Renewable Energy Options
Whether it’s Solar Energy, Wind Power, Geothermal or a combination of the three… SunRise Solar and Wind can assist you in selecting the ideal system to meet your needs.
Our services include simple starter-systems to full-scale turn-key renewable power operations which include consultations, installation, service and repair.
Solar Systems
Solar Electric
Virginia offers abundant amounts of sunshine, in fact we get more than California and almost as much as Florida (95%). We can help you harness those rays and convert them to energy.
Solar Electric Installing a Solar Electric System on your home or business has never been easier or more affordable. For what ever reason your interested in a solar system: Going Green, a hedge against future energy cost or for your own security. We at SunRise Solar and Wind can assist you in very way. The Technology and Federal Credits have never been better.
Grid-Tie System, Solar panels, Inverter & the Power company (net meter) Simple, Easy and Mainstream. When the sun shines your making electricity same power as the utility company (actually cleaner power). If the sun is shinning you are using power to meet your needs (load) you consume your solar power and if your load is greater than what your making utility power supplies the balance. If the sun is shining and your not using any power… your power meter is turning backwards. Nighttime the utility power is supplying your needs.
DC System w/batteries, Solar Panels, Controller, Monitor & Batteries. This system allows you to charge a battery and uses power when needed. Boat, RV or Remote home, Lighting, Remote monitoring or communication.
Stand alone DC/AC system are larger than the above mentioned systems. This system allows you the option to run some loads DC water pump, lights and some or all your loads through an inverter. Includes Solar Panels, Controller/monitor, Batteries (battery bank) and an DC to AC Inverter. For your home, boat or RV.
SOLAR 101 Direct DC system Solar panel and fan or water pump. When the sun shines the pump or fan is working. Attic or crawl space ventilation or pond pump.
All the systems mentioned above were the foundation (95%+) of the Solar Electric industry (plus NASA Satellites) up and until the 21st century. When GRID-TIE inverters became more affordable and now in America and the rest of the western world Grid-Tie solar Systems are 90% of the market.
Solar Hot Water
Solar Hot Water is one of the most cost effective ways for a home or business to harness Solar Energy. Heating hot water consuming as much as 30% of a household’s energy budget.
Solar Batch Hot Water is known as passive solar hot water heaters are self-contained, single unit systems that integrate the solar collector and storage tank. In most applications, it functions as a pre-heater to an instantaneous or conventional water heater gas or electric. We plumb it in giving you an option to by-pass your conventional hot water heater in the hotter months of the year.
Evacuated Tube Solar Thermal Collectors. Works well in all climates. Individual tubes (25 or 30 in our systems) heat up then at the top heat is transfer to a liquid and pumped to a heat exchanger in your hot water storage tank. A well-designed Solar Hot Water system should be able to meet 80% of your hot water needs. A good back-up system is for continuous cloudy days in February or when there is a need for 10 showers in a row.
Wind Power
Man has been harnessing the wind since the beginning of time sailing the seas, pumping water milling grain and now you can harness the wind in your own backyard. 10 MPH or greater annual wind speed is when wind starts making sense. Weather you have a boat, remote home, a grid tie home or business consider harnessing the wind.
Horizontal Axis (3 blade) units require clean wind and work best when they are sited 20’ above anything within 200’ radius.
Vertical Axis turbines handle wind gust much better and can be located much closer to the ground.
SunRise Solar and Wind offers both technologies.
Horizontal AXIS (3 blade) from 200 - 5000 watts boats & remote power needs (homes), grid tied from 2400 watts to community power 100,000 watts.
Vertical AXIS 1200 watts.
Call us or stop by our showroom to see both our units working.
Geothermal
Utilizing the constant temperature of the earth to heat and cool homes and businesses, Geothermal uses up to 70% less energy than conventional systems. Stay cool for less… we can help.
