Solar estimate and analysis.

Solar Energy
• The sun supplies a tremendous amount of free energy that can be used through technologies such as solar photovoltaics, solar pumping, solar thermal, and solar lighting.

For more information on solar energy, visit US DOE Solar Energy Technologies webpage:
www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/photovoltaics.html

Geothermal Energy
• Geothermal energy uses the steady temperature (~55ºF) from the earth to heat or cool air or water in buildings. Tapping geothermal energy is an affordable and sustainable solution to reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, and the global warming and public health risks that result from their use.

We partnered with WaterFurnace® - "Smarter from the Ground Up"™ www.waterfurnace.com to draw and manage the energy. Will decrease annual costs for heating & cooling, and hot water by up to 60%/yr. WaterFurnace® can be paired with a variety of other energy and water conservation products.

Wind Energy
• Contemorary wind turbines are both small and attractive in stature and extremely efficient at converting the wind stream into a clean, free source of electricity. And in areas with a good average wind speed, modern wind turbines are reliable and offer a good return on investment. They are especially suited to coastal areas and farmers.
