An ideal and energy efficient situation would be to install radiant heating and cooling in a building, which would demand less energy from energy generation sources, in combination with a solar panel installation to meet the needs of the reduced energy demand. This reduced energy demand would allow a smaller, and less expensive solar system installation.

| What would be the next step towards energy independence? Plug a vehicle into the equation. Homeowners could opt to invest in an all electric or hybrid plug in vehicle that can be simultaneously charged over the night with the solar system's excess stored energy. This would save charging time during the day, and would ensure the electric/hybrid vehicle owner that her/his energy is coming from a clean source. Let us know what you think! |
