October 23, 2015

Today, residential solar panels can provide sufficient energy to power buildings in remote locations, eliminating the need to connect to the electrical grid. Living in a secluded area often used to mean living without power, as installing new utility lines to isolated areas can be extremely challenging, and therefore, quite expensive. Now, with today’s affordable and effective PV energy systems, people can have reliable, inexpensive power in even the most far-flung locations. Remote Applications of Solar Energy When utility service is not available or practical, PV technology can be used to take care of a building’s power needs. Solar powered systems have the capacity to provide enough electricity for lighting and appliances used in a remote home or vacation cabin....

October 21, 2015

Photovoltaic solar technology provides a wealth of perks for consumers as well as businesses, but many people don’t think about a valuable side benefit: peace and quiet. Throughout Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and the rest of the Intermountain West, solar energy users are enjoying true energy independence and its significant financial advantages, as well as the drop in noise pollution that results from shunning traditional methods of generating electricity. PV panel technology is quiet, especially when compared to traditional diesel or gas-powered versions. In fact, it’s being used in other countries today to dampen traffic noise from the freeways! Excess Noise from Traditional Power Industrial operations of all types typically generate a lot of noise, but electric plants are some of...

October 19, 2015

Solar energy can be the key to lowering production costs of any agricultural or horticultural operation. Dairy, poultry or sheep farming, growing grains or other crops — every type of farm, including vineyards, orchards and other specialized operations — involves many energy-intensive practices. Putting the sun to work makes sense as a practical solution to lowering farming energy use and expense. Uses for Solar Technology on the Farm Dozens of high-tech options are available today for using photovoltaic systems in agriculture and horticulture. Passive solar techniques, such as staging the crop rows and designing or updating buildings to take advantage of the sunlight, often come at little cost but offer the capacity to boost a farm’s productivity. PV panel systems...

Understanding Solar Technology: Active versus Passive Design
Solar Blogs
1173 Views

October 16, 2015

The goal of all solar technology is to capture the heat generated by the sun and convert it into usable energy. Solar energy can be harnessed to effectively power residential and industrial heating and cooling systems, and any other system that currently relies on electricity for its power source. Technology to harness the power of the sun can be either passive or active in design, and either can be effective in making a home or business more energy-efficient. Passive Solar Energy Passive solar technology does not require the use of specialized mechanical devices or equipment to convert the sun’s energy to power. Greenhouses and sunrooms are examples of passive designs. The sun’s rays pass through the windows, and the structure’s...

Are Rotating Solar Panels Effective?
Solar Blogs
4057 Views

October 14, 2015

Rotating solar panels are getting a lot of media attention lately, and at first glance, they seem to have some benefits. Tracking systems move the panels throughout the day in order to keep them facing the sun. The longer they are aligned with the sun, the more energy they can produce – or at least that is the idea behind them. In reality, however, moving solar panels may not be the most practical choice for many homes and businesses. Tracking Systems Cost More than Fixed-Tilt Systems In a direct comparison with fixed-tilt solar installations, rotating systems will virtually always be more expensive. This is due to a few factors. First of all, tracking panels have parts and machinery which are...
