Solar Electric

Demand for electricity requires vast amounts of sophisticated solar collection. Also known as photovoltaics (PV), solar electric technology features large arrays of collectors made up of silicon-coated cells. When sunlight strikes the surface of a PV cell, electrical fields are directed to electrons, resulting in a flow of current. PV electric systems require major components to properly conduct, control, convert, distribute, and store the energy produced by the array – items such as a power inverter, battery bank, system and battery controller, auxiliary energy sources and sometimes the specified electrical load (appliances).

Photovoltaic systems can be designed to provide DC and/or AC power service, can operate interconnected with or independent of the utility grid, and can be connected with other energy sources and energy storage systems. The current high cost of PV modules and equipment (as compared to other solar applications) is the primary limiting factor for this technology today.

Solar Pool Heating

Pool heating technology requires that large amounts of water (thousands of gallons) be heated to more moderate, comfortable temperatures which are typically lower than bathing requirements. Thus, this technology is designed to circulate high volumes of water slowly & repeatedly through polypropylene collectors. Since high temperatures are not desired, glass and copper are not needed to overly heat the water. Solar pool heating technology is similar to the water that is warmed in your garden hose when it sits in the sun; it therefore requires far fewer enhancements than other forms of solar energy.

Domestic Water Heating

A solar water heater uses the sun's energy rather than electricity or gas to heat water, thus reducing your monthly utility bill. When installed properly, solar water heaters are more economical over the life of the system than heating water with electricity, dedicated heat pumps, heat recovery units or propane.

Attic Ventilation

Every night, after dusk the heat of the day drifts off and gradually the cooler, wetter air of the evening resides where the heat of the day once had been. The next morning the process is reversed. We’re on at dawn, exchanging the night air before the heat of the day ever hits.

Attic ventilation keeps temperatures lower by exchanging the air of the attic with cooler exterior ambient air fast enough that heat gain never gets established. By keeping the attic air cooler, less heat can be conducted by the ceiling, which is the primary cause of heat gain within the house interior. In addition, we’re also going to increase the life of your roofing, as well as anything you may have in your attic space.
