You will need to submit a copy of your utility bill so calculations can be made on how many solar panels you would require on your house. You will then receive detailed information on how much money you will save monthly after the solar panels are installed and your payments for the solar panels begin.
This is an example that is given in the video. Obviously these figures will vary depending on the size of your house and your energy usage.
Your current monthly electric bill: $240
Your future monthly electric bill after panels installed: $20
Your future monthly finance bill for the solar panels: $130
Old monthly payment of $240 vs. new payment of $150 (and actually OWNING the panels).
Once you dig into the numbers, it truly makes financial sense to go solar!

Gabriel Parent-Leblanc heats his tiny house with an awesome solar air heater. He built his tiny house to prove it was possible to live in a tiny house year round in a northern climate. Not only did he succeed (he's been living in it for almost 2 years) but he also has one of the smallest heating bills I've ever seen. In the winter of 2014/2015, which was one of the coldest in the last 100 years, he spent only $100 on heat thanks to his solar air heater panel which provided the bulk of his heat during the day.
Gabriel built his own tiny house with the help of friends and also started the first tiny house company in Quebec, Canada: Habitations MicroÉvolution:
http://www.habitationsmicro.com/
The solar air heater he uses is distributed by EcoSolaris and they're planning to release a new and improved model very soon (we filmed a video about it for you, coming soon!):
http://www.ecosolaris.ca/en/products_and_services/solar-air-heating-system.php
At night, Gabriel uses an electric heater that is plugged into an energy meter to track how much energy he uses for heat. This isn't the exact meter he used but it was something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/UPM-Marketing-EM100-Energy-Display/dp/B000RKVK52
His tiny house design was focussed on creating a spacious and comfortable living room with a massive u-shaped sitting area that has the option to put up a table up to make it a dinette, or put down the table to make it an extra bed.
He's also got a galley kitchen, a sleeping loft, storage loft, and small bathroom with a shower and composting toilet.
The fact that Gabriel's house is run almost completely on solar power is pretty impressive. He's got 750 Watts on his roof that power the lights, fridge, water pump, and all of his electrical outlets; and his solar air heating panel provides a lot of his heating needs.
While he is living almost completely off grid in a suburb of Montreal, one thing Gabriel does find challenging is his small water tank. It only holds 100 litres so he often has to re-fill it with a hose. With his metal roof he could probably install a rainwater catchment system to provide some of his water needs.

Tesla Just Unveiled New Rooftop Solar Cells That Look Like Regular Shingles
Oct. 31 -- Tesla unveiled its first ever solar product at an event at Universal Studios in Los Angeles on October 29, 2016.

Bloomberg's Tom Randall explains why Tesla wants a solar-powered trifecta.

Oct. 31 -- Tesla unveiled its first ever solar product at an event at Universal Studios in Los Angeles on October 29, 2016. And it's not a solar panel - it's a range of four solar roofing materials that look almost indistinguishable from high-end terracotta, slate, or asphalt shingles. Bloomberg's Tom Randall explains why Tesla wants a solar-powered trifecta.

http://www.mysolarrevolution.com/ What are the advantages and disadvantages of changing over to solar power in your home or office? How much does it cost and how does it work?
I often hear people say that buying solar panels is a waste of money that never realizes an ROI. What people don't know is that it's possible to install a home solar power system for literally ZERO down and you can immediately see a drop in your overall utility bills.
According to UCSUSA (http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_energy/our-energy-choices/renewable-energy/solar-power-technologies-and-policies.html), "Solar power – clean, reliable, and increasingly affordable – is experiencing remarkable growth across the U.S."
If you own your home, have a roof in good condition, and have an electric bill of over $100 / month, then you most likely qualify to have solar panels purchased and installed for ZERO dollars down.
Here's how it works...
Go to MySolarRevolution.com and get a free quote. You will need to submit a copy of your utility bill so calculations can be made on how many solar panels you would require on your house. You will then receive detailed information on how much money you will save monthly after the solar panels are installed and your payments for the solar panels begin.
This is an example that is given in the video. Obviously these figures will vary depending on the size of your house and your energy usage.
Your current monthly electric bill: $240
Your future monthly electric bill after panels installed: $20
Your future monthly finance bill for the solar panels: $130
Old monthly payment of $240 vs. new payment of $150 (and actually OWNING the panels).
Once you dig into the numbers, it truly makes financial sense to go solar!

