Something that people may not know is that solar energy can be used for both heat and electricity. Solar thermal devices use direct heat from the sun, concentrating it in some manner to produce heat at useful temperatures. Amazing options for residential and commercial properties are Syntonic solar thermal products. Shop here. When converted to thermal (or heat) energy, solar energy can be used to heat water for use in homes, buildings, or swimming pools. Also, to heat spaces inside homes, greenhouses, and other buildings. Lastly, it can be used to heat fluids to high temperatures for operating turbines to generate electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) or “solar cells” change sunlight directly into electricity. Individual PV cells are grouped into panels and arrays of panels that can be used in a wide range of applications ranging from single small cells that charge calculator and watch batteries, to systems that power single homes, to large power plants covering many acres. Check out our products and find which one is right for you!]]> http://syntoniccorp.com/news/solar-thermal/feed/ 0 SOLAR ENERGY FOR ZERO DOWN?

Understand Your Wind Resource. The most important aspect to consider in the construction of a wind energy facility is whether the area has a minimum annual average wind speed of 11- 13 mph. Local weather data available from airports and meteorological stations may provide some insight as to averages. You can also check the wind maps for your state on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory Web site. Eventually, you will want to install your own monitoring devices to record the site's wind characteristics. A listing of consultants specializing in wind resource assessment can be found at the American Wind Energy Association Web site: http://www.awea.org/directory/consultcde.html. More information on basic principles of wind resource evaluation can be found at http://www.awea.org/faq/wwt_basics.html. 2. How Far Is Your Site from Existing Transmission Lines? A critical issue in keeping costs down is minimizing the amount of transmission infrastructure that has to be installed. High-voltage lines can cost thousands of dollars per mile. Whenever possible, availability and access to existing lines should be considered in selecting a site. 3. Access to Land. Landowners will expect to be compensated for any wind energy development that occurs on their land. Royalty or lease agreements will need to be discussed with all parties involved. Roads, transmission equipment, maintenance infrastructure, turbines, etc. all need to be considered. Moreover, the construction of a wind farm requires the use of heavy industrial equipment so developers will need to ensure there are roads capable of handling significant weight. The planning phase requires cooperation of landowners and the local community. 4. Identify Reliable Power Purchaser or Market. Today, wind energy is one the most cost-effective renewable energy options on the market. In fact, the cost of electricity from a new wind project is now in a range that is competitive with the cost of electricity from new power plants of any kind. However, utilities will tend to purchase power from what they consider to be the cheapest and most reliable technology. There is a fast-growing demand for wind power as well. Demand for “green power” and environmental requirements are also creating buyers for wind energy at competitive rates. A developer should typically secure a commitment from one or more buyers for the plant’s output over 10-30 years of its operational lifetime. 5. Project Feasibility Considerations. A developer needs to consider many factors in starting a project. Are there endangered or protected species that could be jeopardized by the presence of the facility? Is the site's geology suitable and appropriate for industrial development? Will turbine sound and aesthetics be issues for the local community? Will the turbines obstruct the flight path of local air traffic? These are quite a few environmental and social issues that will need to be addressed in the sighting of a wind power facility. Wind farms can make great neighbors, but it is the obligation of the developer to work to ensure that a project proceeds in an acceptable fashion. 6. Understand Wind Energy's Economics. There are many factors contributing to the cost and productivity of a wind plant. Small differences in wind speed mean large differences in productivity and electricity cost. Additionally, the swept area of a turbine rotor is a function of the square of the blade length (the radius of the rotor’s swept area). An increase in blade length boosts energy captured and cost effectiveness. Financing methods can make a major difference in project economics as well. Securing significant investment capital or joint ownership of a project can cut costs significantly. There are federal and state incentives for which a project may qualify and which could reduce costs and encourage more favorable investment. For an online database of state and federal renewable energy incentives, go to http://www.dsireusa.org/. 7. Obtain Zoning and Permitting Expertise. Sighting any power project can be a daunting task due to the complex array of social and environmental factors at play. A wind power developer would be well served to obtain the services of a professional familiar with the regulatory environment surrounding wind power development. 8. Establish Dialogue With Turbine Manufacturers and Project Developers. Every wind turbine is different despite seemingly similar power ratings. Some machines are designed to operate more efficiently at lower wind speeds, while others are intended for more robust wind regimes. A prospective wind power developer would be wise to investigate all of the various considerations and compare the projected performance to existing machines. 9. Secure Agreement to Meet Operation and Management (O&M) Needs. Today's machines are more efficient and cost-effective than ever. On the other hand, they are also more complex. Turbine availability/reliability is a major factor in project success, and the services of professional familiar with the O&M of wind turbines can prove to be invaluable. Also, turbine manufacturers may offer more favorable product guarantees knowing that qualified project operators will be on site to maintain the equipment.

