    Solar power is fast becoming one of the most widely used forms of alternative energy. At BandaSolar, we are committed to helping you become a part of the solar revolution as easily and inexpensively as possible.  The BandaSolar product line includes; solar lighting for home and industrial use, solar water heating systems and solar power generation systems to help you address growing concerns of rising energy costs and environmental protection.

    Solar energy is quiet, creates no hazardous waste, and is renewable and inexhaustible. After initial set up solar power can operate with very little maintenance or intervention. During the day the solar collectors  drink in free solar energy and this energy is either used or stored for later use.

How Solar Power Works...
How Solar Thermal Works...

          Solar panels or modules capture photons (solar light) from the sun and convert that energy into electricity.  When the light from the sun hits the solar modules, the energy loosens the electrons that then move through the silicon to the nearest wires.  Electric current as more and more electrons make their way through the silicon into the wires. This current can be stored for later use or converted from Direct Current to Alternating Current for immediate consumption.  Off-grid PV systems have traditionally used sealed, maintenance free batteries to store electricity not immediately consumed.  With grid-tied systems, excess electricity can be sent to the transmission grid.  Net metering programs credit the owner for the electricity they deliver to the grid, offsetting electricity provided from the grid when the system cannot meet demand, effectively using the grid as a storage mechanism.

          Solar Thermal directly heats water and stores it in a variety of ways. Our evacuated tube collectors are the most efficient systems available. Each evacuated tube is similar to a thermos in principle. A glass or metal tube containing the water or heat transfer fluid is surrounded by a larger glass tube. The space between them is a vacuum, so very little heat is lost from the fluid. The advantages of an evacuated tube system include:

     • Higher water temperatures

     • Smaller collector size to heat the same amount of water

     • Omni directional solar collection to better catch morning and afternoon sunlight

     • Easy replacement of individual tubes
