star Grid-Tie Systems

line-short

 

A Grid-tie solar system is "Grid-connected" solar energy system that is designed to sell power back to the utility company. Since there are no batteries, they will only operate when utility power is available. These systems will offset your utility usage. With the correct size system, it will earn you a credit during the day that you would consume at night.

 

How it Works

line-long

Solar Panels - Solar panels collect molecules of sunshine, which are little packets of energy, and convert them into an electric current.

DC to AC Inverter - DC to AC inverters convert the DC current generated by a solar panel into AC current that can be used to power appliances in your home.

AC Loads - Once your solar panels have converted the Sun's light into an electric current and that current has been converted from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), it can then be used to power your lights and appliances.

Electric Meter - Your home solar power system can actually cause your electric meter to spin backwards as it feeds the electricity it generates into the main power grid and you earn credit on your electric bill.

Main Power Grid - Once electricity generated by your residential solar power system is directed onto the power grid, it can then be used by someone else and adds to the overall total of kilowatt hours produced by a clean and renewable energy source - the Sun!

Most people associate solar energy with remote installations and off-grid implementations. In those cases, the choice may be an easy one, but in towns and cities there are still reasons to turn to solar energy as a supplement and alternative to electrical utility grids.

 

Cost Benefits

line-long

The best reason is the reduction in utility bills. Once your system is working, it requires no monthly fees and little or no maintenance (and most parts are warranted). While it runs, it also reduces your electrical bills. Eventually it will pay for itself and keep saving you money. Large systems may even make you money by giving you perpetual credit with your local utility company.

Not only is your investment going to save you money and pay for itself, but solar installations frequently raise property value in both industrial and residential settings. Adding a solar energy system to your home or business will also supplement the investment you've made in your property.

Another great incentive - many states (and now the Federal government) offer rebates and incentives for implementing solar power systems. Our rebates section will help you find all the rebates for which you may qualify!

Finally, solar energy is a clean source of renewable energy. It reduces dependence on fossil fuels in a practical and effective way, and helps keep our environment clean.

 

Grid-Tie Systems w/ Battery Backup star

line-short

Grid-tie systems with battery backup feeds excess solar electricity to the grid and provides backup power when the utility grid is down. With this type of system you sacrifice some power generation efficiency in exchange for having power when there is a utility power failure. The amount of backup power you have depends on the size of the battery and electrical loads that draw on them.

 

star Off-Grid Systems

line-short

The stand-alone solar power is an Off-grid solar power thatgives people all over the world the electricity to power theirhomes. In rural America, off-grid solar makes it possible to buy undeveloped land (with no utility power) very cheaply, to build an affordable house, and live with all the comforts of city houses which are powered by the utility company.....without the electric bill!

 

Cost Benefits

line-long

When the utility company wants to charge an arm and a leg to pull electric lines out to your cabin or rural lot, off-grid power can save you tons of money.

If you want to move from a utility-connected home or a generator power, a GPL off grid solar system is the answer.

With off grid power you are your own electric company! When the sun shines you store excess electricity in batteries and draw it out later. An off-grid inverter can convert the DC energy from solar panels and batteries into AC electricity which powers normal appliances.

This pre-engineered solar system includes a battery bank, solar panels, inverters and controller.

When you live off the grid, you will never have to pay an electric bill ever again. You become energy independent and eco-friendly.

 

Solar Hot Water Systems star

line-short

This GPL Solar hot water system collects the sun's energy and transfers it into your hot water tank, supplying most of your hot water needs, even in the winter. Solar collector panels containing a heat transfer fluid (a mixture of water and food-grade glycol) are installed on the roof at a favorable angle to the sun.

 

How it Works

line-long

Temperature sensors are installed on the collector panel and on the storage tank. When the temperature in the collector panel is 20 degrees higher than the temperature in the storage tank, the differential controller turns on the system pump(s) and circulates the water from the collector panel through a heat exchanger where the heat is transferred to the storage tank.

Water continues to circulate until the temperature of the water in the storage tank is within a few degrees of the collector temperature. Then the differential controller turns off the pump(s). As hot water from the storage tank is used, this cycle is repeated.

The main components of GPL Solar Hot Water system.

 

  1. Solar collector panel. Usually mounted on your roof, the collector captures the heat from the sun and transfers it to the liquid circulating through the panel.


  2. Solar storage tank. The solar storage tank is where the heat energy captured by the collector panel is stored for later use.


  3. Heat exchanger. The heat exchanger transfers the heat energy captured by the collector panel is transferred to the potable water that is stored in the solar storage tank. In our pressurized system, the heat exchanger is integral to the solar storage tank. In our drainback system, the heat exchanger is in the drainback tank.


  4. Control system. The control system consists of the differential controller and the circulating pump(s). The differential controller compares the temperature difference between the solar storage tank and the collector panel. When the collector panel temperature is 20 degrees higher than the storage tank temperature, the controller turns on the pump(s) and circulates the water through the system

star Solar Pool Heating

line-short

Solar pool heating systems are designed for swimmers who enjoy pool temperatures from the mid 70s to the upper 80s (even low to mid 90s in some climates).

 

How it Works

line-long

All you do is set the desired pool temperature on your solar controller and the sun does the rest. When your solar controller senses that there is enough sunlight to heat your pool and that your pool is colder than you desire, water is automatically diverted to your solar system. Your pool pump sends pool water to the solar collectors. As the water flows through 120 tubes in each solar collector, the sun's energy heats it. The solar-heated water then flows back to your pool. This simple cycle continues until your pool reaches your desired temperature. You can also cool your pool during warmer months by simply running your pool pump at night and sending the water through your solar panels. Your solar controller will automatically switch to nocturnal cooling and divert the pool water through the solar collectors.

Cost Benefits

line-long

Solar pool heaters have many advantages over other pool heaters (like electric and gas):

  • Energy used is clean and unlimited.
  • System cost is usually equal to or less than other heaters.
  • There is no ongoing expense to operate your heater. After installation, all the energy generated is FREE from the sun.
  • Solar heaters have no moving parts so they generally require less service and last years longer than other types of heaters.

star Solar Water Pump

line-short

The Solar Water Pump System is designed to use solar-electric power to pump water fromnatural water sources. Solar water pump systems are used for home or village water supply, irrigation, agriculture, livestock watering, water treatment, and more.

 

How it Works

line-long

 

Solar pumps fall into two major categories - surface, which include pressure, delivery, and booster pumps & submersible, which is primarily submersible well pumps.

Delivery pumps are used to move water from one place to another. Some are capable of high pressure while others are intended mainly for moving large volumes at low pressure (such as moving water from a cistern to a stock watering tank). Flows can be small (1/2 gallon per minute or so) up to 30-40 gpm. Some are often used for pressurizing water systems in homes, RV's, and boats
