Step 1
Install solar panels on your roof. The solar panels can generate electricity and can increase your home's value. Not only can this help with saving the environment, it can also help to save you money in the long run. There are many brands and types, so it is best to contact a professional for installation and to answer any questions that you may have.

Step 2
Put solar lights outside your home. They can used to light walkways or the backyard and can look just as beautiful as the regular outside lights that you are used to. They come in several forms from lanterns to posts and other varieties in between, so you are sure to find one that works well with your outside environment.

Step 3
Purchase a solar electronics charger. Charging electronics from laptops and cell phones to digital cameras and PDAs can use up a lot of energy. Plugging into the charger lets you use your electronic device without worrying that the battery will die.

Step 4
Put solar house numbers outside your home. At night, it can be difficult to direct someone to your home if the numbers on your house cannot be seen. A solar house light also makes it easier to see which home is yours. The devices capture the sun's energy during the day to stay on throughout the night.

Step 5
Place floating solar lights in your pool. They light up at night after being out in the sun during the day and can create little floating balls of light on your pool at night. If you do not want them in your pool, you can place them around the edge as well. Many brands state that the lights can stay lit for longer than seven hours at night, so that gives plenty of time for their use.
