Fusion: Insulation and Solar Panel

Do you want to save more money from energy consumption? It is perhaps the one thing we want when it comes to energy talks: to cut off a few energy cost consumption.

Hope this article might do the trick or at least shed some light.

Insulation by pouring or spraying is one way of cutting down expenses whether on heating (in cold countries like Canada, some parts of US, Europe, Japan and those above the tropical zone) or cooling (in hot and humid countries like the Philippines, Mexico, India and those that belonged to the tropical zone). The more sufficiently your home is insulated, the lesser energy you lose through inefficiency and by inefficiency, we mean those energy lost through leakages in your structural home. It is advisable to call your trusted contractor or energy auditor to help you assess on how much insulation you need for your home.

The sun's existence is constant and its heating power, as well. Pondering whether using insulation materials and solar panels both at once will work, I stumbled on an article on a research led by an associate professor of University of California- San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering: Jan Kleissl with which his research output was granted permission to be published in Solar Energy the official journal of the International Solar Energy Society.

In his research observation of Powell Structural Systems Lab, the tilted solar panels on roofs served as roof shades which also received all the heat from the sun. Instead the sun striking down onto the roof and causing heat to be pushed through the roofs and into the ceiling of the building, the solar panels took the solar baggage.

The gap between the tilted panels and the roof gives a space for air circulation providing further cooling. On the image below, the footprint of the titled solar panel is visible as the cool blue area.

Solar energy technology has progressed from time (though still in the process) that it can provide a little energy use or even all your energy usage for appliances. Also, solar panels not only help lower energy consumption cost, it also aids in the cooling outcome in your building combined with insulators.

If properly installed, the research sited along with claims of advantages of insulation will both hold true. Nonetheless, it is with the consumer to take risk, make a change and witness notable achievements.
