Why should builders adopt to solar systems?
When you use the solar systems in your construction, it will differentiate your business from the other builders
People and the competition see you as a leader in the environmental stewardship which will build you an image among the public
Increasing Energy costs requires an alternate cost effective system; Federal, Provincial and Municipal rebates and incentives makes it a more economical system
More and more people are concern about the environment and they will be happy to get the alternate energy system because it will be less expensive to integrate the solar system into construction than adding it later
Solar Energy systems require less maintenance and last longer, best answer to rising prices in the long run
There are three product line solutions that are available to builders to benefit their customers
Water Heating System – Known as Solar Domestic Hot Water (SDHW) systems, which will produce enough solar energy to reduce the backup energy by half for a family of four
Air Heating System - least expensive - way to preheat outside air for residential applications is through the use of a perforated-plate absorber or a solar air heating system, such as the Solar-wall
Photovoltaic System - Photovoltaic power systems allow you to harness the sun's energy for many purposes. These systems are a very reliable and clean source of electricity that can suit a wide range of applications
Benefit from Water Heating System
A solar water heater reduces the amount of fuel you need to heat water because it captures the sun's renewable energy
Many solar water heaters use a small solar electric (photovoltaic) module to power the pump needed to circulate the heat transfer fluid through the collectors. The use of such module allows the solar water heater to operate even during a power outage.
There are Seasonal and Year around systems available and can be offered to customers based on their requirements
Benefit from Air Heating System
preheats make-up air, thus reducing heating costs
improves indoor air quality
relatively easy to install or retrofit
increases the R-value of the existing wall and reduces insulation costs
virtually maintenance free, with no liquids or moving parts other than the
ventilation system fans
Benefit from Photovoltaic System
They are safe, clean and quiet to operate
They are highly reliable
They require virtually no maintenance
They operate cost-effectively in remote areas and for many residential and commercial applications
They are flexible and can be expanded at any time to meet your electrical needs
They give you increased autonomy – independence from the grid or backup during outages
