On Demand Hot Water Heaters from Sungate Energy Solutions Save Money and Energy

by Sungate Specialist on Aug.26, 2010, under Energy Resources, Saving Money, Solar

What is the benefit of an on demand hot water heater from Sungate Energy Solutions? Like the company name states, it’s a solution to save money and reduce energy use in your home. Unlike typical hot water heaters, an on demand hot water heater only produces hot water when it is necessary. Typical hot water storage systems store tanks of water at about 120° Fahrenheit all day and night; this requires more and more energy the cooler it is outside. This is one of the big ways your energy bill can soar in the winter. Also, the bigger your home is, the bigger your hot water heater tank will be and the more money it costs to maintain at 120° Fahrenheit.

How do on demand hot water heaters from Sungate Solutions save you money and save the planet’s energy?

On demand hot water heaters are also known as tankless hot water heaters. They are beneficial for the environment and your pocket book in several ways. The on demand hot water heater starts to work when you turn on a hot water tap. Cold water rushes through the pipes and either a gas burner or electrical unit heats the water for the duration the tap is turned on. Depending on your needs, the size of your home, and the number of hot water heating units you have in your home, determines the flow rate the on demand hot water heaters can supply, which varies from 2 – 5 gallons per hot water heating unit.

If you often use multiple demanding hot water amenities simultaneously, for example running the dishwasher, laundry machines, and/or shower at the same time, it would be a good idea to invest in a second hot water heater because it will stretch the hot water heaters to their limit, just like when the hot water storage tanks empty in a storage-based heating unit. You can even choose to install the on demand hot water heaters close to the appliances or fixtures that you them most in larger homes for the best results. This is added flexibility, unlike the stationary hot water storage unit that usually come with homes.

While conventional hot water heaters with storage units cost less up front, on demand water heaters from Sungate Energy Solutions will pay for themselves in energy cost savings over time. Your energy bills will be considerably lower than those of the conventional set up, and therefore off set the up-front costs in time. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a home that uses 41 gallons of water per day or less saves 24% – 34% of energy costs on each bill. For large homes that use a much larger quantity of water, around 86 gallons per day, the savings range from 8% – 16% on each energy bill. This shows that by making the green choice to be environmentally friendly, can also save you green in the long run.

Let Sungate Energy Solutions Help You Beat the Ever Rising Utility Costs

by Sungate Specialist on Aug.17, 2010, under Energy Resources, Saving Money, Solar

Inflation is pandemic and it manifests in almost all aspects of life including utility costs. Fortunately, when it comes to controlling or beating your rising utility costs things are not as daunting as they seem.  It just takes a few pragmatic decisions and you can reduce your utility bills by as much as 70-80%. Wondering how?

Sungate Energy Solutions brings you rooftop solar panels that can produce you electricity by using light from the sun throughout the year with no additional cost.  Once it is installed and configured the system costs you no money whether you use a single appliance or multiple appliances (provided it can support multiple appliances functioning at the same time).

The problem with your conventional electricity connection is that the cost goes up and down according to the usage. For instance if you watch the TV and use the food processor you are constantly incurring a cost for both the appliances.  If you switch off the TV then you’re not paying the electricity cost of keeping your TV switched on.  So the only way to save money is using less and less things that are powered by electricity.  Although there is nothing wrong in using less appliances (minimalistic lifestyle is fast catching up) it is sort of restraining if you’re constantly paying for the power use.

Sungate Energy Solutions can help you get rid of this problem.  No, it doesn’t advocate power pilferage.  It taps into the gargantuan power of the sun and produces electricity for your home or business establishment and it does that without any fuss.  The photovoltaic solar panels from Sungate Energy Solutions quietly reside on your rooftop, capture whatever light is available from the ambience of the atmosphere  and convert it into electricity.

Contrary to popular misconception you don’t need bright sun for the solar panels to work properly; any light would do.  This is because the photovoltaic cells work on the concept of converting light into electricity and that light doesn’t need to come directly from the sun.  The same concept is applied on those tiny calculators that you may have been using since the mid-80s.  You just need to expose them to some light source and they start working — you don’t even have to switch them off.  In the same manner the solar panels over your rooftop convert every light they get into electricity so that you keep on getting power even in cloudy weather.

So how do these solar panels help you beat the incessantly rising utility costs?  Once you have installed them you will be deriving 70-80% of your electricity from them.  Of course there is an initial installation cost but considering the amount of money you are going to save this is nothing.  If the seemingly prohibitive installation cost holds you back please rest assured: the entire cost can be recovered within a small period of three years and after that all the electricity that you get — at least in the portion being produced by the photovoltaic solar panels over your rooftop — is totally free.  Whether you are running a TV or a food processor or both together you don’t have to worry about incurring extra costs (these appliances referred to here just for example, you can run all the gadgets and appliances that are powered by your conventional electricity connection).

You still get the remaining 30-20% of your power from your conventional source because current technology doesn’t provide 100% reliance, although it will be possible in the very near future. Intrigued? Contact Sungate Energy Solutions today and we’ll provide the you all the necessary information.

