several renewable energies
Monday, March 17th, 2008
While we have several customers that are employing renewable energy systems comprised of two different technologies (PV and wind, PV and geothermal), we now have one customer who has three technologies working hard on a daily basis. This home outside of Cheyenne started with a PV and wind system about a year and a half ago. The system is grid-connected, although includes battery backup to help reduce the impact of their frequent power outages. Late this winter we added more PV and last week a solar thermal system, the latter of which should produce nearly all the owner’s domestic hot water needs. They will now only use propane for cooking. This system was entirely retro-fit, demonstrating the ability of renewable energy to fit into almost any existing home. We applaud this customer’s commitment to renewable energy and energy independence.
