Understanding and working with solar since 1976.
Back in the 70s I got into solar energy in a big way. Then I obtained a BA from Sonoma State University in Environmental Studies with an emphasis in Solar Energy. I studied all the basics of solar energy, solar house design, worked on numerous solar design projects and analyized ways to use solar to pump water.
Part of understanding the use of solar, requires understanding all the aspects of house location, heat loses and gains. Well designed passive solar houses can benefit from active features such as shutters, fans, and venting systems. In the 70's those solar components were always manually activated, but not today. Today, houses use computers to control solar systems, and it was that concept of using computers that took me away from solar and got me into computers.
Solar is also a source of power that can be used to power remote sites and emergency equipment. Kibler electronics is working on a number of products to support this area of communications and emergency services. In fact this site is completely run "off grid" - using batteries and solar collectors. Servers running 24/7 can cost as much as $50 a month, thus making solar powered servers cost effective over time.
Kibler electronics can assist you in analyzing a pending house design to make sure your house is making full use of the sun. Improperly oriented houses are cold in winter and hot in summer. Proper orientation will save money, allow later solar power enhancements, and improve comfort.
I am currently looking for more projects, you need only send an e-mail to find out how I can help you solve your business needs.
