Solar Photovoltaic energy systems convert the sun’s rays directly into electricity. Generally speaking, rooftop panels produce electricity for a residence or commercial building, with excess energy flowing into the electrical grid. Other exciting applications include golf carts, sailboats, and automobiles. Due to new federal, state, and local incentive programs, demand for PV systems is at an all-time high. |
 Under Construction Solar thermal energy systems harness the energy of the sun to heat water. Applications range from low-temperature systems typically used for swimming pools, to high temperature systems for industrial, commercial, and residential hot water needs. With so many applications for solar thermal energy, demand for system installation is growing every year. |
