We’ve had our first cold snap and the official season of pumpkin spice everything has begun! But one thing that hasn’t cooled off is solar in Idaho – WOW!

The RENW team completed another item on the renewable energy bucket list!
This installation was on our first off grid home and uses 4.8 kWts of Photo Voltaic solar feeding into a lithium battery set up. The energy is then converted into AC power to run a typical panel box.

Previously the home had an electric water heater which can consume at least 4,500 watts of power until the water is hot – not very efficient!

The solar hot water system we installed consumes just 60 watts! 4,500 > 60 Any questions?
You don’t have to be in a remote location to benefit from year round savings on your energy costs, leaving us to wonder why doesn’t everyone have solar hot water!?
Even just one panel heats enough hot water for a family of 4!  Curious to see how solar can help you save? Please call for a FREE solar site assessment today 208-577-6537

The RENW team has really been going big this month and we love the great solar thermal customer feedback we’ve been receiving! From folks paying 40% less on their energy bills compared to the same month the year before to others happy about the fast return on investment for their dollar.

Our 2 panel Solar HVAC solution is our most popular system with it’s high efficiency and low install cost, which typically returns payback within 6-8 years. In addition to other energy incentives you also receive a 100% deduction on Idaho State taxes over 4 years.

The RENW team rocked out another great project – and it was a big one! Four 30 tube panels for hydronic heating for a community center. They will be enjoying the savings on their energy costs as well as the warm comfort of solar thermal for years to come! Are you ready to experience the savings that are possible with solar yourself?

Winter is here! We’ve already begun to see significantly low temperatures here in the Treasure Valley, and some are saying we may be in for a wet cold season.
That means shoveling the drive, blowing snow off the walks, salting, and all the chores that make Winter time even less fun…unless you have solar walkways and drives from Renewable Energy NW!

Whether you just have a small residential walkway at your home, a drive way, or even a large path or parking area for your business we can put the power of solar thermal to work for you. Radiant solar floors are great for indoors as well and work great as part of a whole home holistic energy solution to help you save on energy costs. The savings on energy costs are immediate and there are still some great incentives as well with the federal tax credit at 30% of the installed cost and Idaho state having as much as a 100% deduction over 4 years in some cases.
