There are many new energy saving gadgets on the market which which we thought you might like to know about. We at LifeEnergy have made a list of some of the most innovative new high tech solar products on the market. Even though some of these products may seem expensive, in the long run they could be a great addition to your home and help you save money on your electricity bill while reducing your carbon footprint for years to come.

SolarGaps

SolarGaps are solar paneled blinds which create renewable energy from the sun. The idea is to set the blinds up in a window so they can shade your home from the sun, but also so that they can collect large amounts of sunlight. These solar paneled blinds can generate up to 100-150W of energy from just a 10 sq. ft window. This is enough to power roughly 30 LED light bulbs or three Macbooks.  SolarGaps are currently in the process of making their products and will be available late 2017. Prices range from about $200 to $2000 depending on size. It may seem like an expensive up-front cost, but these blinds are designed to last for years – contributing to a life-time of savings.

Tesla Solar Powered Roofing

We have all heard about the Tesla automobile…. did you know they also make solar powered roofing? The Tesla solar powered roof takes in light and transforms it into energy that you can use to power your home.

However, if you are a new homeowner it could add value to your home and save you money every day for the rest of your life. Prices are different for each home depending on what type of roofing you want and how much of it you need.