Gabriel Parent-Leblanc heats his tiny house with an awesome solar air heater. He built his tiny house to prove it was possible to live in a tiny house year round in a northern climate. Not only did he succeed (he's been living in it for almost 2 years) but he also has one of the smallest heating bills I've ever seen. In the winter of 2014/2015, which was one of the coldest in the last 100 years, he spent only $100 on heat thanks to his solar air heater panel which provided the bulk of his heat during the day.
Gabriel built his own tiny house with the help of friends and also started the first tiny house company in Quebec, Canada: Habitations MicroÉvolution:
http://www.habitationsmicro.com/
The solar air heater he uses is distributed by EcoSolaris and they're planning to release a new and improved model very soon (we filmed a video about it for you, coming soon!):
http://www.ecosolaris.ca/en/products_and_services/solar-air-heating-system.php
At night, Gabriel uses an electric heater that is plugged into an energy meter to track how much energy he uses for heat. This isn't the exact meter he used but it was something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/UPM-Marketing-EM100-Energy-Display/dp/B000RKVK52
His tiny house design was focussed on creating a spacious and comfortable living room with a massive u-shaped sitting area that has the option to put up a table up to make it a dinette, or put down the table to make it an extra bed.
He's also got a galley kitchen, a sleeping loft, storage loft, and small bathroom with a shower and composting toilet.
The fact that Gabriel's house is run almost completely on solar power is pretty impressive. He's got 750 Watts on his roof that power the lights, fridge, water pump, and all of his electrical outlets; and his solar air heating panel provides a lot of his heating needs.
While he is living almost completely off grid in a suburb of Montreal, one thing Gabriel does find challenging is his small water tank. It only holds 100 litres so he often has to re-fill it with a hose. With his metal roof he could probably install a rainwater catchment system to provide some of his water needs.

Renewable Apartment - How I installed a Solar Panel in my bedroom window
It is unusual to install a solar panel in a window. It is not the most ideal location but if you are limited on options then this may be the way to go. Keep in mind that you may not get the full output of the rate of the panel. Seek a qualified electrician if you are unsure what you are doing. Also make sure you are allowed to install this in your building if you do not own it. I will not be responsible if you break your windows, hurt or kill yourself or someone else in the process. Never leave an open window untended. Music: http://www.purple-planet.com

Idaho modern oldtimer builds underground & solar $50 houses
Mike Oehler lived for over 30 years in an underground home that he built for $50 (and expanded for $500) on his land in Northern Idaho near the Canadian border. Now in his seventies his arthritis keeps him from hiking up to his home, but he continues to “write and proselytize” In 1968 like thousands of other San Franciscans hoping to go “back to the land”, Oehler bought property and began to build a homestead. After spending a winter freezing in a small cabin, he designed a home that would use the earth as insulation. With his first attempt he fell into the easy errors of what he calls a “first thought house”: a hole cut into a hillside with south-facing windows. Gradually he began to innovate with subterranean design, creating better ways for letting light in: among them “the Hollywood ...

Los Angeles, the so-called "horizontal city". Two hours' drive from the city center is an old military airport, the venue of the Solar Decathlon. It is the world's most demanding and important competition for sustainable construction, an olympic decathlon for innovative solar houses the americans won't miss.
What you will see here is truly futuristic: homes where certain components are able to move apart on tracks, homes that look like a metal shed or haybarn and still are masterpieces of technology. 300.000 visitors come to get a glimpse into future living.

Mike Oehler lived for over 30 years in an underground home that he built for $50 (and expanded for $500) on his land in Northern Idaho near the Canadian border. Now in his seventies his arthritis keeps him from hiking up to his home, but he continues to “write and proselytize”
In 1968 like thousands of other San Franciscans hoping to go “back to the land”, Oehler bought property and began to build a homestead. After spending a winter freezing in a small cabin, he designed a home that would use the earth as insulation. With his first attempt he fell into the easy errors of what he calls a “first thought house”: a hole cut into a hillside with south-facing windows.
Gradually he began to innovate with subterranean design, creating better ways for letting light in: among them “the Hollywood Wing”, “the Royer foyer”, gables and most-importantly the “uphill patio” (which also provides space for an earth-sheltered greenhouse). He also created an inexpensive, low-tech approach to basic design with what he calls PSP or Post/shoring/polyethlene.

Your House
I walked slowly at first
Tried now to break into a run
I knew that was your house
At the end of the road
With one tree at the side
How I wished that I could have it
But hey this is crazy
When after all it's only your house
I came back 'til next time
Drove by some strange magnetic pole
Was just brick and molding
But you might be inside
What if you should see me here
That won't do, I'll dissapear
I know this is crazy
'Cause after all it's only your house
I got the number from a friend
Of a friend of a friend
He told me which street it was
And said that he lived near here
I only saw you that one time
That permanent breath on you sometimes
Now here I am making a fool of myself
Why am I so rude at first
It's only your house
I won't be back again
Don't want you thinking I'm some creepy guy
If I were to meet you what could I really say
You'd think I was insane
I don't even know your name
But hey this is crazy
When after all it's only your house
Look I know this is crazy
