Green Business Ideas In Solar Energy

Generating electricity from solar energy has long been an interesting topic to me. Imagine a solar panel on your south facing roof that generates electricity quietly and saves/makes you money whenever the sun shines.

Electricity generated by solar panels or wind turbines cannot only save you money on your monthly electric bill, but you can also sell the excess electricity back to your local utility company through a process known as net metering.

Ecopreneurs have turned solar energy into a great green business that makes them money. There are three ways for you to make money with solar energy.

The first way requires some technical expertise. Sell, install, and service solar electric and/or wind generators. If you don't have the technical expertise, hire it! A licensed electrician should be able to handle the installation and service for you. You can handle the business side of the green business - finding new customers.

Home Power magazine (www.homepower.com/home/) is an excellent source for the latest advice on renewable energy systems. You will find helpful articles on solar electricity, wind electricity, micro-hydro electricity, solar hot water, solar homes, and even electric cars.

If you think installing and servicing solar electric systems is out of your league, there is a simple way to be involved in the solar energy field without the technical issues.

Start An MLM Solar Business

My second green business idea is to become an Ecopreneur for a company that installs and services solar panel systems. Yes, solar energy has gone multi-level.

About a year or two ago I met an independent representative of Powur of Citizenre Renu at a local trade show. He stopped me as trade show vendors often do, to discuss the new ground breaking green business opportunity.

It seems Citizenre Renu has a plan to rent solar panels to home owners. No longer do home owners have to invest thousands of dollars into a solar panel electrical system to start enjoying the benefits of solar energy.

The home owners sign a contract with Citizenre Renu to install a solar panel and related circuitry. Citizenre Renu works with your local utility company and your local city authorities to integrate the solar panel system into your local grid.

Since the Citizenre Renu sells their services on a multi-level marketing plan, ordinary entrepreneurs like you can start this green business without all the technical and installation issues. You just concentrate on finding new customers for Citizenre Renu.

Of course the company will train you for this business opportunity.

You can market these solar panels systems in many ways. My preferred marketing method is to build a website that attracts people who would like a solar panel to generate electricity and save money on their utility bill.

The best way to build a website that works is to use Site Build it (SBI). Many MLMers without any web site experience have found success by networking online with SBI. (new window opens) The Internet is an excellent tool to find interested people in both solar energy and network marketing.

Creating a theme based website filled with articles on solar energy benefits and/or network marketing will find you prospects for your solar business and your MLM business opportunity.

Start a Website About Green Issues

My third green business idea is to start a website and/or blog about renewable energy, environmental issues, or even green business ideas.

I once came across an environmental blog who's owner claimed he made $15,000 per month from Google Adsense. He put some text ads provided by Google on his website/blog. Each time a visitor clicked the ad, he got paid! Now it takes a lot of visitors and web page articles for that to happen.

Now I grant you, $15,000 per month is above average. $200 to $4,000 per month would be more typical of an average informational website.

The key to success is to write about a topic for which you have a lot of passion and knowledge. Renewable energy, environmental issues, or even green gardens do have a significant number of people interested in those topics.

With a tool like Site Build It!, (new window opens) you can brainstorm your green business ideas to see which one is the most likely to succeed.

Site Build It! is an all-in-one web hosting, page creation tool that helps you rank well with search engines. This is a must if you want to build a website that gets free traffic from search engines. It works for me. It can work for you too!
