Solar Path Finder
This tool allows us to chart the path of the sun in your installation location. It shows us what path the sun will take across an open space–such as your roof–where the horizon falls, where it will be blocked by trees or other buildings, and where its path will vary from season to season. We will then install the solar collector panels or tubes at the optimal location and angle to absorb the maximum available solar energy at your site.

Portable Solar Collection and Water Heating Demo Unit
We will bring this unit to fairs, conferences, showcases, and your place of business or home, so that you can see up close and in person the various parts of a Solar Water Heating System and the options that are available for collecting and distributing solar energy throughout your building, industrial site, pool, home, or other system. This demo unit features a fully functioning Solar PV (Photo-Voltaic) Panel array, Solar Tube Collector, Water Heater, and Pump (run from the PV Panels or battery). Plus you can see how panels are mounted, angled, the piping system, etc. — everything on and under the “roof,” without having to climb a ladder!

Training & Certification
Our employees are well trained and certified in designing and installing solar energy collection and solar water heating systems to meet your needs. We were very excited, at a training in Orlando, Florida this September to meet Tom Lane, author of Solar Hot Water Systems: Lessons Learned 1977 to Today and recent inductee into the “International Solar Hall of Fame.” Below is our photo with Tom and his helpful guidebook.

A Complete Solar Energy Collection & Water Heating System
We had a busy summer installing solar heating systems. See below photos of three solar heat collecting systems we are able to demonstrate at our business facility. These systems are in operation heating water for the showers, shop, and pool.

Sampling of Photovoltaic Systems
Installing a photovoltaic system to generate electricity is a great way to reduce your electric bill. You can even watch your electric meter spin backward on sunny days! There’s no shortage of sunshine, so why not let it work for you?
