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
