hi guys! I am sure everyone of us uses electricity from sun up to sun down, even while we sleep. And most of us, especially those who have lots of electrical appliances at home, would either raise their brow or their blood pressure when they get to see their electric bill for the month. And it's of no wonder because our bill consistently goes up for majority of the months in a year, and very seldom does it go down, true? Well here's good news for most of us who are tired of paying high electricity bills every month. Of course this would not be as easy as ABC, but the mere fact that we consumers have an alternative source of energy is something to look forward to. And while we are hoping to benefit from solar cells being used in homes as primary source of electricity, some families in Mindanao, Philippines are already reaping the fruits of its viability in the area. Thanks to that non-government organization-assisted project that distributed solar cell kits to those families who previously had no electricity. Indeed it is possible to have zero monthly electricity bill.

Well I think that can apply indeed to those people that is consuming very little or no electricity at all. But I think applying that in an urban setting they cannot compensate with the needs that an ordinary household in a city over solar energy. I think you would have to invest a large amount to really get off the grid totally.
But I am like you that dreams that someday these technology can become affordable and freely accessible to everybody. We can really help mother nature breath better to recuperate from burning of fossil fuels.
