Renewable Energy Makes Idaho News

We are passionate about the community we live in, as well as the people we serve, and we love our great country! As such we want to see only the best choices made for the future of all. Renewable Energy NW LLC owner Carl Simpson put together a few personal thoughts in a recent letter to the editor and we wanted to be sure to share it with you here:

The story of energy is one of evolution, and American innovation has always been crucial to it. As consumers, businesses and public governments increasingly look to lower-carbon options, I’m glad the U.S. will continue to be at the forefront of new clean energy technologies thanks to smart thinking from Congress.

In the final days of last year, leaders in Washington passed the Energy Act — a major infusion of cash into clean energy innovation (like solar, wind and storage) over the next five years. It came on the tailwinds of other important progress for American clean energy innovation right here in Idaho: $10 million in federal funding to support a partnership between Idaho National Laboratory and Xcel Energy. Together they’ll transform our knowledge of hydrogen and potentially the nuclear energy industry as we know it.

Clean energy is a powerful economic development tool and job creator here in the Gem State as well as nationwide. Beyond that new advancements have made clean energy among the most cost-conscious options for consumers. Senator Crapo and other leaders’ sustained commitment to innovation will continue its trajectory and contribute to a more resilient and affordable U.S. power system.

With a focused approach towards energy efficiency first then renewable energy we can make sound economic decisions for clean energy that make cent$.

Carl Simpson, Star

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.

Invest In Your Energy Future!

IDAHO! The time to start saving is NOW!
That’s right, right now – with whole home energy solutions from Renewable Energy NW LLC!

Solar thermal itself is one of the most efficient forms of renewable energy at over 94% efficiency; it is just one of the methods we employ to help lower you overall home power load.

Because we look at the big picture of how you use energy in your home, instead of just measuring your roof to see how many solar panels can be crammed into it, we know that your needs can change over time. As such it is wise not to rely on just one system to handle all of the work; so we combine things like long life light bulbs, vibration free attic fans, and even solar thermal cooling to provide year round solutions for your home now and into the future.

What this provides is not only energy savings that you will see right away but also an investment in future power security for years to come! Best of all, should you decide to sell your home down the road you will be happy to know that homes with solar tend to not only sell 20% faster but also for higher value. But don’t go thinking that these solutions are something you can only have if you’re building new – no way! – we can help any home old or new start saving with the power of the sun!

Get in touch today for your FREE solar site visit to find out more about all we can do to help you start seeing a savings with solar today!

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!

More Than Just Solar!

At Renewable Energy NW LLC the services we provide go beyond just solar power for your home, even beyond just solar thermal hot water! When you make the decision to switch to renewable energy with us you set your path for a brighter future – not just for you, but for those who come after you as well.

The solutions we provide start with saving you money today, but you will get all the enjoyment of readily available hot water and energy powered by the sun while you own your home, and when it comes time to sell or to pass that home along. You will be pleasantly pleased to find that the improvements you’ve built into it with us have not only added tremendous value to your resale price, but will add value to the home for years to come for the next owner too.

We’re excited to be able to provide whole home energy solutions to reduce your power bills and increase your enjoyment of your home! While many solar companies are only concerned with how many panels will fit on your roof we instead begin by looking at all the ways we can cut your home energy load before adding any solar. In many cases that may be adding an attic fan, or even just changing the lights you are using, as part of a comprehensive plan to get your energy bills down.


Don’t let worries about big install costs scare you away! Solar is more affordable than ever and we always start with how much technology is needed to fulfill your needs, not a bottom line. Get in touch today for your FREE solar site estimate to learn how we can help you start saving and building a brighter tomorrow, today with solar!
