Price VS Adoption

Do we get enough sunshine in Maine?

Maybe not as much as the French Riviera but…

World Map of Solar Potential

Why Solar?If we converted 0.1% of our land mass to solar panels, we would have enough free energy to meet 100% of our electricity needs.

If we converted 0.1% of our land mass to solar panels, we would have enough free energy to meet 100% of our electricity needs.

How Solar Energy Works

1. Sun hits the solar panels, creating DC electricity

2. Solar inverter converts DC power into AC for household needs such as lights, television, computers, etc.

3. Excess power is sent to the grid, crediting your monthly bill

Air Sourced Heat Pumps

Solar + Heat Pumps = Low cost heating & cooling, zero carbon pollution

1. Outdoor unit extracts heat from ambient air and moves it inside

2. Indoor unit releases warm or cool air into home depending on the season

3. Connect a solar electric system to the Air Source Heat Pump unit and use the sun to power your heating and cooling!

Solar + Heat Pump Water HeatersHighly efficient water heating

• Provides hot water using roughly 1/3 of the electricity as a standard electric hot water tank

• Dehumidifies the basement during water heating process

• Highly insulated tank minimizes stand by heat losses

• Glass lined steel tank featuring a removable sacrificial anode with wear indicator

• Reliable German technology and manufacturing

Solar Electric Vehicle ChargingDriving on Sunshine

• 4 cents per mile for an electric Nissan Leaf versus 15 cents per mile to drive a gasoline powered sedan

• Just 9 solar panels provide enough energy to power your electric car for 10,000 miles each year

• A Level II Charging Station can charge your car in just 4 to 8 hours, depending on your car’s range
