Solar Information

Photovoltaic Solar Systems "PV" or Solar Electric:PV systems have recently gained strong popularity because of lowered equipment costs coupled with ever increasing electric rates. Unlike solar hot water systems, which are essentially a plumbing device, PV is an electrical system hard-wired to your electric circuit breaker box. The core of a PV panel uses silica wafers, when exposed to sunlight generates direct current (DC) electricity. The more solar modules a PV system has, the more electricity is generated. This DC electricity is then inverted into alternating current (AC), which can be used for household use to reduce (or even eliminate) your electric bill.Solar Hot Water Heaters:Heating water with sunshine is nothing new. For thousands of years people have used the sun to heat water, even as basic as a black bucket full of water in the yard. It takes a lot of energy to heat water using electricity or gas. In fact, up to 30% of a homes energy consumption is used solely to heat water for bathing, laundry and cleaning. By installing a solar hot water system, homeowners can significantly reduce energy consumption, thereby saving money and even reducing global pollution at the same time! A properly selected, sized and installed system will provide decades of cost savings and environmentally friendly trouble-free performance. Installing a solar hot water system is the first-and most cost-effective step when turning to the sun for energy. Even if you plan on installing a photovoltaic system, a solar hot water system is almost always a must-do component to your home solar energy system.Residential Solar Pool Heaters:Is your swimming pool ice cold and do you dread those cool fall days bringing your swim season to a close?Dont let cooler temperatures keep you from you pool. You can extend your swim season by months and fully enjoy all the benefits of owning a pool in the cooler months. If you have a screen enclosure or shading of your pool, heating with solar is likely be your best option due to the high cost of gas and electricity. Operating a gas or electric pool heater may cost hundreds of dollar per month, where a solar heater gets it fuel for FREE. Nature is good!Our solar pool heaters are made of a flexible polymer material and temperature is maintained using an electronic controller, sensors and an automatic diverter valve. Most of the time, your existing pool pump is plenty to run our system. Solar pool panels come in a variety of sizes and can be attached to a roof or ground-mounted. Even if you already have an electric or gas pool heater, a solar heater can work in conjunction with any pool heating appliance to significantly reduce operation costsyear after year. A properly sized, selected and installed solar pool heating system adds value to your home and fun to your pool.
