What is a RE System?
For decades, people all around the world have come to depend on the oil industry to produce fossil fuels to power our homes, commercial structures, our vehicles – everywhere we go, we need fossil fuels to support our lifestyle. Unrivaled, oil companies continually raise their prices, knowing that consumer demands will not suffer because we all rely on their products. But now, renewable energy technology is giving the oil industry a run for their money.
Not only are wind and solar energy systems 100% cleaner than oil, they also provide electricity using energy that is completely free. By simply investing in an initial fixed cost (the price of the RE technology), you no longer have to buy fuel to supply electricity to your home.
There are so many good reasons to use renewable energy systems to power your home. Whether you are concerned about the impacts on the environment resulting from the burning of fossil fuels, or you want to save future energy costs; renewable energy technology is an investment in your future.
Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) solar cells to convert solar radiation into direct current electricity. This technology is great because once you have invested in solar energy technology, you no longer rely on expensive fuel sources – your ‘fuel’ is free. After a short time, your energy bill savings will allow you to recoup your original investment and save on future energy costs.
Solar panel units are used to generate enough power to support or completely substitute conventional power systems for any home or structure. We offer a range of models and sizes of panels to suit your energy requirements. Furthermore, we have experienced renewable energy specialists available for consultation.

Wind Turbines are an ideal alternative to conventional power sources for residential and light-industrial structures. We offer; Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines, Tower Systems, and Vertical Axis Wind Turbines – which are great for use in residential areas. Similarly to solar power systems, wind powered turbines are a practical energy sources, if you are interested in utilizing renewable energy technologies. To date, these are the most effective means of harnessing renewable energy.
Micro hydro is a term used for hydroelectric power installations that typically produce up to 100 kW of power. These installations can provide power to an isolated home or small community, or are sometimes connected to electric power networks. There are many of these installations around the world, particularly in developing nations as they can provide an economical source of energy without purchase of fuel. Micro hydro systems complement photovoltaic solar energy systems because in many areas, water flow, and thus available hydro power, is highest in the winter when solar energy is at a minimum. Micro hydro is frequently accomplished with a pelton wheel for high head, low flow water supply. The installation is often just a small dammed pool, at the top of a waterfall, with several hundred feet of pipe leading to a small generator housing. (http://en.wikipedia.org/)
Energy storage media are matter that store some form of energy at a later time to perform some useful operation. A device that stores energy is sometimes called an accumulator. All forms of energy are either potential energy (eg. chemical, gravitational or electrical energy) or kinetic energy (eg. thermal energy). A wind-up clock stores potential energy (in this case mechanical, in the spring tension), a battery stores readily convertible chemical energy to keep a clock chip in a computer running (electrically) even when the computer is turned off, and a hydroelectric dam stores power in a reservoir as gravitational potential energy. Ice storage tanks store ice (thermal energy) at night to meet peak demand for cooling. Fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline store ancient energy from sunlight. Even food (which is made by the same process as was fossil fuel) is a form of energy stored in chemical form.(http://en.wikipedia.org/)
As any home owner knows; domestic hot water is one of the biggest expenses on your home energy bill. This is due to the fact that the process of heating water through the use of electricity is incredibly inefficient. However, with our solar electric hot water heaters, we use an advanced new system to power heaters that function at a very low voltage, which means that they require far less electricity to power.
Pool and Hot Tub Heating
Similarly to the solar electric hot water heating system, the pool and hot tub heating systems use low voltage solar electric powered heaters to supply hot water to pools and hot tubs. When using solar power to heat these systems you can effectively eliminate electricity related costs. Using the same technology that is used to heat water inside your home, we can install systems that use the sun’s energy to heat your pool or hot tub.
Home Heating and Cooling
We have in-floor radiant hot water heating systems as well as hot water heating systems that supplement forced air furnace systems. We can provide these and other heating and cooling alternatives depending on the size and design of your home.
