» American Utilities Hot for the Smart Grid and Warming to Renewable Energy. A new survey of American utility companies offers some very revealing information about the U.S. energy industry and renewable energy.  Black & Veatech, a construction and engineering company focused on energy and water infrastructure, has published its annual “Strategic Directions in the Electric Utility Industry Survey.”  Their research shows that for the second year in a row capital spending on electric grid infrastructure by utilities has dropped — this has not happened since the days of the Great Depression in the 1930s.

Services Overview

Solar Photovoltaic & Thermal
Solar PV is a renewable resource that doesn't have to be feed by limited resources to continue producing energy. It produces energy without polluting the environment. After it pays for itself, it consistently pays it's owners in savings for over 30 years making it an investment equal or greater than real estate dollar for dollar. By converting existing real property space that was unrealized into energy producing hot spots you are making the real estate even more valuable. For maximum efficiency incorporate solar energy products into your architectural plans when building. On existing properties ask a Solar Tech professional how to best work solar into your current property layout.

Residential Solar Power Generation
Whether it is Solar PV or Solar Thermal, generating power at your own location reduces the cost of energy by reducing the need for energy utilities to build new electric power plants or unearth more fossil fuels from locations that are increasingly harder to reach. When you go with solar you are helping the environment and others while reaping many benefits for yourself.


Conservation or Speculation
Often what is at hand is not readily apparent. The sun radiates enough energy per day (1000 watts/M2) to meet all our planet's energy needs for a hundred years. We are affecting our global ecology through over population and life style. The world is getting smaller by comparison as populations grow and energy consumption increases. This is causing us to re-engineer our thinking. The necessity for survival demands smart approaches to problems we've failed to address in the past that have become obstacles to our way of life. Energy demands will increase at 3 times higher a rate than in the past. As developing countries come to pace with developed nations and adopt our life style. The increased use and dependence on technology to compete financially will demand more of the earth's depleting natural resources to operate machinery and facilitate industrial processes. A question to the reader: Does technology provide solutions that men and their civilizations should address through other means? Write us, we'd like to know what you think. info@optimalsolar.com

Kinetic Energy    Solar PV, Wind, Wave and Hydro-Electric

All of these four types of power harvesting are clean reliable and renewable. They are all either directly or indirectly dependant on the sun. Their energy producing ability is based on the maximum potential energy available from any of the sources in the chain which all start with the sun. All of this being true you may want to stop and think for a second. Lets look back. Kinetic energy is from the motion of objects moving another object. Hydro-electric gets its power from falling water. Wave and / or tidal energy harvesting gets power from the movement of water by the forces of gravity, convection currents and wind energy conveyed to the oceans. Wind energy comes from the heating and cooling of the sun energy on the earth's surfaces, water and land. They absorb and release energy back into the atmosphere causing movement (wind energy) because of the physical properties of hot and cold air. None of these energy producers would be possible if the earth was a frozen distant planet from the sun. But, Solar PV works in space at temperatures approaching absolute zero though its surface is warmed from radiant heat of the sun. Solar PV works on kinetic energy as well. Have you ever heard of light energy freezing? It doesn't. Photons (light energy) which are both energy and matter at the sub-atomic level convey their energy in an excited state to electrons on a solid sub-strait of silicon. On the surface there is no movement, but in fact the photons striking the surface cause the flow of electrons.
