Using an alternative energy source in your home can have a lot of advantages. First of all, this type of energy is much cheaper as you’ll make use of a natural resource. Second of all, you will help the environment by living a more sustainable life and reducing your CO2 imprint on the planet. So did you know that you can make your own distilled water by using solar power? The water you will get this way is more pure and healthier and you can use it for several things in your household. To purify your own water, you’ll need to make a solar still that has a sterile container so you can make sure the water you get is drinkable.

How To Make A Solar Still

Alternative energy has become a lot cheaper than it used to be when the public was presented to it. But still, nowadays solar panels are hardly the aesthetically pleasing objects we want them to be. When you think of photovoltaic systems automatically your mind goes to those large panels, which are so awkwardly installed on rooftops. Although the environmental impact of those are practically zero, their architectural impact is not similar! That’s why you should definitely consider the innovative photovoltaic tiles, like these featured here. They are made from natural clay or slate slabs and have small solar panels applied to the flat side facing the sun. They are easy to install and have a high enough energy yield. There are also transparent solar shingles, which have an even less aesthetic impact. They are weather resistant and have similar characteristics to traditional tiles, with the only difference being the material: Plexiglas or PMMA, that allow a 90% passage of natural light.
