 Wind and Solar Solutions
Texans have been harnessing wind power since the first settlers moved here. In the 1970's, we started capturing power from the sun. Technological advances in efficiency - photovoltaic (PV) panels, better turbines, federal tax credits, local rebate programs, and a larger installed base have all contributed to driving down prices. Today off-the-grid solutions are more affordable than ever. The federal tax credit is ensured through 2016. While power companies seek to expand capacity, prices continue to rise. Preservation Texas provides alternative energy solutions that meet our clients' needs. We offer professional solutions and installation utilizing proven, cost effective technologies.

Solar (PV) Panels
With rising electricity costs and
growing concerns over global warming, photovoltaic (PV) systems, also known as
solar panels, have become an attractive option for homeowners seeking to lower
monthly utility bills and adopt a green energy solution. PV systems provide a clean, reliable and very
low maintenance solution for powering your home.
Preservation Texas has a licensed, master electrician
on staff to ensure your PV system is designed to meet your requirements and is
properly installed.
How Solar Works: PV panels capture the energy from the sun,
and convert it to a DC current. Because
our appliances run on AC power, the current is then converted to AC power by an
inverter. The power then ties into home’s
energy system for real-time usage.
If you are generating more electricity
than you are using, with net metering your meter will actually run backwards –
selling your excess energy back to the utility company. You may also choose to store the energy in
batteries. Off-the-grid solutions
require a storage solution when PV panels are unable to generate, such as night
or cloudy days.