Sungate Energy Solutions Show You How Your Roof Does More Than Provide Protection

by Sungate Specialist on Aug.12, 2010, under Energy Resources, Saving Money, Solar

Sungate Energy Solutions provides cutting-edge roof panels that can generate solar power for your household or business establishment even when the sun is not at its shining best. Wondering what are these roof panels?

As we rapidly move towards a time when we will either run out of fossil fuel or create so much pollution that the planet might incinerate itself, concerned organizations and individuals are constantly working towards creating renewable energy resources that can provide us endless energy without pumping tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.  With appropriate technology the sun can become an everlasting energy source because as far as we know it is not going anywhere unless the solar system collapses or our atmosphere becomes so thick and impenetrable that the rays of the sun cannot reach us (a very remote possibility).

The roof panels convert light into energy using photovoltaic cells.  These are tiny cells embedded into the panels that absorb photons of light and release electrons. These electrons are then captured and that in return creates an electric current and that’s how you get electricity from them.  Theoretically this technology is not new; since 1958 scientists have been generating electricity for satellites in space using the same technology.  It is just that so far it was highly complex and expensive to implement the technology on less esoteric applications like water heaters, electric bulbs, food processors and refrigerators.

With the help of rooftop solar panels from Sungate Energy Solutions you can bring down your electricity bill by as much as 70%.  Now this is a significant number over a longer period of time.  So what happens to the remaining 30%?  You get that from your conventional electricity connection.  When solar panels are installed they become your primary electricity providers and when they are unable to meet your demand you get the remaining supply from your electricity company.

Solar panels from Sungate Energy Solutions are totally nonintrusive — that means you can totally forget about them once the engineers from our company have installed them on your rooftop.  They quietly go on producing power for you with occasional maintenance once every 3-4 years.  Some parts may be replaced during the maintenance process but after the initial installation cost the proceeding costs are negligible.

The solar panels can be placed strategically so that they don’t interfere with the external design of your house.  In fact some solar panels completely blend into your rooftop as if they are an integral part of your roof.  You can even get matching colors sometimes. As the technology advances the size of solar panels will keep on decreasing and very soon they will be so small that you won’t even be able to see them from below.  The early adopters will always be at an advantage as the upgrades are much cheaper than installations from scratch.

Some people may complain that the installation cost is higher compared to conventional electricity connection.  It is actually a one-time cost and after a period of 1-3 years this cost completely gets paid up and after that you get your electricity practically free of cost.  It is a pity that to save us from a one-time cost we keep on incurring a lifelong cost. You also get tax benefits when you switch over to a renewable source of energy. Depending upon which state you live in the government will eagerly bear anywhere from 40% to 90% of the cost of your solar panels.

So contact us today and we will help you decide what’s the best combination for your particular requirement.  At Sungate Energy Solutions we not only do business we also strive to educate our prospective customers about how to save power, not just to reduce costs but also to help the environment.

Sungate Energy Solutions – A Brief History of Solar Power

Sungate Energy Solutions is often faced with the point of view that solar power is a relatively new phenomena. This is quite far from the truth, and in an attempt to familiarize the world about solar power, we shall present you with a brief history of how the sun’s energies have been harnessed by man over the years.

The first records of using solar power archeologists have found date as far back as the seventh century BC. At this point, man discovered how to make fire by concentrating sunlight through a piece of glass. For many hundreds of years, man progressed this way, until the Romans harnessed this energy on a much larger scale. Around the first to fourth century AD, the Romans were known to concentrate the sun’s rays through a glass ceiling to heat their public baths. Indeed, this isn’t all that different from the thermal power we use today in our solar powered heating systems!

By the sixth century, mankind was becoming more aware of the environment and dwellings all over the world reflect the basic principles of passive solar power.

Major breakthroughs in solar power then came through in the mid 18th century, when Horace de Saussure invented the first solar cooker. From here on, solar power progressed in leaps and bounds. The fact that the electricity generated by two electrodes would intensify manifold was discovered by Edmond Becquerel in 1839, and only fifty years later, an American scientist had produced the first selenium power cell.

Sungate Energy Solutions are proud to continue in a long tradition of humankind in promoting the use of solar power  in the world.

The Extraordinary Benefits of Solar Photovoltaic Technology

by Sungate Specialist on Aug.06, 2010, under Energy Resources, Saving Money, Solar

Solar photovoltaic, also known as solar PV, converts sunlight into electrical energy.  If you have solar panels installed over your roof they use solar photovoltaic cells made of silicone and semiconductors that catch the sunlight and convert it into usable energy. Even if you use a solar calculator or a mobile phone charger that uses solar energy you are using solar photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic basically means using light (photo means light) to produce electricity.

Does it sound like a sci-fi or a distant dream?  Not at all.  This technology is currently being used by businesses and residential establishments all over the United States and in many other countries of the world to tap into the massive power of the sun that is not going to exhaust at least for a few billion years.

