Basically, a home or business owner can generate private power using the sun and wind. We offer three solutions for you to convert Mother Nature's power into your power.

Hot Water from the Sun or Solar Thermal Systems
Electricity from the Sun or Photovoltaic Systems
Electricity from the Wind or Wind Power

Conservation-The most simple and cost effective way to reduse your energy bills and your carbon footprint is to conserve energy. Here is a list of some simple ways to decrease your energy usage:

• Install compact fluorescent light bulbs; they use about 1/4 the energy of incandescent
• Insulate ceilings, walls, hot water tanks and pipes
• Install a programmable thermostat; turn down the heat and turn up the A/C temperatures when they are not noticed such as when no one is home or everyone is sleeping, or during non office hours for businesses
• Install energy-efficient appliances, including: clothes washers, clothes dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, room air conditioners and dehumidifiers
• Install energy efficient, double paned windows
• For new construction, take advantage of passive solar design to decrease overall space heating and cooling energy needs over the lifetime of the building

These small steps add up to considerable savings on utility bills. The simple awareness of your own energy usage is a good starting place to begin transitioning from the mindset of endless, easily accessible, carbon based fuels. The world's demand for these fuels continues to increase while limited supply is being depleted. The sun is a virtually infinite source of free energy that when used wisely, can supply most of our daily needs. There is a statement that can be perfectly applied to conservation and renewable energy technologies, "Think globally, act locally".
