Solar Power encompasses many different areas. The common feature of them all is that they take advantage of the free energy that the sun radiates every day, even when it is cloudy.

PV (photovoltaic) power uses collector panels to gather the energy then converts it into DC electricity. An inverter is used to change the collected DC energy into AC for immediate use. In order to store this energy batteries are required.

Solar Hot air systems use a dark surface to warm air that is circulated into the building. Most are self contained and contain thermostats to control the temperature and PV panels to provide the energy necessary to run the fan.

Solar Thermal systems have collector panels that collect solar radiation to create hot water that can be used for: domestic hot water, space heating, pool heating, industrial processes, and even air conditioning. All of the above are active systems.

Passive solar relies on the warming rays of the sun. We all take advantage of simple passive solar when we open our curtains and let the sunshine warm and light a room. Many years ago, nearly all houses were built with the broadest side facing south to take advantage of passive solar gain.

This energy has always been, clean, free, and abundant. It has never been the cause of a war or political manipulation. If unstable fuel prices are creating havoc in your budget process and impacting your profit margins, then solar power can be the solution. Plus you will be sending a clear message to your customers regarding your company’s commitment to improving the environment

We are proud to be the Infloor/Thermomax authorized dealer for Southern Maine. Their true evacuated tube solar thermal collector was designed to work in Northern environments. Solar power works fabulously in Maine provided you use the right type of collectors. A Solar Thermal hot water system will work with your existing system.
