Frequently Asked Questions

Tell me about Hybrid systems

Because hybrid renewable energy systems take advantage of natural cycles, their overall production is optimized.  This results in a smaller capital investment for equivalent annual power production.  Typically, the sun is not shining when the wind is blowing the most and conversely when the sun is at its strongest winds drop to a breeze at best.  Consequently, both systems can be downsized from what would be necessary if just one technology were to be implemented.  This phenomenon forms the basis for the name of our company.

I am on a limited budget. Can I afford any of these technologies?

If you can afford to make payments on a car, then chances are, you can afford one of these systems.  We offer financing for all systems we sell and install.

Is a wind turbine practical for me? The wind map shows my location as a low wind area.

The actual wind resource on your site will vary depending on topography and structure interference. And a localized site with good winds, such as a ridgetop, may not show up on the maps. Also, most wind maps are based very few data points, so the data is not necessarily accurate for locations between measuring points.  You should also be careful with wind measurements from airports because airports are often located in lower wind areas to protect aircraft.

If you need to have a firm understanding of your wind resource then you should consider performing a wind study.  We provide the equipment and analysis services to accomplish this task.  Contact us for more information.
