Brad was recently interviewed by the local cable company for a local cable show:
Renewable Energy of Plum Hollow specializes in designing and installing rugged solar energy systems to handle the extremes of the Canadian environment. Since 1993, we have learned to design alternative energy systems to handle toughest challenges of the Canadian cold and the summer heat where pre-packaged systems fail. To avoid costly mistakes we suggest that you consult with our design team to make sure the equipment we install is right for you.
To Go Solar there are three options: 1) Solar Grid-Tie 2) Solar Water Heating and 3) Solar Off-Grid Living.
Solar Grid-Tied Photovoltaic
The Feed-In Tariff is here and we’re ready to put our many years of design, installations, and servicing to use to help you get your project up and running as quickly as possible. Before the FIT program, there was the Standard Offer Program, and before that, we helped our customers off-set the power bills with Net-Metering. The only difference is now you get to earn up to 54.9 cents per kilowatt-hour for the power you produce. That’s a 10-12% return on average, guaranteed for 20 years! And of course we only use products that have stood the test of time – Security for us and our customers, that’s our motto.
If you are concerned about the environment and you want to reduce greenhouse gases, you need to get a solar water heater. Did you know one fifth of our household energy use comes from heating our water? A simple residential solar hot water heater can cut this down by 50%, saving you money and helping the environment at the same time. Or perhaps you have a pool that you’d like to enjoy a bit earlier and later in the season – Solar Pool heating is your answer and typically pays-back in the first couple of years.
Off-Grid Living
Our solar and expertise grew out of the off-grid markets in the Greater Kingston Area. We have the ability to setup your secluded cottage with a power system that your family will continue to enjoy with out the burdens of generators. Maybe you’re interested in taking your entire home off-grid and cutting ties with Hydro. We have done this for many happy customers and would be delighted to assist you in your off-grid experience. For more information on going off-grid try of Alternative Energy FAQ page.
How Does Solar Power Work?
Check out this animation on the Schuco web site. It is a good illustration of solar energy.
In 2010, the Ontario Feed-In Tariff program has launched Ontario to the #2 spot in North America for Solar PV electricity production. Please show your support by telling your MPP today that you value clean, renewable electricity in our province. The Canadian Solar Industries Association has launched a new site called Stand Up For Solar and with a few clicks, you can let your MPP know how important solar incentives are to you and to our future.
