Solar Power
Solar electric modules, or photovoltaic modules, are made of silicone crystals which convert light energy into electricity. Solar modules used in home power systems are based on the same technology you have seen in solar calculators, but on a much bigger scale. Many families have enough sunlight hitting their roof to power all of the electric loads in the home!

Wind Power
Where it is practical to install wind generators, or wind turbines, they can be a very cost effective option. Ideal locations have sustained moderate to high winds and large open areas of land for the installation. Wind turbines can be used effectively in grid tied or off grid systems.

Grid Tied - What is "Grid Tied"?
This is a 3kW residential grid tied solar array. The roof of the home is flat, so the solar modules are mounted to racks fixed at an angle to maximize sun exposure (insolation) and energy production. The home is located in San Luis Obispo city and served by PG&E. The California Energy Commission paid a rebate of over $9000 to offset the cost of the system, and the home owner will see a $40 to $50 reduction in their power bill each month. The home owner will also receive a state tax credit, recouping a portion of their up-front costs. The array consists of eighteen 165W Sharp solar modules with a Sunvista inverter.

Off Grid - What is "Off Grid"?
This is a single Kyocera solar module installed off grid in a small community in Roatan, Honduras. Through the charging station located inside the shed, the module charges batteries which provide lighting for 6 families. Most of the people using the solar charged batteries have never had electric lighting in their homes before. The batteries can also be used to run DC pumps to bring water from a well or spring to cisterns near the houses.
