Solar
To be considered for smaller systems
Solar energy is direct transformation of sunlight into electricity. Solar modules produce D/C current when exposed to sunlight. This D/C electricity is converted with an inverter into A/C electricity to be used by our modern appliances. It is also possible to store the D/C energy into batteries for off-grid or emergency backup systems.
- BC hydro still offers the most consistent power throughout the province and is green power produced right here in BC through their extensive hydroelectric dams around the province
- Solar might be you answer for your small off grid projects
- Unfortunately not all structures are near to reliable transmission corridors
- Through the use of Solar arrays (panels), having the nescessary aspect to the sun, newer inverter technologies, and more efficient baterry banks solar energy is becoming more usefull
- For your small cabin or cottage when suplimented with heat from other sources solar is a great alternative to running the generator, and is far cleaner a choice for the environment
