Did you know you can use solar panels for more than just generating electricity ⚡️?

By taking advantage of solar energy ☀️, you can reduce your water heating bill by 60% every year. Water heating accounts for 20 to 25% of overall household energy use, so installing a solar water heater can reduce your consumption by 12% or more!!!

Solar collectors can be installed on your roof to absorb the sun's heat and transfer it to a fluid that is protected from freezing and boiling. The fluid carries the energy to a pumping system, where a heat exchanger transfers the heat to your water supply 🔥💧. The solar-heated water is stored in a water tank and pre-feeds into your existing water heater. Your existing water heater acts as a back-up to ensure you always have hot water.

Learn more about the potential of solar energy for your home at our webinar on August 10 at 6pm! Sign up here: https://buff.ly/3BnAMT1

Thank you to all our clients for your continued patronage over this past year. The pandemic has been difficult for us all, and we appreciate you putting your continued trust in us.

Due to Ontario’s “stay at home” order effective April 8th, we are only able to provide emergency services at this time, with the expectation that both we and the client use proper PPE and distancing measures. Our response times may be delayed, so please be patient.

Sunny regards!

Perhaps the real reason we keep getting told that renewables aren't "feasible"? 🤔☀️

Imagine using this system to compare a year of powering and heating a home on grid electricity and natural gas, versus a home that uses solar energy to reduce impacts. More people would understand the financial and environmental benefits of renewable energy!

Making informed decisions about the products we use is a powerful tool in our drive to reduce our use of carbon. That's why we need carbon labeling.

We were excited when the Green Ontario Fund announced solar rebates coming this summer to help people with the cost of renewable energy for homes and businesses. Sadly, the new provincial government has cancelled the program outright.

Incoming premier says he will be watching every move they make, especially before a long weekend.

Solar energy is finally becoming part of the building code in Ontario! 🌞

https://www.bdcnetwork.com/OntarioCode2017?eid=330063369&bid=1842016

Changes to the Province of Ontario’s building code could include requirements for solar-ready roofs, more stringent heating/cooling efficiency requirements, and graywater reuse.

Solar thermal is alive and well! 5x more efficient than PV; still best way to use the Sun's heat energy.

An article written by Martin Holladay, “Solar Thermal is Dead,” was published by GBAGreenBuildingAdvisor.com on March 23, 2012, and another article titled “Solar Thermal is Really, Really Dead” followed it on December 26, 2014.

Moving away from coal (and all other fossil fuels) must be the path forward for our health and that of our planet.

A recent Fraser Institute report says there were minimal environmental benefits to Ontario getting rid of coal-burning power plants. But we disagree. Listen to our interview on CBC here: http://ow.ly/ugC9308hvOd

Emerging markets are leapfrogging the developed world thanks to cheap panels.
