Randy is happy to offer several different product lines designed to fit all budgets. We are very confident in the quality of all these products.



WE ARE FINALLY GETTING SOLAR OFF THE GROUND!

Spring 2007, we are happy to announce our full offering of solar hot water heating systems.


The Viessmann Vitosol 300 evacuated tubes are the highest quality available on todays market. Click here to view detailed information.

"At Viessmann we are committed to environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes and green heating solutions. Our solar heating products are the result of more than 30 years of experience. More than 2 million Viessmann solar collectors have been installed in Germany alone. With a Viessmann solar system you are making an investment for the future. Not only because you are preserving valuable fossil fuels and reducing emissions, but also because Viessmann solar collectors, like all of our products, are highly efficient, long-lasting and of quality construction."



  



  


Here are a couple of our vacuum tube installations.


Viessmann also makes a high quality flat plate collector, the Vitosol 200-F.



  


The Vitosol 200-F flat plate solar collector is attractive not only for its low investment cost but also for the energy it saves. With the new high efficiency Sol-titanium coating solar energy harvest is now even more efficient. Durable, corrosion resistant construction using materials such as powder coated aluminum, copper and stainless steel, as well as 3.2 mm special low-iron solar glass ensure a long service life and maintain high efficiency for years to come.


  
  

This is a recently-completed installation of twelve 200-F Vitosol panels mounted in a horizontal position.



 
Buderus has finally brought to the United States their solar systems.
These systems integrate seamlessly with the many Buderus systems we've already installed. Buderus brings to the market some of the best German engineering available. Click here for detailed information.

Apricus is a global company focused on providing simple and effective solutions for families and businesses concerned about the effects of climate change and rising energy costs. Apricus solar thermal systems are widely used in both residential and commercial applications to provide hot water, space heating, industrial hot water and even air-conditioning. Installing just one Apricus solar thermal collector can reduce CO2 levels as much as planting more than 200 trees and is the perfect choice for people wanting to become part of the SOLUTION by reducing their carbon footprint.

In May of 2008, Randy was invited to the Caleffi facility in Milwaukee to attend a round-table discussion with a dozen other solar contractors from across the United States, to help Caleffi develop their solar offerings in the USA.




  


As attitudes around the world become "greener," consumers are looking for cleaner, more efficient and cost-effective ways to satisfy their household energy needs.

One ray of hope is solar energy. Available in abundance, more sunlight energy falls on the earth in one hour than is used by the entire global population in one year.

More than ever, products are available to harness that energy and turn it into a viable power source for consumers - particularly to heat the water in their homes. Because solar water heaters deliver the highest number of watts per energy dollar spent compared to other solar options, they're a wise investment and a natural first step in making your house more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
