Fact - Each day the sun supplies the earth with about 500 times more energy than humanity could possibly use.
Myth - It’s a common assumption one must live in a warm climate with high sunshine hours to receive any benefit.
Fact - There is little difference in performance in climate conditions average daily sunlight across North America. The sun shines an average of 5.6 hours a day in Miami and Los Angeles, (Among the highest sunlight hours globally) while the city of Regina, Sask offers 4.5 - 5 hours. Southern Saskatchewan and Southern Alberta have the highest solar hours across North America. (See solar map) In fact, a cooler climate allows the collectors to harness more energy.
System Design - Some forethought must be given to areas that have more extreme climates such as ours. That’s where we “shine” in designing the system to provide peak performance in our local conditions. At Regina Geothermal & Solar Inc. we have the answer for you project. Contact us today.
SOLAR THERMAL (hot water)
Our systems are the most advanced solutions for solar water heating. Our solar collectors use the vast heat energy from the sun that would normally strike the roof or exterior wall and covert it into vast amounts of usable, renewable, free energy.
They are ideally suited for residential and commercial potable hot water applications, pools large or small, seasonal or indoor, as well as to supplement space-heating systems such as radiant floors or geothermal systems.
Solar thermal is one of most cost-effective and efficient type’s renewable energy available. Dollar for dollar, a solar hot water system is more affordable and provides up to 6 times the energy output than any other form of renewable energy.
SOLAR PV (photovoltaic/solar electric)
Solar electric systems use a technology called photovoltaic, or PV, that converts sunlight into electricity. Solar PV systems are reliable, require little maintenance, and generate no noise or pollutants. Solar power systems are typical fitted onto the roof of a building but can be incorporated into car port/parking structures, garages, walls, and many other installation methods. The best suited system will be determined by the site and the customer requirements.
We guide our customer through the entire process. Our product is not just the solar panels that we install, but the whole process of providing the appropriate Brand of Collector and wattage size for the application.
