As solar power grows more affordable, you may be wondering how you can introduce solar power in your home. There are four primary types of solar power for homes - photovoltaics, passive solar, thermal solar, and thin film. Here are a few ways solar power can improve your home:
- Energy conservation - use a thermal hot water heater to reduce the amount of energy your conventional water heater uses to less that 30%.
- Outdoor Lighting - includes security lighting, solar lighted address numbers and solar bricks.
- Solar power shingles - reflect the sun's heat back to the sky instead of transferring it to your home, measured by solar reflectance and thermal emittance.
- Solar powered heating - captures the sun's heat and directs it to a specific room.
- Solar powered air conditioning - choose a hybrid solar powered ac unit.
- Solar power water pump - a good alternative to the typical generator.
You can even solar power your laptop! Get in touch if you'd like more information.
