Solar Energy for Residential and Commerical Buildings

About Project Energies - Installing Renewable Energy Systems

Project Energies are specialists in installing solar systems for residential and commercial buildings.  We have been working in the design, production and installation areas of the solar industry for 25 years and keep up-to-date with all the latest solar energy technology for water heating and photovoltaic solar power.

Making use of renewable energy from the sun is the clean and environmental way to power and heat our homes and buildings. Solar systems are a complex technology and we have resources to help you understand how this technology works.  Visit our News page for some of the latest developments in the solar energy industry.

There are three main areas solar energy is used.  Solar heating swimming pools, space heating of houses and solar power.

Quick Guide to different systems

Residential

The tables below outline some different ways solar energy systems can be designed. The systems available cover hot water, space heating and pool heating.

Testimonials

We recently have completed the construction of a new home. The idea of incorporating some sola heating system into the design appealed to us. We were in the final stages of our systems investigation when we happened to meet Holger Behrendsen. Instantly we were impressed with Holgers enthusiasm for the concept of harnessing nature ... full testimonial»
