Wind Turbines
Wind is one of earths most abundant and untapped renewable resources. These previously complicated and costly systems are now becoming simple and affordable. Our region is considered a "high-wind" region and can boast excellent returns on investment with even small wind systems. Though wind systems have been traditionally controversial for home use, with current state and federal incentives, anyone who can take advantage of a $20k tax credit can enjoy very aggressive pricing and rapid return on investment.
Solar Photovoltaic
Though solar electric harvesting has been available for years, it has traditionally been very expensive and impractical for general use. The recent government green push has encouraged the industry to focus on this endless source of renewable energy. Despite the above average cloudy weather in this region, modern solar systems are now capable of producing power on par with consistent sunny climates such as California. In addition, our region currently has better tax incentives that help create a shorter return on investment to match the resource of the geography.
Solar Water Heating
Solar water heating systems have the least upfront cost, and can boast a rapid return on investment of only 1 to 2 years for current petrol fuel users. Natural gas users can still see a 3 to 4 year payback. Even with overcast days, solar hot water works consistently, and even produces from areas in shade. Modern solar water heating systems can acquire stored water temperatures of 180 degrees Fahrenheit. These systems have many applications including but not limited to pool heating, geo-thermal super charging, domestic hot water, radiant heating systems and supplementing other water storage systems.
Geo-Thermal
This highly efficient method of water conditioning uses ambient ground temperature to regulate water system temperature. In New York State this translates to and average 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Installing a geo-thermal system can produce dramatic results in efficiency by pre-conditioning your systems water and prolonging the life and efficiency of your heating and cooling equipment by reducing the load and the thermal range of operations. Geo-thermal systems are also an integral part of creating any net-zero energy system.
