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.

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.

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.


GAS POOL HEATER
INITIAL COST: $2,600
5-YEAR OPERATING COST: $6,000
COST OVER 5 YEARS:$8,600

 


SOLAR POOL HEATER

INITIAL COST: $4,500

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.
