Save Your Toes Before The Snow Blows!

Winter! Is! COMING!
Fuzzy caterpillars, old bones, and everything in the sky is saying we’re in for another big winter here in Idaho! While no one can predict the weather with any real certainty, especially in 2020, one thing we can say for certain is that solar thermal will not only help you save your frosty toes this year it can also help you save on your energy bill.

First, our Renewable Energy NW team takes a look at your homes current energy costs – or projected ones if you’re still building. From that we make a comprehensive plans based on your energy needs and start putting the pieces together based on that need and your budget. See, we understand no two homes are the same and as such no cut copy solution will work for every home. Thankfully we do a lot more than just measure your roof to see how many panels it will fit – we do solar thermal like few others in the world, but it is only part of our whole home energy solution!

Sound expensive?
Don’t worry! We know all of the best incentives and plans to keep costs as affordable as possible. ANY investment in your home has costs up front, the real question at that point becomes is it worth that cost. Solar thermal and our renewable energy solutions have some of the highest – and fastest – payback of any home upgrade and best of all you will start seeing the savings on your first power bill.

Have questions?
Let’s talk! We love chatting shop with folks here in Idaho because we are passionate about what we do – and that’s helping people save on their energy costs! Give a call to 208-577-6537 today and get your own free solar site estimate scheduled.

Bringing The Sunshine To Help You Save!

We’re living in interesting times!

Nonetheless, the world keeps turning; we’re fortunate to be able to continue helping people in Idaho and throughout the Northwest save on their energy bills by harnessing the power of the sun!

What’s even better is that we do more than just solar – and that means we can help you save even more – because what we measure out success by providing solutions, not by the numbers of our product sales.

Here’s some details from a recent install as an example:
We installed solar thermal radiant floor heating and cooling – the most efficient system for heating and cooling – in this 4,200 Sq Ft home by Northern Construction. In addition to the solar thermal, this home will also have 10 Kw of Solar PV.

The estimated annual cost for energy for this home is just $750 !

Got a big shop or commercial space? Not to fear! The RENW team is here!
We can help you save with solar no matter what size project you have.

We’ve installed on a wide variety of home sizes as well as huge dairy and other commercial applications. Just take a look at this massive 6,000 Sq Ft building! We installed these panels vertically to make the most of available direct light as well as to keep the roof clear.

You Won’t Find A Solar Calculator Here!

Lots of Idaho solar companies are excited to have you visit their website, give up your contact info, and use their “solar calculator” in order to get an accurate quote on how much solar you need and how much it can help you save…sound great doesn’t it?

There’s only one problem: not every house is the same! So how are they providing a real estimate?

It’s easy, because they aren’t!
They aren’t looking at your home, your energy needs, or anything else other than the size of your roof in square feet and how many solar panels they can squeeze into it.

Unfortunately, not only does this end up costing you more from the outset but it can even end up costing you for years to come! What happens when years from now you make other changes to your home? Maybe you install draft preventing double pane windows, or switch all your lights to eco-friendly bulbs….suddenly your home is needing 30% less energy but you’ve still got all those panels up there pumping it out.

While the power company is happy to have you helping them power the grid, this also means that the energy you’re paying to collect isn’t doing you as much good! We believe there is a better way.

We start by looking at the energy load your home currently requires. We look at everything inside and outside of your home to see what things can be improved upon to provide better energy efficiency long before we ever start measuring out your roof space. See, over the years we’ve developed knowledge that allows us to look at the bigger picture of your home’s power needs and by doing this we can give you a truly comprehensive whole home energy solution. This can mean the different between two panels on your home versus ten, and that equals thousands of dollars that stay in your pocket before we even begin work!

We would love the chance to show you all we can do – including solar thermal and beyond! We are confident that we will be able to offer you a plan for your home to help you start saving on your energy bills right away and for years to come! Schedule your free solar site visit today!

Solar Thermal: Questions About Cost

It surprises us that many people are still not familiar with solar thermal technology and often compare it to traditional solar photo-voltaic.

This is especially interesting because solar thermal is actually the older of the two solar technologies!

To help dispel some of the common misconceptions about solar we’ve put together this quick graphic so you can see the differences at a glance.

Now, this isn’t to belittle solar PV! We have worked with it as an accompanying technology in the past with great success, and we believe it is through comprehensive use of multiple methods that you get the most benefit.

The biggest differences between the solar thermal we offer and solar PV is that solar thermal heats the water/liquid directly whereas PV creates electricity which then heats your water. Either one works, but when it comes to water heating solar thermal simply can not be beat!

Price too high? Not enough ROI?
These are all things we hear when people want to down talk solar and fact is when it comes to solar THERMAL these things are even less of a concern! Fact is, solar thermal from Renewable Energy NW has one of the fastest paybacks of any alternative energy; best of all you will see immediate return in the form of lower energy bills even before the system is paid off!

Are there up front costs? Yes! But that’s true of ANY investment.
After you’ve already enjoyed years of low energy costs and have your system paid off you can still see more returns should you decide to sell your home – as much as $20,000 in some cases! Ready to start saving? Let’s talk!
