Dear Admin,
Neat Post, The size and weight of any laptop have great impact when it comes to considering using solar energy to power the device. Since most laptops will need about 70 watts of power to operate, any solar panels providing this amount of power would be way too heavy to carry about and use where there is no traditional source for household electric current. But, technology can now come to the rescue increasing the opportunity to meet small mobile applications for energy.
Keep up the good work

Instant or on-demand water heaters do not store water. The only way to store is in a storage tank. Tank water heaters use electrical or gas backup. On demand requires instant power needed immediately.
I am not a big fan of on demand water heaters. The jury is still out. Thermal water heaters are energy efficient because it uses sunlight to heat water. It does need storage.
The government does pay you in the form of tax incentives on many energy efficient improvements. For more descriptive information, you can check out their site at http://www.dsireusa.org and just click on your state.
