Solar power for Manitoba, Boissevain Manitoba Business

Boissevain Manitoba Business

Boissevain Manitoba Business incentives allow business owners to write off 100% of their hydro bill, here is the way to do it.

Doing business in Boissevain, Mb

Boissevain Manitoba Business Incentive

What if there was a way to eliminate your Manitoba Hydro bill?  I know this sounds ridiculous because Manitoba Hydro doesn't give away electricity for free.  But what if there was a way around it.  Did you know there was such an incentive for all of Manitoba?  So why not look into it for our town?

Boissevain Manitoba Business Targeted Markets

That incentive is fairly easy to understand.  It takes a few minutes to get it all started.  The province of Manitoba is offering an incentive for business that would lease a solar power system to be able to write it all off.  100% of it my friends.  Imagine places like the big shops we have in town.  Not having to pay hydro bills any more.  What about farms?  And the public places like arenas and gathering places as well as the public pools.  That represents a lot of money doesn't it?  So that is a lot of potential businesses that could likely do something with the money they would save.  Maybe even give their employees a raise.  I know I am a bit of a dreamer.  But maybe they'll get to expand and, that would likely mean job creation.

What Is The Process ?

First, before I get into the solution, there is a process.  The electricity needed for the business has to be assessed. To see what size system will be needed to keep up with the needs of that specific business.

Manitoba Hydro requires the system you will get to be sized on an average consumption for the 12 months of the year.  They will not allow an oversized system.  If the assessment can't be done by yourself, I'd be happy to help.  But we have a form that will help.  You fill each items required and we do the rest.

Boissevain Manitoba Business Solution

That solution is Solar Power.  Even Manitoba hydro made a claim that solar power was the future of electricity.

Yes the initial amount of money is high compared to what your bill is now.  So lets see an example.

John has a little shop at home and runs his business from home.  He needs a system that is for example 20KW.

The lease is on 5 years, which we are trying to extend to 15 years.  But it's 5 years for now.  5 years is 60 months.

Lets say the system he needs to power his shop is $60,000 dollars.  That will be $12,000 a year or $1000 a month for 12 months.  At the end of the year, come tax time, he will get it all back.  It can then sit in his account and pay for the next year.  Or used to expand or modify his shop.  That gave him free hydro for a year.  After five years,  He has completed his lease and can buy the system for $10.

If that isn't an incentive, I am not sure what else to call it.  A bit more out of pocket to start and then freedom.

Wind Turbines Basics

How a wind turbine works Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, a turbine uses wind  to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. The electricity is sent through transmission and distribution lines to a substation, then on to homes, business and schools. High-tech turbines equal low environmental impact.  That’s why wind power is gaining public approval and generating increased awareness. It is also becoming economically competitive with more conventional power sources – a fact that’s greatly improving its prospects as a viable energy source. Components of Wind Energy Systems The basic components of a typical wind energy system are shown below: Components of a wind energy system. (Source: Natural Resources Canada) These basic components include: A rotor, consisting of blades with aerodynamic surfaces. When the wind blows over the blades, the rotor turns, causing the generator or alternator in the turbine to rotate and produce electricity. A gearbox, which matches the rotor speed to that of the generator/alternator. The smallest turbines (under 10 kW) usually do not require a gearbox. An enclosure, or nacelle, which protects the gearbox, generator and other components of the turbine from the elements. A tailvane or yaw system, which aligns the turbine with the wind. If you plan on building a horizontal axis wind turbine, you will need a tower on which to mount the turbine (vertical axis turbines are usually built on the ground). Several types of towers are available: Guyed lattice towers, where the tower is permanently supported by guy wires. These towers tend to be the least expensive, but take up a lot of space on a yard. A radio broadcast tower is a good example of a guyed lattice tower. Guyed tilt-up towers, which can be raised and lowered for easy maintenance and repair. Self-supporting towers, which do not have guy wires. These towers tend to be the heaviest and most expensive, but because they do not require guy wires, they do not take up as much space on a yard. An important factor in how much power your wind turbine will produce is the height of its tower. The power available in the wind is proportional to the cube of its speed. This means that if wind speed doubles, the power available to the wind generator increases by a factor of 8 (2 x 2 x 2 = 8). Since wind speed increases with height, increases to the tower height can mean enormous increases in the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine. Relationship between wind speed and wind power. Wind speeds increase with height. Wind turbine schematic. (Modified image from Natural Resources Canada) Picking the Best Location for a Wind Turbine Where you choose to build your wind turbine is important. Remember that if nearby houses, tree lines and silos obstruct the full force of the wind from your wind turbine, you will not be able to generate as much power. Also keep the following in mind: Wind speeds are always higher at the top of a hill, on a shoreline, and in places clear of trees and other structures. Remember that trees grow over the years; wind turbine towers do not. Inform neighbours of your plans to avoid conflict later on. Be courteous. Keep the turbine as far away from neighbours as possible. 250-300 m away is typical. Check with the local government for any other bylaws and regulations about zoning. Wind speeds tend to be higher on the top of a ridge or hill, and for that reason it is a good idea to locate wind turbines at hilly locations Just remember to keep your turbine away from high turbulence. Neighbours must also be taken into consideration when picking a spot to build your turbine. The farther your wind turbine site is from neighbouring houses, the better. Do not expect your wind turbine to generate the same amount of power all the time. The wind speed at a single location may vary considerably, and this can have a significant impact on the power production from a wind turbine. Even if the wind speed varies by only 10%, the power production from a wind turbine can vary by up to 25%! Example of wind speed distribution by hour of the day. Values shown are monthly averages of measurements made by anemometers. (Source: US Department of Energy) Types of Wind Turbines There are two basic types of wind turbines: horizontal axis wind turbines and vertical axis wind turbines. Horizontal axis turbines (more common) need to be aimed directly at the wind. Because of this, they come with a tailvane that will continuously point them in the direction of the wind. Vertical axis turbines work whatever direction the wind is blowing, but require a lot more ground space to support their guy wires than horizontal axis wind turbines. Two basic wind turbines, horizontal axis and vertical axis. (Source: Ontario Ministry of Energy) Choosing an appropriate wind turbine size To determine the appropriate size of wind turbine to use, review your monthly electricity consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh). To do this look at your electricity bills for the last year, add the kilowatt-hours you consumed, and divide by 12. Then compare this total to estimates of the power production for different wind turbines, a figure available from a wind turbine dealer. Read the whole document here.

