Solar Electric Systems

Solar Electric Arrays (also known as Photovoltaic or PV for short) convert the sun's rays into electricity. A solar electric system saves money through net metering. This means the utility meter runs slower or even backward during the day then forward during the night. Credits are logged and carried month to month so overproduction can offset under-production.

Solar Thermal Systems

Solar thermal (also know as solar hot water) systems absorb rays from the sun and use them to heat water that is stored in a tank. The stored water offsets the building's natural gas, electric, or propane bill related to domestic water use and/or home heating. Solar collectors are typically mounted on the roof but can be mounted on the ground or even the side of building.

Other Solar Equipment

Whether you're trying to supplement daytime heat in the winter or decrease the warmth of the building in summer, there is solar power equipment available. Solar air collectors are a great way to provide a boost of heat into the home during late Fall, Winter, and early Spring days. Solar attic fans increase the air flow in the attic space through mechanical ventilation reducing living space temperatures by several degrees. Both of these solutions offset heating and cooling costs.
