As the costs of home ownership rise both financially and in terms of its effect on the environment, many are turning to alternative lifestyles such as tiny home living. One such homeowner gave a tour of their incredible home via the Tiny Home Tours YouTube channel.
This particular home was embedded on a 4x4 Toyota Tundra. It featured a raisable roof that offered extra headroom and space. Space was maximized for storage, and despite its smaller dimensions, there's a queen-sized bed and a fully working kitchenette as well as room for the homeowner's playful cat.
Tiny home living comes with a ton of great benefits. First and foremost, it saves you money because you don't need nearly as much. You also save money on taxes. Maintenance and monthly bills are significantly less. It's also great for the environment as you generally use much fewer resources than those in traditional, larger homes.
This unique camper setup is powered by 500 watts of solar power, which is, of course, great for the environment because it doesn't require the burning of dirty fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. These release harmful pollution into the atmosphere that threaten the health of all living things. Solar power can also help bring our energy costs down to or near $0.
You don't need to transition to a tiny home lifestyle to install solar panels, and it is now easier than ever, thanks to a company called EnergySage. It offers a free online tool that gives potential customers quotes from vetted contractors, saving customers up to $10,000 in the process.
For some, the upfront costs of solar panel installation are simply prohibitive. Leasing solar panels is also a great option for those who want to help the environment while avoiding widely fluctuating energy prices. Palmetto's LightReach solar panel leasing program offers no-money-down installations and allows users to lock in low energy rates.
