Our Product
What
is solar? Solar is the power that
the sun
reates and heats our world.
We miss it in the winter and hide from it in the summer. We
have the ability to harness this mighty power to produce electricity,
cooling, and heating. Our product can produce cool ambient air,
and decrease pollution with no adverse environmental impact. It's the
type of energy that will accompany us to better lives.
Parabolic Solar Energy, Inc. uses proven solar
technology that has cost-performance. The use of thermal
technologies is not radically new technology. In fact, this type of technology
in the form of parabolic troughs, were demonstrated in California (Kramer
Junction) in the 1980s and is currently producing over 354Mw per hour,
enough energy to supply a population of approximately 500,000 in the
Barstow-Bakersfield area.
Independent studies are
available with objective details regarding solar as an alternative reliable
and affordable supply of electricity. Parabolic Solar Energy, Inc.
provides the very same thermal solar technology outlined as the "most
cost-effective way to generate electrical energy from the sun",
and the timing could not be better.
This form of renewable energy
from the sun provides an endless means of meeting the demand for power while minimizing
adverse impact on the environment, increased fuel diversity, and
hedging against fuel price volatility. Sufficient cost reductions and
advancements in thermal technologies means that we are now competitive
against conventional generating technology.
Cooling and Heating
Industrial Solar System
Solar thermal energy answers
industry’s need for efficient, economical and clean source of energy.

In California,
solar water heating systems will easily meet 100% of your water heating needs
in the summer months, and approximately 20-30% of your hot water needs in
the winter. On an average annual basis, solar water heating systems are
typically designed to meet approximately 60-70% of your home’s hot
water needs. Because we need hot water in the winter as well as the summer,
most solar water heating systems use gas backup during cloudy days. Solar
water heating systems come in two basic designs: active and passive
systems.
PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
PV
system is stand for photovoltaic system. The module is built from many
semiconductor units. Each unit has the ability to conduct current when it
absorbs sunrays. This feature of semiconductor enables us to build a power
plant for residential and commercial. The State and Federal encourage the residents
to install solar energy system in order to decrease the needs for fossils
and imported energy.
The
Incentive is depended at your location. Therefore each local electricity
supplier has its own rules.
We
can help you to receive your Incentive from the State.
PV
system will help you reducing your bill and save the environment.
Benefits
·
You build your own plant and enjoy current streams
even when outage occurred outside.
·

Active
Solar Hot Water Systems
Active solar
systems have circulating pumps and controls, and typically use
‘flat-plate’ solar collectors. These solar panels employ
insulated metal boxes, copper pipes with black absorber plates, and glazing
to produce hot water temperatures between 120o-140o F for domestic use.
Because these systems circulate water through the collectors, they are
better suited for producing large volumes of hot water. For that reason
active solar systems are generally used for larger homes, or for heating
pools and spas.
Passive Solar Water Heating Systems
Passive solar systems have no pumps, controls, or moving parts. Passive
systems come in two basic designs. One is the “Batch Type”
Integrated Collector- Storage (ICS), which operates on in-line water
pressure to move the hot water from the ICS to your domestic storage tank.
The other type is a thermo-siphon system which has a separate panel and a
well-insulated storage tank. These systems use the natural flow of gravity
to move the hot water into the solar storage tank located above the panel
on the roof. They typically produce between 60-80 gallons of hot water per
day. The simple nature of these systems provides the most reliable and
cost-effective solution for solar water heating on a smaller scale.
Multiple units can be connected together to make more hot water.
Payback on Solar Hot Water Heaters
Paybacks for solar water heating systems vary widely depending on the
amount of hot water you use, and in the case of electric water heaters, how
much electricity you use overall in your home. A solar water heating system
has a typical payback period of 8-10 years. However, the new baseline
limits for residential electrical consumption in California establish a tiered rate
structure that imposes much higher rates for “over-baseline”
consumption. A similar “excess” rate applies to over-baseline
use of natural gas. This can easily double the cost of electric water
heating (with rates as high as 33 cents per kWh) and reduce the payback
time significantly.
Space Heating with Active Solar Hot Water Systems
It is also possible to heat the interior space of your home with a
solar water heating system. The most efficient way to accomplish this is
with an in-floor radiant heating system. These systems send hot water
through pipes under the floor to warm the floor and heat the space. This is
one of the most efficient ways to heat your home. It’s clean and quiet, with no
fans or ducts to stir-up dust or pathogens, allowing you to maintain a
healthy environment in your home. While in-floor radiant heating systems
are more expensive to install (2-3 times the installation cost of
forced-air heating) the annual operating cost is approximately 30-40% less
than a conventional forced-air heating system. With these significant
savings in operating cost, radiant floor heating has a 5-6 year payback
compared to conventional forced-air heating. You can save even more with
solar-assisted in-floor radiant heating.
Solar Pool Heating
Determining the cost of pool heating
is very site-specific. A solar pool heating system has a typical payback
period of 2-4 years. There are several factors that affect the savings
realized with a solar pool heating system. These include your climate, the
size of the pool, your cost for natural gas, the pool temperature you wish
to maintain, whether you use a pool cover, the length of your swimming
season, your climate zone, etc. A utility company study monitoring the
amount of energy to heat a 500 sq. ft. pool in Santa Clara, California,
from May through September, at a constant 80° F used approximately 1200
therms of natural gas. For residential summertime tiered gas rates this
would approach $1,200 per year. For the same pool, a 400 sq. ft. solar pool
heating system would maintain the same or higher temperatures through the
same swim season. This system easily achieved a 4 year payback.

How
much does a Solar Water Heater Cost?
The
installed cost of a solar water heating system from Solar Depot ranges from
$4,500 - $6,500, depending on the system type and the difficulty of
installation. Although the upfront cost of solar water heating is more than
conventional water heaters, the operating cost is significantly less than
electric or gas heaters, saving you 60-70% on your annual water heating
bill.
How long do Solar Systems last?
A
properly designed and installed Solar Depot solar water heating system will
perform well for 30-40 years, depending on the type of system and how well
it is maintained. When considering an average 30-year life for a solar
water heating system, a 10 year payback really means 20 years of free water
heating, and protection against future increases in gas or electricity
rates. The real savings occur after the system has paid for itself and you
are able to enjoy the free energy produced by your system, when the cost of
energy from the utilities will have increased significantly.

A SOLAR THERMAL SYSTEM
|

|
|
Ten 4' x 8' glazed
solar collectors, with selective black chrome coating, heat 500 gallons of
water in a well insulated storage tank, which acts as the storage and
transfer medium for the thermal energy. A highly efficient LPG fueled
boiler provides the additional thermal demand of the house. The space
heating system consists of a radiant floor system. Motorized valves
controlled by microprocessors allow the system to switch between the solar
tank and the LPG fueled boiler, depending on the availability of solar
energy.
|
|
|
|
|
The house is
divided into 9 heating zones, each with its own thermostat. Naturally all
the heat collection and transfer pumps and the associated electronic
controls are powered by the PV via the inverter. In the summer, when space
heating is not required, the thermal energy collected is used to heat the
swimming pool and spa through another heat exchanger. Three energy
efficient, air-tight, wood burning fireplaces serve as a supplemental
source for space heating.
