• Solar Thermal Hot Water Heating Systems

  Heating water is one of the largest utility costs homeowners face every month. By installing a Solar water heating system, you can have the sun do the same job for hundreds of dollars less per year. Solar water heating is usually your first and most cost-effective way to solarize your home. 

  Drain Back Systems. State-of-the-art, fail-safe freeze protection with thermal limiting (closed loop, indirect): Collector water is separate from potable water and the collector water drains into a special tank to prevent freezing and overheating concerns once potable water is up to temperature, or if a risk of freezing exists.    

  • Durable flat-plate collectors
  • Hail tested and National SRCC certification
  • 5 or 10 year warranty
  • Multiple mounting options (roof or ground)
  • Save up to 75% on your water heating costs.
  • Save up to 15% or more on your home’s energy bill.
  • Recoup your investment within 5 – 7 years.
  • Continue saving for 20 or more years.
  • Helps the environment as much as a hybrid car.
  • Keeps you comfortable. You always have a back-up heat source.
  • 30% Federal Tax Credit!

• Solar Thermal Pool Heating Systems

  Solar pool heating systems work extremely well for recreational pool use. Enjoy the comfort of sun warmed water in the low to high 80's. Furthermore, you will extend your swimming season and enjoy your pool in late spring and early fall.  You will also save money by cutting your pool heating costs.

  The systems are sized based on the size of your current pool. You will need a system equal to 50 - 100% of the pool surface. For example, a pool that is 20' X 30' would need 8 to 10 of the 4' X 10' solar pool collectors. Your current pool pump circulates the pool water through the series of collectors to warm the water. A pump timer and solar controls regulate the temperature. A thermal pool cover will decrease heat loss at night. The solar pool collectors are usually mounted on a relatively south facing roof near the pool. They can also be ground mounted for aesthetics, or if inadequate roof space is available. 

  Be sure to combine this system with a liquid or traditional pool blanket for even better efficiency.

• Solar Tops for golf carts

  Now everyone can enjoy the benefits of owning a solar golf cart, with the Sunray Solar Roof Kit* from Cruise Car! This revolutionary new product offers an easy and affordable way for consumers to "go green". No gas is required to run a solar cart!

  These solar panels can generate up to 180 watts, 60 volts and supply a hefty 3 amps directly to a 36 or 48 volt battery. As long as the vehicle is in the sun, the battery is constantly recharging itself through the solar panel.
  
  Converting a cart to a Sunray top will benefit the end user by increasing the distance the cart can go on a single charge by 30%. A golf cart with a solar-panel is ideal for trips around town, around the neighborhood or for those extra rounds of golf. With the Sunray Solar Roof Kit, your customers can do their part for the environment and save on energy costs. Even those who own a golf cart can now have a solar cart and not have to give up the vehicle they currently own and enjoy.

  
  
  

• Windterra Eco 1200 1Kw Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

  

  • VAWTs are omni-directional (can instantaneously accept wind from any direction) as opposed to Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) which have to constantly rotate so that they are facing the wind.
    
    
  • VAWTs are easily roof mountable and are less affected by turbulent air than HAWTs, which make VAWTs far better suited for residential areas where obstacles such as other houses and trees may disturb the airflow. Mounting the VAWT on a roof as opposed to a pole or tower makes the unit more accessible for easy routine maintenance.
    
    
  • Windterra's VAWTs rotate at a much lower speed than the very high speeds of existing HAWTs (225 rpm versus 900 rpm), resulting in much lower noise levels and vibration.
    
    
  • Windterra’s inverter technology provide efficiencies at lower voltages (lower wind speeds) not seen anywhere in the industry.
    
    
  • Windterra's control system allow the turbine to operate at its most efficient level throughout the wind velocity range (Dynamic Loading). This ensures that the turbine is always producing the most energy possible for a given wind speed without overloading the turbine.
    
    
  • Our blade design optimizes the turbine’s performance at typical lower wind speeds. Most designs concentrate on rated wind speed and rated power, which yield a lower annual power output at typical wind speeds. Windterra’s designs focus on generating the most amount of power at typical wind speeds. The result is a higher annual power output - this is what is important to the consumer - annual power output, not rated power!
    
    
  • Windterra ships an all in one, complete system; everything you need to mount the personal wind turbine to residence or commercial building comes in one package!
    
    
  • Windterra’s ECO1200 is a complete "all-in-one" wind turbine system, which includes the turbine, controller/inverter, and mounting system.

  • 30% Federal tax credit.

• Programmable thermostats

  Did you know that properly using a programmable thermostat in your home is one of the easiest ways you can save energy, money, and help fight global warming? A programmable thermostat helps make it easy for you to save by offering settings to regulate your home’s temperature in both summer and winter — when you are asleep or away.

  The average household spends more than $2,000 a year on energy bills — nearly half of which goes to heating and cooling. Homeowners can save about $180 a year by properly setting their programmable thermostats and maintaining those settings. The key is to establish a program that automatically reduces heating and cooling in your home when you don’t need as much.

• Compact fluorescent lighting

  If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.

   

  

• SP Bubbly Solar Stock Tank De-Icing

  The solar-powered aeration system offers an easy way to keep stock tanks accessible to livestock throughout the winter months. The SP-Bubbly can also be used to aerate a small pond, encouraging fish and preventing winter kill, while suppressing the growth of mosquito larvae in the warmer months.

  System Description

  The SP-Bubbly is designed to provide aeration in small ponds as well as de-icing for stock tanks when there is no power available to run traditional air pumps. The SP-Bubbly incorporates the use of an efficient DC air pump coupled with a small photovoltaic module. Each day the sun rises in the east, the PV module sends power to the aerator pump which in turn delivers air through an air hose to the one-way valve located at the bottom of the tank. The air bubbled up from the bottom of the tank or pond throughout the day until the sun sets in the evening.

   De-icing occurs during the winter months once the stock tank or pond freezes over. The frozen ice on the surface acts as an insulator to the water down below the surface. During the daytime, the SP-Bubbly activates, bubbling up the warmer water from the bottom of the tank melting a hole in the ice large enough for livestock or wildlife to drink from, thus eliminating the need for continual ice-breaking in the winter months.

  The SP-Bubbly is designed for quick & easy installation. The unit is shipped assembled, the only necessary steps is to secure the unit to a post adjacent to the pond or tank utilizing the provided straps, and drop the one-way air valve into the water. It is wise to locate the PV assembly high enough on the post and fastening the excess air hose to the post to lessen the chance of livestock tampering with the unit.
