Antares Solar Power

Down To Earth Star Power! 

Antares (an-tair-eez) is a Supergiant star with a diameter approximately 700 times that of the sun. If it were placed in the center of our solar system, its outer surface would lie between the orbits of Mars & Jupiter! It is approximately 600 light years from our solar system. Astronomically impressive!

Our Sun produces over 1,000 watts per square meter - every clear daylight hour, day-in and day-out!  This is enough energy to run a 1/2 horsepower motor!  Scientifically impressive! 

Photovoltaics - the conversion of sunlight into electricity - is a proven, reliable technology to capture some of our Sun's energy.  While current photovoltaic technology harnesses an average of 15% of this energy, the energy source is free!  Realistically impressive!  Gas motors, coal and natural gas powered generating stations are 20% to 45% efficient but hydrocarbon fuel is not free, nor is it clean. 

In addition to photovoltaics our phenomenal star(the Sun) is also the major contributor to another source of free power - wind!  Wind power is cheaper than photovoltaic power but it requires more maintenance and is site dependent.

Education: Solar and Wind Resources

Our site does not attempt to educate consumers about solar, wind or hydro energy.  There are many excellent resources available should you choose to educate yourself, otherwise just call us.  Following are a few links:

Introduction to Photovoltaics

Introduction to Wind Power

Introduction to Hydro Power

HomePower Magazine- an excellent resource.

Tax Credits

If I wanted an education I would just do it myself -  that is what I want to hire you for!

Okay!  If you are interested in solar, wind, or hydro power and own a home or plan to build a home in the Four Corners Region of the Rocky Mountains, i.e., southeastern Utah, southwestern Colorado, northeastern Arizona or northwestern New Mexico please give us an opportunity to establish a lasting business relationship - call or e-mail us today (See Contact Us).  If you live elsewhere it would be best for you to contact a dealer and/or installer in your area.  You need a local contact, not someone in ten-buck-two, China, or India!