The Past, Present, And Future Of Solar Energy

Title: The Past, Present, And Future Of Solar Energy

After this, solar energy began to boom as an industry. Massive solar panels were used by industrial plants and big businesses to create energy. Even the International Space Station has solar panels all around its exterior. For a long time, solar energy was something that only powerful businesses and governments could use. However, in the past decade, this has begun to change.

The Present
As solar technology has developed, solar power has become more widely available to the general public. In fact, many people own home solar panels in Seattle. These can be installed on the roof of the home to collect energy from the sun. This energy is used to power the home's systems and can greatly reduce--or even eliminate--the cost of utilities.

Some residential solar panels generate so much energy that home owners actually get a rebate on their energy usage. Their solar panels create enough energy to power the home, and the remainder can be used by the utility company; the utility company then pays the home owner for the solar energy that they use.

The Future
More and more industries have begun experimenting with solar power. Several governments around the globe have looked into the benefits of installing solar roads in their cities. These roads would be fully functional for transportation, but would also contain solar cells, enabling the roads to collect energy that can then be used by the city. This is something that is still in development, but it is possible that these solar roads will soon be in mass production around the world.

Another possibility that is being explored in solar power is a way to make solar energy even more accessible for the average home owner--and less cumbersome on the home as well. Experts in solar energy have recently developed a completely transparent solar panel. This opens the opportunity for homeowners to have their solar panels installed as windows, which means they don't need to have special mounts installed on their roofs. This cuts the cost of solar panels, reduces strain on the roof (which may even need reinforcements to have panels installed), and keeps homes free of unsightly, bulky panels.

As fossil fuels become less and less available, and people look for "green" energy sources, more and more consumers are turning to solar power for their energy needs. With growing demand, and continuing advancements in technology, the future of solar power is bright. With home solar panels in Seattle becoming more and more affordable, it is only a matter of time before every home in America is using the energy of the sun to power their homes.

Home Solar Panels: Do They Make Sense For You?

Title: Home Solar Panels: Do They Make Sense For You?

Solar panels generate electricity from the sunlight that reaches your home on a daily basis. Using sunlight to provide electricity for your household is good for the environment, because no resources are depleted and you're not creating any hazardous waste. However, you might be concerned that there is not enough sunlight where you live.

While the Northwest doesn't receive as much sunlight as the South of the United States, there is plenty of sunshine to power your home with solar panels. In fact, Germany receives far less sunlight than the Northwest region, but Germans have been using solar panels effectively for a very long time.

Are Solar Panels Efficient?

The next question you need to ask yourself is whether using solar panels is efficient enough to provide your home with the electricity it requires. When homeowners move off the grid, they're often required to make a lifestyle change in order to make do with the electricity they can generate on their own, such as living without air conditioning and dramatically reducing energy consumption. This is certainly not necessary when using solar power.

In the past, solar panels weren't as efficient as they are today you had to install large solar panels just to power a light bulb! Fortunately, with advances in technology, it's extremely plausible to switch your household from mainstream electricity to solar energy. In fact, you'll probably be able to sell some of the electricity back to the city.

Are Panels Cost Effective?

The installation of solar panels cost as much as or more than a new car. Nevertheless, it's a cost-effective energy source because solar panels last for a long time and require only minimal maintenance. Another great thing about solar panels is that you can often find incentives and attractive financing terms that make it affordable for you to switch to solar energy right now.

How the finances work out partially depends on whether you're still hooked up to the regular power grid. In return for selling energy back to the city, you might qualify for different government grants and incentives.

Depending on the cost of the installation, your power usage, and your financing arrangements, solar panels are an investment that will pay off in about 3 to 5 years. If you don't plan on staying in your home for that long, installing sonar panels might still be a good option for you because they could increase the resale value of your home.

Is Your Roof Sunny?

How much energy is generated through your solar panels depends on the weather as well as on the exact position of your roof. The perfect roof for solar panels faces south without any shading and receives plenty of sunlight during the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. However, your home doesn't have to meet these exact criteria to be suitable for solar panels.
Your home solar panels in Seattle will still generate enough power to get your meter running backwards even if your roof faces east or west. However, if your roof is in the shade, that could be a deal breaker. That's why you should have a solar energy expert make a thorough inspection of your home before making a final decision about installing solar panels.
