What is Solar?

You are probably already familiar with solar energy, which is essentially energy from the sun.

How Does it Work?

Solar systems utilize highly efficient collectors (panels). In a solar thermal process, a non-toxic fluid is used to collect and transfer heat which is stored in a solar hot water tank. In a solar electric (pv) process, individual silicone cells on the panels collect sunlight and turn
it into usable electricity. Click here to read more about solar technologies.

Why Do I Want Solar?

The solar thermal collectors that Mitchell Mechanical installs are specifically designed for northern climates and can produce enough solar energy to heat as much as 70% of the annual hot water requirements for a family of four. Unlike gas, propane and electricity, solar energy is free and by avoiding the use of fossil fuels, you will reduce your CO2 output.

Solar electric (pv) panels have become much more efficient in recent years. This technology allows you to harness sunlight to power your home with. No rate hikes, no dependence on fossil fuel and state and federal rebates for both solar technologies have finally made them attractive financially.
