Hybrid Solar Technology

Clean energy with maximum efficiency. Solar Roof

By avoiding the use of electricity created from fossil or nuclear fuels, you're contributring to the health of the planet. Utilizing solar energy allows you to eliminate harmful byproducts in our air and water, both today and for future generatiions. When you install a Solectric Hybrid Solar Energy System, you're combining two proven solar technologies to maximize the output of each in its unique environment -- saving you money on your initial investment and allowing you to recoup that investment much faster! Harnessing energy from the sun just makes sense. Utilizing the best solar technologies together to create maximum output is the smartest solar energy decision you can make.


Why a Hybrid Solar System is a Total Solution

Photovoltaic (PV, or solar electric) technology can replace a portion of the electricity you use in your home, but the more conventional electricity is replaced, the higher the solar investment. Because solar thermal technology is more cost-effective and efficient than PV, you can save up to 25-30% of your solar investment by replacing the water heating portion of your electric bill with solar thermal technology. By utilizing a MyGen PV system with a Solene Hot Water system, you get the best of both technologies at the highest efficiencies and the best price.

Here's why: In a typical home, the equivalent of 2.3 kWh of electricity is expended on heating water for everyday uses like laundry, showers and dishwashing. Adding a Solene solar water heater to your MyGen solar electric system purchase is like adding an additional 2.3 kWh to your home's solar energy output. For example, you can purchase a 3.6 kWh solar electric system with a solar thermal water heater and achieve a total equivalent energy output of more than 5.9 kWh - for about 25-30% less than a 5.9 kWh solar electric system!

A Kyocera MyGen PV system delivers 3 Kilowatt Hours (kWh), preventing approximately 5,600 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emmissions annually.

Combined Result: 5.3 Total Kilowatts of Solar Energy Output

One Home, Two Solar Technologies.

This Florida home utilizes both solar technologies (solar PV and solar thermal) to maximize the overall efficiency of their investment. When used together, this combination package will save the homeowner approximately $15,000 on their total solar investment.

Compare the Difference!

A typical 5 kWh solar electric system requires an average investment of $10/watt (or $50,000). The cost of a MyGen/Solene hybrid solar system that delivers the same energy output on your home is available for about $7.20 per watt, representing a 25% to 30% savings on your total investment!
