GEOTHERMAL

Geothermal Systems (commonly referred to as Ground Source Heat Pumps) are electrically powered systems that tap the stored energy of the greatest solar collector in existence: the earth. These systems use the earth's relatively constant temperature to provide heating, cooling, and hot water for homes and commercial buildings. These systems are proven and proficient. On average, geothermal systems are 70% more efficient and maintain a longer design life than that of a modern furnace and air conditioner.

SOLAR ELECTRIC

Solar electric systems generate electric power by using solar cells to convert energy from the sun into electricity. Numerous solar electric applications are available today, capable of providing significant energy that is both proficient and cost effective.

SOLAR THERMAL

Solar thermal systems utilize technology for harnessing solar energy for thermal energy (heat). Solar thermal collectors are flat plates generally used to heat swimming pools and create hot water for residential and commercial use. With rising fuel and electricity prices around the US, there has never been a better time to consider a solar thermal system for your home or business. Solar thermal technology allows the sun's energy to heat water, lowering or eliminating your electric or propane water heating expenses.

WIND ENERGY

Wind energy systems harness electricity through the use of wind turbines. Turbine technology has improved leaps and bounds over the last few years, allowing for significant clean energy development that is cost effective and proven, for both small residential applications and large scale wind farms.

MICRO HYDRO-ELECTRIC ENERGY

Micro hydro systems utilize a steady source of running water to provide constant and reliable electricity. The power output of micro hydro turbines depends on the head and the flow of water available. Some require as little as a two foot head and a flow of two gallons a minute. Carefully designed and located, a micro hydro system should have very limited impact on the local ecology.
