Which Energy Source Is Truly The Future?
I have had the opportunity to use generator, solar, and normal power supplies. And I can boldly tell the differences between each and every one of them.Starting with the generator. When I got to my apartment last year, it happened that there was no normal power supply at all. So I had to find a way to get a generator. I told my sister she should please find one for me; although I'm not buying a new one, I just need a generator that will be able to power my laptop and the rest of the gadgets I have in my house.Fortunately for me, she got me one from her neighbor.
I serviced the generator and took it to my house. Since then I've been using it. I started with buying fuel. I mean, I have to find all means to get the fuel, and even though I'm not sometimes financially buoyant, I still have to find the money.Not just that alone, anytime I'm using the generator, I have never used it to my satisfaction. This is because I can't leave my generator running 24/7 because of the cost of fuel. Imagine the cost of the fuel I will be spending every week. And sometimes I will not even put on the generator, and this is because I'm not financially buoyant.
Sometimes the fuel will not be available.On the other hand, there is no way I will go two months without repairing the generator.So to me, a generator is just for emergency use; it is never something to use for the long term, considering the disadvantages. The noise pollution, the smoke pollution, and so on. I hate noise so much.
Talking about the normal power supply, this is so good in an area where there is a stable power supply. We all know that nothing beats a real power supply; no matter what, you will be able to use it for everything you need. No matter how big the load can be, when it is a normal power supply, it will carry everything. On the other hand, too, power supply has its own disadvantages, but its advantages are much better than the disadvantages. But talking about the bills to be paid every month.
Some companies pay huge money every month; meanwhile, not all places even have a power supply. Some places will go months or years with no power supply. And that doesn't mean you will not pay the monthly bill. In my side now, it's almost a year we had a normal power supply last and we are still paying the normal bills every month. But in a normal settings where they do not lack power supply at all, and the bills is manageable, then they will definitely enjoy the power supply very well.
Lastly talking about solar system : This also has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Starting from the installation, solar is very expensive, if you know you want to enjoy solar, then you will have to be ready to spend good money on them. But then once you install it, you will enjoy it for years even though you need to maintain it. One good thing about solar is that, once you spend huge money on it, it is easy to maintain; there's nothing like buying or changing anything for years.
Especially if you live in an area where you have good sun.To also enjoy it, you have to get good batteries and make sure an expert helps you to install everything. Solar is the only thing that will give you peace of mind to some extent; you don't need to be spending every month. Before you spend at all, probably after five years of installation.So if I'm going to go for anything, I will definitely go for solar installation because it's the best.

The cost of fuel In this country you will think the country does not have crude oil which is where the fuel is gotten from.
Nothing beats public power supply. It's quite unfortunate that it's almost a luxury when it shouldn't be.
