Solar Lighting
In a solar lighting and power system, the roof-mounted concentrators collect
sunlight and distribute it through the optical fibers (enlargement) to hybrid lighting
fixtures in the building's interior. The system also produces electricity for
supplemental lighting or other uses

Solar Heating
Solar heating harnesses the power of the
sun to provide solar thermal energy for
solar hot water, solar space heating, and
solar pool heaters. A solar heating system
saves energy, reduces utility costs, and
produces clean energy.

Solar Water Heating
Solar water heaters use the sun to heat either water or a heat-transfer fluid in the
collector. Heated water is then held in the storage tank ready for use, with a conventional
system providing additional heating as necessary. The tank can be a modified standard
water heater, but it is usually larger and very well insulated. Solar water heating systems
can be either active or passive, but the most common are active systems.

Wind Turbine Work requires electrical experience
Many jobs in wind require the candidate to have a technical back ground and be certified
to perform high voltage preventive maintenance.
