Our customer had gone through energy conservation steps but still wanted to do more. We provided several designs they chose on one that included a 5600 watt Solar PV system, a 3300 Watt Wind Turbine, and a battery backup system to help get them through frequent power outages. This system in all reduced her carbon footprint by 50%.
Some feel that being green means being frugal, with the correct design, layout, and integration of high efficiency equipment and high performance insulation a home such as this one can use minimal power with maximum comfort. This home is equipped with a 1500 Watt Solar PV system, 3300 Watt Wind Turbine, Geo-thermal heating/cooling, and incorporated Passive Solar Design into the construction.
When this farm owner approached us they wanted to end their dependence on oil and at the same time eliminate their utility bills. This meant replacing their old oil furnace with high efficiency Geo-Thermal heat pumps, providing their hot water with Solar Thermal Panels and Hot-water Heat Pumps. To offset their electric usage from electronics and their Geo-Thermal system we installed a 9200 Watt Solar PV system and a 10,000 Watt Wind Turbine.
