Solar technologies improve every day
** FHS solar in 1974:
Save 5-95% kWh / year to Net Zero
Where are you in this complex journey?
We jumpstart / restart your efforts
Solar energy is a powerful resource
Direct solar allows sun to heat a home through windows or heat a mass of water
Photovoltaics (solar cells) transfer sunlight into electrical energy with solar panels
Satellites use solar panels
Thermal electric energy is created by mirrors reflecting sunlight to heat water and / or create steam driving turbines to produce electricity
Solar use globally is expanding
Efficiencies of solar cells have increased and they are now less expensive
Replacing your battery powered calculator with a solar calculator reduces the need to buy batteries, saves energy and eliminates the environmental issues associated with battery disposal
