ReKnew offers
renewable energy systems that offset or replace grid electricity and the
burning of fossil fuels for house heating. You can achieve independence
from the utilities using the latest in technology and help keep
more man-made carbon from ruining the planet. You can do this all by
the choices you make in equipping your home. ReKnew wants to help
you install the amount of renewable energy system you can afford.
Whether it is installing more photovoltaic electric panels at a later
date in an on-grid house, or adding a system for domestic heating down
the road, we design systems that take this into account and can be
expanded as your budget allows.
Adding solar panels to your house gives
you a way to make clean energy -- independent of the utility company.
At the point where the efficiency of your house decreases your need for
power and the amount of power you generate from photovoltaics crosses,
you can achieve a $0 electricity bill from the power company. It is a
great feeling!
The nice thing about on-grid solar is you can choose how much you want
to do. And, with a properly designed system
you can add to your system
in the future when you decide to. We believe that with on-grid solar,
there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to do you can today and
more tomorrow.
On-grid
systems can be designed to include batteries in the system tied to the
critical loads of your house -- furnace, refrigerator, lights. ReKnew
can design systems that make you not only independent of your power
bill but protected from grid power failures as well.
If your home, cabin, second home or
remote commercial site is more than a few hundred feet from utility
power, you may already be aware of how expensive bringing power lines
to the house can be -- typically about $10 per foot. ReKnew has
experience working with off-grid systems and can design a system that
meets your needs for reliable power anywhere. Typically these systems
maybe cheaper or on par with bringing in power, with the added benefit
that investment is in making your power that you will never have to pay
an electric bill for.
ReKnew often designs hybrid systems for
off-grid that allow you to integrate a propane or bio-diesel generator
into the design. By doing so we meet our affordability standard --
letting you produce the most renewable power you can afford right away
and allowing you to reduce your reliance on burned fuels as your budget
allows in the future.
If you are not heating your water for
household or commercial use with a solar hot water system you are
missing out on a great investment. Solar domestic hot water systems pay
for themselves quickly and then start making you money. ReKnew can
design and install systems that will supply hot water, in-line with your existing hot water systems. ReKnew uses tested designs and components that will perform well in our northern locale.
Size up the collectors and other components of
a solar domestic hot water system and you have the ability to add a
water-based heating system to your house that will provide the comfort
of radiant heat while reducing or eliminating your oil or gas bill.
ReKnew designs and install systems that tie the technology of radiant
water heating to tested designs for solar water heating, in-line with
your existing system. The two technologies are a great fit together
allowing to burn far less fuel while still enjoying a comfortable home.
Solar hot air heating devices combine solar thermal collectors with
small photovoltaic panels and a small fan to provide space heating
similar to a side-venting heater. Rather than burning expensive
propane, these systems contribute convective heat to rooms allowing you
to lower your furnace's thermostat and save money. ReKnew sizes and
installs solar hot air systems and if you already rely on forced hot
air, we can design and tie larger systems to your existing system.
Solar
hot air systems are affordable and can start offsetting your winter
heating bills as soon you install one. Think of all the winter days
when it is brutally cold out and yet the sun is shining brilliantly.
ReKnew can put that sunshine to work for you.
 If
you have the right site, wind power can be a fantastic way to generate
renewable power. Relatively constant, good speed wind is required for
an efficient wind power installation. ReKnew will design and install a
wind power system that meets your needs and handle obtaining a
Certificate of Public Good and other permits that may be required in
your area.
