hot water array mounted on the roof and a 1.6kW solar electric array
mounted in an awning style on the south facing wall of the home. The
solar electric awning is strategically sized and placed to provide both
active and passive solar design for this building allowing full sun
exposure to the interior space in the winter months, and cool shade
during the summer months.</P>

solar hot water system is providing this family of four with most of
their domestic hot water with an additional zone provided to send any
excess heat into their radiant floor heat distribution system. The heat
and hot water is backed up by a Seisco Electric Boiler. A wood cook
stove provides central heating and cooking for this 1200 square foot
home. Propane is only used for cooking when the fire is not burning. The
Tipton's estimate they will use on average 25 gallons of propane each
year and one cord of wood to meet most of their heating and cooking
needs.</P>

house was built small in size on purpose, so there is less house to
heat. There is one bathroom, and utilities are kept to a minimum. Ben
Tipton says that "the small size of the house limited our use of natural
resources, provides for a way to reconnect the family unit and greatly
decreased maintenance costs."</P>

was out cutting some siding; when I triggered my saw I noticed my meter

worth every penny spent on this house. Thank you all."</P>

to design and install a 7.56 kW grid tied solar electric system as well
as a 300 tube solar thermal system. The solar electric, or PV system,
consists of (36) 210 watt panels and is utilizing one inverter to
produce approximately 10,000 kilowatt hours of clean electricity every
year.</P>

system is connected to the utility grid, a second meter tracks the
electrical consumption provided by the solar panels. If the system is
producing more electricity than the company is able to use at any given
time, they will receive a credit on their next bill. That credit will
carry forward for up to 12 months or until it is used. The solar thermal
system generates 55,000 BTU's of clean energy annually, offsetting
approximately 500 gallons of oil. The solar thermal system provides heat
for the domestic hot water used in the sinks, and also provides hot
water for the radiant heat distribution PV awning of the building. Both
systems combined will offset approximately 20,500 pounds of CO2 on an
annual basis. This is equivalent to the emissions released driving
50,000 miles in a medium sized car, or making 9 trips from Maine to
California and back.</P>

electric and solar hot water systems can be viewed as unique

say you want to reduce your oil consumption, and household carbon
footprint, by installing a solar domestic hot water system. The
installed cost for a system that will meet the demand of a 4-person
household is roughly $11,000. The federal government provides a $2,000
tax credit incentive for you to do this project and the state of Maine
provides a $1,000 rebate (unfortunately, this program is on a 'lottery'
basis, so it is not guaranteed that you will receive the state rebate).
In homes where an oil boiler is being used to produce domestic hot
water, the savings from the solar hot water system average about 300
gallons annually while CO2 emissions are reduced by more than 5,000 lbs.
per year.</P>

want to remind everyone that we do work all through out the winter. We
are able to do indoor work when the weather conditions are poor and save
the roof work for when the weather is more favorable. As always, please
call us with any questions you may have. We would be more than happy to
help you find a long term solution to your energy saving needs.</P>
