In keeping with this month's theme of customer satisfaction and peace of mind, we would like to talk a little about testimonials. While it may seem unbecoming to toot one's horn we encourage anyone interested in our solar power services to peruse our list of client testimonials over at our website. Having a solar power system installed is a large-scale home improvement project and one that requires homeowners to be comfortable with both the company selling solar equipment and the equipment itself. A large financial investment like this should make every homeowner very wary and want to research every company that piques their interest.
For these reasons alone we have placed client testimonials on our website which you can view here. Not only can you see and read for yourself just how satisfied our clients are but you also have the opportunity to check out other pages and get answers to frequently asked questions and even information about solar rebates and tax credits. Moreover there's a large about us section at the website as well which contains plenty of background information on our company which should further help facilitate peace of mind in even the most cautious and selective consumer.
After visiting our website and reading her testimonials please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have about them or about any of our services or products.

How Solar Power Works
Homeowners interested in having a new solar power system installed often have a myriad of questions. These questions range from the very simple "what will it cost", the more complicated how does solar power actually work. While the technology behind solar power is anything but simple explaining how it actually works isn't overly complicated.
Essentially solar electricity works just as traditional electricity does. The only meaningful difference is in how the power is generated and delivered to your appliances. Through hydro and nuclear reactors electricity can be generated for home use and while these are traditional means of generating power, solar power is far more efficient and environmentally friendly because it simply collects sunlight and converts it to usable energy for your home. In fact solar power and traditionally generated power are so similar that homeowners won't notice anything different after the new system is installed except for a lower electricity bill.
The actual process itself is fairly simple as well. Sunlight hits solar panels and excites electrons within the panels which converts sunlight to usable electricity. While you may have questions about installation, cost, and even efficiency versus traditional power, this should help you understand exactly how solar power works in the simplest of terms. Should you be interested in purchasing a solar power system for your home or having remaining questions answered please feel free to contact us any time.

A Solar Power Gallery
With the rapid increase in the popularity of solar power one might surmise that everyone would know what modern solar power systems look like. This is not the case however as many individuals, even those with a big interest in solar power, know very little about what solar power systems look like nor how they actually operate.
Here at SolarGem we are not content to simply sell you a solar power system and walk away with your money. Superior products as well as great customer service are two of the things we aim to deliver 100% of the time. Part of great customer service is ensuring our customers and even would-be customers are educated in all things solar power. From the simple mundane details of how a solar power system actually works and benefits a home to the more curious "what will the system look like on/in my home" it is our goal to ensure that every individual that does business with us or wants to do business with us has answers to these questions.
This is why we have an extensive gallery of photographs online and accessible through our website. Feel free to browse through all our photographs and contact us with any questions you may have, we would be more than happy to answer them.

Solar Heating
So what’s solar heating you ask? A Solar heating system reduces the need for conventional water heating by about 2/3. Normally a solar heating system has two parts, a solar collector and a storage tank. The collector heats the water, then it stores the water in the storage tank until it is ready to use. A conventional system is set up in addition to the solar heating system in case additional heating is necessary.
They call these active and passive solar heating systems. The conventional system uses electricity and pumps to circulate the water. The solar heating system relies on gravity and circulates the water when heated. The solar systems are actually more reliable because they have no electrical components and are easily maintained and last longer.
The government agency that’s dedicated to energy efficiency says there are five elements that constitute a complete passive solar home design that generates solar heating: 1) the entry point of solar light (aperture); 2) their hard, dark surface of the storage element, (absorber); 3) the materials that retain/store the heat that the sunlight produces and distributes (thermal mass); 4) how solar heat circulates from the collection and storage points into areas of your house (distribution); 5) and elements to shade the aperture area during summer months, like roof overhangs (control). The control ensures that the house will be comfortable in the summer months.
Passive solar design can have total reliance on solar power, or partial use that will produce solar heat and it will depend solely on the geographical location and design. Other things that will play a key role in the passive solar design will be wind patterns, vegetation, topography, and even the amount of sunshine in the area, plus the performance of the building.
New construction can easily be designed with the passive solar design in mind. Even existing buildings can be retrofitted to meet the qualifications stated above.
It goes without saying that the solar heating systems will help the environment and will also provide savings to those who invest in the systems. The savings will be obvious as the electric company statements decrease with their use. Possibly in time even you can resell some of your power to the electric company that will be added benefits to the homeowner or business.
The U.S. Department of Energy publishes estimates to show exactly what we can expect when we invest in solar heating and how the systems impact the environment so we no longer depend on fossil fuel and conventional electricity.
