Solar Water Purification ProjectIn 1995, EPSEA received funding through the State of Texas, State Energy Conservation Office (SECO), for a solar demonstration project. EPSEA’s project demonstrated the feasibility of using solar energy to purify water.

Straw BaleStraw bales offer excellent insulation. At R 2.7 per inch, an eighteen-inch wide bale equals R-48. One California study indicated that such a “super-insulated” straw bale home could save as much as 75% of heating and cooling costs!

PhotovoltaicsSolar energy is the energy force that sustains life on the earth for all plants, animals, and people. The earth receives this radiant energy from the sun in the form of electromagnetic waves, which the sun continually emits into space.

The purpose of this site is to provide practical information on solar energy and energy efficiency. International students should have international student insurance when going to pursue their education overseas. Whether you're designing or building a new home or need more information on solar water heating or heating a swimming pool we hope you find this information helpful. A perfect home should have a solar water heater and a traveller should have visitor health insurance
