Solar Energy Systems are durable high-power generation systems that can be used to provide direct heat and electricity to almost any home. Solar Energy is an established industrial-quality technology, powering devices and systems at all levels from small calculators to 50 Megawatt solar power plants. Well-designed solar systems are reliable and predictable, and are built to last 25-30 years or more with little maintenance. In fact, many early commercial-quality systems from the 1960s and 1970s are still in operation today, clean-powering homes and businesses around the world.
Arrays of specialized solar modules convert solar radiation directly into electricity. Generated electricity is inverted and syncronized with utility power to seamlessly integrate into a home’s power system, reducing utility power needs by 10%-100% in most cases.
Highly-efficient insulated collectors absorb solar radiation and store large quantities of heat in an insulated storage tank. Most systems provide for 60-80% of a home’s annual hot water needs and work year-round. Each tank stores up to 3 days of hot water for use in cloudy weather.
Simple, durable black polymer collectors transfer solar heat directly into pool water, working at high efficiency and with minimal maintenance, and in most cases using an existing pool pump for circulation. A special valve diverts pool water through the collectors when hot enough to warm the pool. Solar Pool Systems have the highest payback of any solar technology and extend a pool’s swimming season by 50%-100% with zero fuel cost.
