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 changes it into electricity.

Solar Hot air systems use a dark surface to warm air that is directly pumped into the building.

Solar Thermal systems have collector panels that use the energy to create hot water that can be used as domestic hot water, home heating, pool heating, and even air conditioning. All of the above are active systems.

There is also passive solar that 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.

Unless the government figures out a way to tax sunshine, this energy is free. If you are frustrated by unstable fuel prices and want to help reduce pollution levels and our dependency on foreign oil, then solar power is for you.

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.