Well the time is right as there are multiple reasons why it makes sense now but also, it is important to know that the benefits of solar power for homes will increase over time. 1. SOLAR POWER FOR HOMES: SAVE MONEY EVERY MONTH AND FOREVER Solar power will save you money on electricity costs and protect you from future rate increases. Electricity rates are at an all time high and are showing no signs of going down. Switching to solar power for homes will increasing your financial independence by locking in your future electric bills. 2. SOLAR ELECTRIC INCREASES HOME VALUES Solar power for homes increases your home value and can save even more than the cost of the solar electric system itself. A 1998 study by ICF Consulting concluded that saving $1 per year on energy costs adds $20 to a home’s value. So, saving $1,000 per year increases a home’s value by $20,000. 3. THINK OF IT AS A CONSERVATIVE INVESTMENT In this current market, returns on your investment in solar power for homes may be higher than your other investments. These Massachusetts residents LuAnn Kuder and Maureen O’Brien found they “beat” Wall Street by investing in solar power for homes. Over the past 100 years, the stock market has returned just below 10% per year, on average. The return on investment for solar power for homes beats this, especially in states with high electricity costs. 4. FEEL GOOD ABOUT PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT Using solar power for homes means less “brown power” produced by utility companies which means fewer emissions, less pollution, and a cleaner environment. Most utility companies use coal and natural gas-fired power plants which emit greenhouse gases, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxides, radioactive materials, and heavy metals. So, power plants contribute to smog, acid rain, and global warming, affecting public health and our society’s future. 5. INCREASING NATIONAL SECURITY Installing a solar power for homes system reduces our dependence on foreign energy. There is no denying that the U.S. is becoming more and more reliant on foreign energy sources. The U.S. currently imports the majority of its energy supplies and has imported 166,270 million cubic feet more natural gas every year since 1985. 6. MONEY AND JOBS STAY AT HOME Supporting renewable energy in the U.S. helps to improve our economy by keeping money and jobs at home. These jobs get created when you make the decision to go solar. The study by Navigant Consulting demonstrated that almost half a million permanent jobs and $232 billion in investment would be supported by the solar energy industry alone if Congress extends the federal tax rebates for solar power for homes for 8 years. 7. REDUCTION OF YOUR DEPENDENCE ON THE POWER GRID Professionally installed solar power for homes systems are like a power plant on your roof, producing the energy you need. It’s clean, smart and efficient. As 67% of the energy in fossil fuels is lost when it’s converted to electricity, it is very inefficient. 9-10% is lost as heat when transported to your home. Using solar panels on your home avoids wasting energy or money because all the power you make is used right there in your home. 8. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOLAR TAX CREDITS With federal solar tax credits, the cost of your solar power for homes system is significantly reduced. Many states offer solar rebates as well, the most generous of which are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. 9. NEWLY AFFORDABLE AND BETTER TECHNOLOGY SOLAR OPTIONS As companies and local governments become better informed, solar power for homes is becoming more and more affordable. Companies and governments are innovating with financing and programs for homeowners to go solar. Whether this is a city-sponsored solar loan, a home solar service (PPA), or a solar lease, the various options becoming available reduce upfront costs.

The state Board of Public Utilities' decision came today — eight days after more than 1,100 people submitted their applications to the program on the same day, some after camping out to do so. For most of the past decade, New Jersey has offered some of the most generous incentives to persuade homes and businesses to use the sun's power to generate electricity. By 2007, the state trailed only California in the number of homes using the technology. Still, the total number of homes involved has remained modest. Last year — the biggest year for the program so far — 1,030 homes were equipped with solar equipment. Anticipating a rush would come eventually, the state divides its rebate fund into three pools so that not all the funding would be gone at the start of the year. Last month, for the first time, the money for one period was exhausted before a funding cycle ended. No applications were accepted between April 2 and May 3. When the new cycle began on May 3, there were fears that the money allocated between now and the end of August would go even faster as solar-installing firms ramped up their sales efforts. On the first day applications could be submitted, more than 1,100 arrived. Since then, another 125 have rolled in. The rebates are lucrative — just over $10,000 for a typical 7,500 watt system. That could cover around one-fourth of the cost of a system. BPU spokesman Greg Reinert said the BPU decided not to take any more applications until the next funding cycle begins Sept. 1. But all the eligible projects that were submitted will still get the rebates, he said, even if the amount surpasses the $6 million set aside for them. Money could be transferred from another fund, he said. Dave Llorens, CEO for One Block off the Grid, a San Francisco firm organizing groups of solar system buyers, said his company will keep working in New Jersey and encouraging customers not to wait until September to install their systems because the state still offers strong incentives for moving to solar. "It just went from great to good," he said. He said a second program offered in New Jersey can be an even bigger incentive. It awards certificates to people or businesses who generate solar power. The certificates can then be sold to utility companies who use them to avoid fines for producing non-solar power. ]]> http://syntoniccorp.com/news/n-j-halts-solar-power-rebate-program-as-funds-run-low-to-accept-applications-september/feed/ 0
