Wind, Solar and Small Hydro Power

Solar Energy

We offer a complete range of systems to include roof mount, ground mount, and tracking solar systems. Solar panels can be mono or crystalline type. Uni-solar panels are specially made to go on tin roofs with NO mounting rails!!

Costs:
Prices have dramatically come down on the panels, but so have the rebates here in California. Systems still cost MUCH less than they did 5 years ago by about 50%. Rule of thumb is about $4.50/ watt installed. No money down, or free Solar systems are available through a leasing option, where you have a utility bill reduced about 20% for 6 to 7 years, to pay off the lease, then receive 100% of the benefits of the system for the rest of the system life (25 years).

Renewable energy financing:
There are quite a few options to provide funds for your system. We can help you figure what is best for you. Contact us if you would like to learn more about financing options..

Land lease for Solar systems:
Yes, you can lease your land to a Solar provider to install a 100kw system and feed the grid. This option provides the customer with about $3200 per year for about ½ acre of land. There is NO other benefit to the land owner other than the lease payment. We install, fence, and maintain the system at NO cost to the land owner. At the end of the 20 year lease, the land owner has several options to include purchasing the system, upgrading it or having it removed at no cost. The property must have a 100kw or more transformer (on the utility pole) within 300' of the panel install area, and a Meter to feed the power.

Do-it-yourself:
Through the internet, and google earth, we can size and design a system for your location and ship the complete system to your location. Panels, mounting system, and all electronics needed, all in one simple, low price package from one place - EcoAdvantage Power Inc.

Solar PV System Prices:
Because all solar systems need to be designed speific to each installation, we offer a system price based on cost per watt. Solar panels, Roof mounting System, Inverters,  combiner boxes and wire to connect panels together.  These components sell for about $3.24 per watt.  Shipping and tax is additional.

Wind Energy

Ecobreeze Wind Turbines will change how you think about wind!

Ecobreeze Wind Turbines range from 1kw to 50kw. Our American designed towers are up to 120' tall, with some being self erecting towers, via tilting, gen pole or hydraulic towers.

Install yourself:
Our turbines can be installed by General and/or Electrical contractors. Packages of turbine, tower, inverters, control box, foundation kits can be delivered to your job site.

Determining wind potential:
You will need to determine that you have at least 4.7m/s of wind at 30m above ground. (Meters per second to Miles per hour is about 2.2 x ms = mph or 5ms = 11mph) Your wind potential? This link has TONS of information on wind power.

Location of your turbines:
EcoBreeze turbines are QUIET, but still should not be installed close to houses. A location of 5 acres or more is a good site to install an EcoBreeze wind turbine. Just how much noise do EcoBreeze turbines make? Hear it for yourself.

Small Hydro

Our small hydro generators can capture energy from low flow and low head (2' to 3'), or high pressure sources with a lot of fall. All can be self installed in any location. Installing them on AG pumps can capture the energy lost from the pipe outlet to where the water hits the ground.