Sungate Energy Solutions is committed to providing clean energy, especially solar energy, to minimize the usage of fossil fuels that release tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere creating a toxic world for our children. Although the environmental reasons are overwhelming it also makes financial sense to switch over to solar photovoltaic technology in order to get your daily dose of power. There is only one-time cost — the cost of installation — and after that the technology quietly produces reliable energy for your household and also for your business with little fluctuations between clear skies and overcast skies.

Besides, once your house switches over to solar photovoltaic-based energy production you rarely need to use energy from conventional sources.  As this technology improves further eventually there will be no use of conventional energy and this means our cities and towns won’t be requiring the overhead cables and intrusive polls that dot our landscape. Just imagine how much space and raw materials can be saved.

The photovoltaic technology can be used to derive power for your day-to-day appliances such as computers, water heaters, food processors, coffee and tea makers, lighting equipments and fans, and many other household utilities.  As mentioned above there is a one-time cost of installation and after that you can forget about higher energy bills.  The solar panels need occasional maintenance but it happens once every three to four years so it amounts to almost nothing.

Since photovoltaic panels derive energy from light they don’t always need direct exposure to sun, although they can produce more energy during brighter days. They require ample amount of light and even if the sun rays are not directly falling upon them they can give you a fair amount of energy. So even if it is a cloudy day but there is lots of light the solar panels installed by Sungate Energy Solutions keep working.

The current technology lets you use both conventional and renewable sources.  This is because right now you cannot meet all your energy demands solely from the photovoltaic technology.  So you have both the connections working simultaneously. The solar energy panels are given a preference but as soon as they are not able to meet your energy demands the extra energy is derived from your conventional source.  Hence there is no danger of being left without power in case not enough solar energy is being generated. Right now the greatest advantage of switching over to solar photovoltaic technology is that it can reduce your energy bills to more than 70%. It also reduces strain on non-renewable energy resources.

So let us make a new, brighter beginning for ourselves, but more importantly for our future generations.  Contact Sungate Energy Solutions now to find out how you can adopt responsible living to create a healthy legacy for your children.

Sungate Energy Solutions: solar hot water lowers your utility bills

by Sungate Specialist on Jul.30, 2010, under Energy Resources, Saving Money, Solar

Using hot water can be a necessity in many situations no matter how high your utility bills are. You see lots of power is needed to get you hot water and this power is obtained from burning fuel or using resources that are exhausting fast.  More scarcity means a higher demand and this leads to higher prices.  So even if you maintain the current level of hot water consumption every passing month or year you are paying more and more for the same amount of water. Of course the hot water requirement increases as your family expands.  Fortunately there is an easy way around.  You can use solar energy to obtain your daily requirement of hot water.

Sungate Energy Solutions provides cutting-edge solar hot water technologies that can bring down your utility bills significantly. Although the greatest benefit of a typical thermal installation can be derived by a larger family even smaller families can benefit from it. There is just a one-time cost that you incur during installation.  Many families  have experienced that 70% of their hot water comes from  the solar power equipment and the remaining from conventional sources.  In this manner you immediately save 70% of your energy costs as far as your hot water consumption goes.

The installation that gives you solar hot water doesn’t require much upkeep.  Every 3-4 years you need casual inspection and mild servicing.  Other than that it quietly works on its own.

Since we have no control over nature many people are apprehensive about the success of their solar hot water installations.  The solar energy technology is making great progress every passing week; yes it is the hot technology these days.  Even small amounts of sun can be converted into usable energy.  So even if you are  having a bout of cloudy weather you will keep getting your supply of hot water.  And anyway when your equipment cannot give you enough hot water your water is heated with your conventional power connection. In case you wonder you might get scalded on a very bright day this doesn’t happen.  There are some settings that keep the heat level to the desired level.

How does Sungate Energy Solutions help you save power and consequently lower your utility bills?  You must already have a water heater in your house and this water heater uses power according to the current temperature of the water being heated.  The solar hot water equipment raises the temperature of the water before supplying it to your actual water heater so it has to use less energy to raise the temperature of the water.  The water is already significantly hot by the time it reaches your  existing water heater and consequently your  energy consumption is less.

Is it too early to switch over to solar hot water when the technology is still developing?  Well, the technology was developing may be in the 80s or mid-90s; now it is already in an advanced stage and it no longer remains a fad. Very high end solar energy products are available from leading producers like Sungate Energy Solutions that you can use from the word go.  As mentioned above you can already get 70% of your hot water from solar energy.  A couple of years ago the percentage was 25-30%.

Once you decide to adopt solar water heating , the engineers from Sungate Energy Solutions conduct a survey of your house and present to you the most economical and efficient water heating solution. They perfectly realize that every family and household has unique requirements and expectations , so they provide a solution accordingly. When you are partnering with Sungate Energy Solutions you purchase only what you need.

Switching over to solar hot water not only saves money ; it also helps you reduce your carbon footprint.  Even if you can easily afford higher energy bills why put a strain on your environment?  Millions of tons of fuel is burned to produce energy used by all of us.  If we use less conventional energy , it means less fuel will be burned . Hopefully the world will reach a stage when they will no longer have to burn fossil fuels to get power for homes, businesses and transport.  That will be an ideal world as far as our environment goes.
