Solar Power and Renewable Energy

Lower your energy bills with lower power usage and less heat emission

Compact Fluorescent Bulbs are the perfect energy saver for the desert. Along with using less power than incandescent bulbs, they also do not give off the same heat that incandescent bulbs do. The main reason for this is incandescent bulbs waste over 50% of their power usage in heat. So what does this mean to you? Well in the summer time you will not be adding to the heat by lighting your rooms.

Concrete slabs, thin slabs and metal plates offer different ways of routing radiant heat underneath every floor in the home

Hydronic Radiant-Floor Heating has been in use for some time now. Hydronic Radiant-Floor Heating is the use of hot water passing through tubing in the floor to warm your home. Originally the tubing was made of copper, until the costs now to use copper has gotten very expensive. Now a polymer tubing referred to as PEX is used.

There are a few essential components to living with solar power. The components you need will be dependant on wheather you are grid-tied or off-grid. Grid-tied means that your solar panels are connected to your electrical box, and any power you do not use gets sold back to the power company. Off-grid refers to being completely disconnected from a power company, meaning you produce all the power yourself. Both of these methods require the use of solar panels, but being off-grid requires you to have more equipment.
