Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems

All of these systems have their own requirements that determine the best locations for their use but there are yet many situations where using multiple systems or what is known as Hybrid systems offer a far greater versatility and power.

First Steps in Switching to Renewable Energy

The very first thing in either case which will be required is a complete solar or wind site assessment performed by a (NABCEP) North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners site assessor.

Wind Turbine Generator Power Ratings

Make sure the wind required for the power output matches wind speeds at your installation site.

Wind Turbine Generators are a fantastic means of generating your own power for a wide array of uses and despite their costs they still have a very good ROI in a reasonably short time period.

Wind Energy Considerations

To be sure, there are of course several locations where quality winds can be relatively closer to the ground and typically they are located in well known wind corridors around the world.

Grid-Tie -vs- Off-Grid Solar Considerations

Grid-tie configurations do have their advantages however and the largest of these is the reduced time in which it will take to realize your return on investment.

Government Renewable Energy Incentive Requirements

The reasoning behind this seemingly forensic analysis that your states Department of Energy applies to every renewable energy incentive and even more so on the systems you plan to use these funds to purchase is very straight forward.

Energy Conclusions

The choice is yours and for as much as it will cost for all of us to make these desperately needed changes it will still not come close to equaling what our dependence on carbon based fuels has cost us in money, lives and devastation suffered worldwide. Choose wisely!

Renewable Energy Incentives

Cash Savings and Earnings

On average homeowners who make these system purchases and installations can also expect a $3 to $5 return on their investment for every dollar spent on these improvements. This in most cases can equate out to tens of thousands of dollars in property value increases or more depending on the actual systems installed and invested in.
