Solar Benefits

The benefits of renewable energy are numerous. First solar electric and solar water heating are zero emissions technologies. The operation of either sytem type releases no CO2 no greenhouse gasses; it's a clean source of energy. Also, by utlizing renewable energy sources where applicable, we can preserve the finite supply of fossil fuels for future generations. Finally, once you have installed a renewable energy system, either electric or water, you will enjoy the benefits of clean reliable power or heat without monthly payments.

Experience independence!!

It's been around for awhile!
The earliest forms of renewable electrical energy all involved gravity and water; the power house pictured atop the waterfall was built at the turn of the 20th Century. The water flowing downhill through a flume gained enough force to turn a turbine and generate electricity.

The next major step in renewable energy came in the form of the Photovoltaic panel(aka solar electric.) Conceived for the space program in the 1950s, the original methods of operation are still employed today. Manufacturing methods, however, continue to evolve with the pace of modern technology.
Today the products of renewable energy have reached a new level in the price competition with utilities. As renewable energy technology is more widely adopted, it has become cost effective anywhere powerlines would need to be extended more than 1/2 a mile, sometimes less.


Located near Telluride, CO.
Bridal Veil Falls was home to a hydroelectric power turbine. It was built around the turn of the last century.
