Photovoltaicpanels Photovoltaics (PV) is a method of generating electrical powerbyconverting solar radiationintodirectcurrentelectricityusingsemiconductorsthatexhibitthephotovoltaiceffect. Photovoltaicpowergenerationemploys solar panelscomposed of a number of solar cellscontaining a photovoltaicmaterial. Materialspresentlyusedforphotovoltaicsincludemonocrystallinesilicon, polycrystallinesilicon, amorphoussilicon, cadmiumtelluride, andcopperindiumgalliumselenide/sulfide. Duetotheincreaseddemandforrenewableenergysources, themanufacturing of solar cellsandphotovoltaicarrays has advancedconsiderably in recentyears.

Pair New Technology with High Quality Insulation for Better Results Today’s homeowners are so fortunate to live in an age of technological wonders. Tankless water heaters, geothermal heat, even basic digital thermostats that monitor and moderate the temperature inside our homes – the trend in home technology is increasing comfort and energy efficiency simultaneously for a better living experience. Closed cell foam insulation can seal these leaks and minimize or stop the extra exchange of energy that may make your new appliances and systems work harder than necessary. The foam is environmentally conscious as well, made from renewable resources like soybeans, and unlike older forms of insulation which must be replaced (i.e. discarded) at least once every 10 years, it is applied for the life your home.
Centraldehumidificationsystem A dehumidifier is generally a household appliance which reduces the level of humidity in the air, usually for health reasons. Humid air can cause mold andmildew to grow inside homes, both of which pose numerous health risks. Very humid climates or air make some people extremely uncomfortable, causing excessive sweating that can't evaporate in the already-moisture-saturated air. It can also cause condensation that can disrupt sleeping, or prevent laundry from drying thoroughly enough to prevent mustiness. Higher humidity is also preferred by most pests, including clothesmoths, fleas, cockroaches, woodlice anddust mites.
