In this day and age when the focus is more on the environment, you may want to consider a job in the “green” market. There are so many choices, that there are many different opportunities out there. Here are several of the hottest “green” careers out there, geared towards a greener more eco-friendly future.

Farming is really becoming a lost art. With only about 2 million farmers, whose ages are around 55 to 60 years old; this is an important area that is losing ground. Sustainable farming means using more organic methods, rather than harsh fertilizers and pesticides. You really don’t have to have some big giant commercial farm to grow food, many new farmers are thinking smaller, using resources better and reducing their costs.

Jobs in Forestry are growing more and more popular. Not only do they help with conservation and development, but they also work to teach people about how to improve their production, and cut down on their global impact. They also work on new ways to conserve our lands, how to prevent deforestation, and many other micro careers.

Now, with so many people looking to conserve energy, and find alternative sources of power to run their homes and businesses, there are several careers in this field. There is solar, wind turbine, as well as hydro electric and thermal energy alternative, and learning to install these systems are growing in demand. Not just this though, there are many other jobs related to this field, from Urban planning, sustainable systems development and many others. All of these jobs are designed to help companies, and communities develop self sustaining energy sources.

Conservation Biology, Green MBA entrepreneurs, and Energy Efficiency careers are also in high demand. One of the most important aspects of sustaining a green planet is recycling. You could start a recycling business, and there are many people who are starting these from their own homes. What you really need to get started here is a good scale, not one of those household models, something that can really take some weight. You will need bins to sort everything out, plastics, glass, aluminum, and even cardboard. You will need a computer, so you can check prices daily for recyclable materials, and some extra cash on hand to pay people.

The first thing you should do if you are interested in one of these careers is do some quick research. Stop and think of what you would really like to do, installing alternative power, or providing companies with alternative energy ideas that they can use. You should also look into what kinds of opportunities are available in your area, maybe there is a need for an installer, or your community may need people to help improve and decrease their carbon foot print.

Then, when you have decided what you want to do, find classes on the skills you need for whatever job you want. There are all kinds of different aspects of installing alternative power sources, some of which require special training. Many colleges offer complete career training, giving instruction on many different aspects of one job. These may require a lot of time and commitment, but if you truly want to help the Planet, you really do need to have or acquire a lot of different skills.

Solar energy is probably the most untapped sources of renewable energy available in the ecosystem. Although a solar panel pay for itself with the energy it adds to your house that saves you money, but it is probably the few energy sources used on the globe that is 100 percent renewable and 100 percent pollution free. Unlike energy sources such as coal or nuclear which produce toxic gases and byproducts that are harmful to the environment, solar power leaves zero carbon footprint and no harmful emissions in the act of absorbing sunlight to product electricity.

Solar Panels are made by mounting solar cells on a backing plate. Some panels are rigid and can be roof mounted while others are flexible and can be rolled up and put into a rucksack

Solar Cells are usually made from silica which comes from sand

Solar cells are small semiconductors which produce a small voltage and electric current when light shines on them

Solar Panels are getting cheaper now. With so much pressure from climate change concerns lots of technological effort is going into producing more cheaply.

Solar Panels are also getting more affordable due to central government grants and perhaps local grants too

Solar panels are gaining in efficiency in extreme measures. Wikipedia has it that the first solar cell was only 1% efficient and commercial cells are commonly 20% efficient. Breaking news would be that the latest experimental cells in a laboratory setting are 45% efficient. These cells hold a promise of smaller cheaper panels with even cheaper electric power.

Do-it-yourself enthusiasts are also building their own panels. The main skill needed for this sort of D.I.Y. project is soldering. You need this skill because the panels consist of, for example, 24 solar cells hooked up electrically and with leads soldered onto each cell. And in order to connect to your residence electric circuits even a keen D.I.Y. enthusiast would be recommended to call in a qualified electrician experienced in home solar energy to check what they’re doing!

The price of a factory made solar panel varies widely with its size and construction. It will be in the $ 800 to $ 1200 range and the home would need perhaps a dozen of these or more. You can view why the DIY market exists with prices like these!

It’s correct that electric utility companies may buy solar electricity out of your home should you be generating more than you are using but not all utilities do this, so check beforehand if this sounds like one of the goals

A solar survey done by an experienced solar installer will help you and advice on the position and direction of your panels. The panels need to face the sun and in the northern hemisphere they will face South but shade from trees and chimneys may mean that an installation is not practical on that roof. Some people solve that problem by mounting their panels on poles or frames well away from their home. Do not forget to read about metal garage buildings for an alternative storage soultion.

Solar energy is over a hundred years old and is now developing very fast. It is well worth checking to see if it may help you reduce both your impact on the environment your living costs.
