The most accessible renewable energy for the home is photovoltaic solar energy, which is obtained through the installation of solar panels. It is based on the generation of electricity from the sun's rays to produce the electricity needed for the home. It is perhaps already one of the most widespread renewable energies and most commonly known by consumers.

This type of energy is also easy to recognize on the roofs of buildings. It involves harnessing the sun's energy to produce heat, either for hot water production, heating or for the production of mechanical energy and, from this, electrical energy. It can also be used to supply cooling machines, e.g. to condition the air in rooms and houses.

This type of energy can also be used in the home and the main sources of renewable energy for domestic use are photovoltaic solar energy, solar thermal energy, wind energy, biomass energy.

Is the potential energy that a substance has in its chemical bonds. Is the potential energy that a substance has in its chemical bonds.
5
Is the energy released as a result of the reaction that occurs when heavy atomic nuclei split.
6
Is a form of energy that derives from the existence in matter of positive and negative electric charges that neutralize each other. Electrical energy can be transformed into many other forms of energy, such as light energy, mechanical energy and thermal energy.
7
Is the energy contained within a system and which is responsible for its temperature. Thermal energy has always been related to heat and, in fact, heat is the flow of that thermal energy.
8
It is a technology that uses mainly air energy to air-condition spaces. In general, it is considered a clean and efficient energy source. Its main uses are air conditioning and domestic hot water production.
9
Is a system of energy production excluding any pollution or management whereby we dispose of all waste that is hazardous to our planet.

Instead of using the sun as a natural energy source, produces energy through the wind and, although less common, can also have a domestic use. Domestic wind turbines are used to generate electricity from wind. In order to opt for this type of renewable energy in your home, different issues must be taken into account, such as whether the area where you live has enough wind, whether its installation is allowed or whether you have enough space for the installation, among others.

Heat can be generated with biomass boilers from forest residues, wood, pellets or other organic material that can be used to heat water.
