WELCOME TO THE MIRASOL SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS BLOG!

At long last, we have our new website up and running. We are so excited to have the means to show New Mexico what Mirasol Solar Energy can do! Last year, we became an authorized dealer for Solar Panels Plus which is not only recognized as one of the foremost developers of Solar Thermal equipment, they are now manufacturing their Thermal Collectors in the United States! Also, we have added Photovoltaic Systems—both grid-tie and off-grid systems to our offerings. We hope to be adding some other Green products in the near future. Keep checking our blog and website for product announcements.

Thermal systems, of course, are our first love and if you think there is nothing new in Solar Thermal, au contraire! New products have been developed and manufactured that make solar thermal systems more efficient and less expensive. No longer is it necessary to patch a system together with plumbing parts that were made for other purposes but work—kinda okay— for solar. Our thermal designer, Luis Martin, keeps up-to-date on all new product developments and actually takes weekly classes online to learn how to use these new products.

New products have allowed Luis to come up with new Thermal system designs. We are now using an advanced chemical-free, pressurized, drain-back design for Thermal that eliminates some of the storage tanks. The system is less costly and takes up less space. Also, we build in overheating protection into each system which means that a Mirasol Solar Thermal System can be designed for higher efficiency to give you the most energy savings possible and quicker Return On Investment. Every system includes our exclusive Mirasol Energy Management Controls to guarantee that your system will work easily, automatically and safely.

Photovoltaic innovations are taking quantum leaps. Better products are coming out every day that is higher in efficiency and less expensive. Recently, Enphase introduced a great mini-inverter that has us very excited. Expect to see more new products coming out over the next year. We will announce these new products as soon as we get information about them.

Anyone who is looking at our website and blog is probably as concerned about the pollution created by the use of fossil fuels as the costs. But, the cost of fossil fuel usage just got higher with the Gulf Oil Spill. Not only is oil coming out of that hole in the ocean but natural gas that we use to heat and generate electricity too. What we must learn from the Gulf Oil Spill is that there is a potential for this kind of accident to happen with every off-shore oil well that is drilled. As we have seen, the oil companies are ill-prepared to deal with it. Let’s give them less reason to drill in the oceans. Get a solar system on your home or business now!

We want to thank our website designer, Brooke Haney, at Techland Creations, for doing such a marvelous job on our website redesign. We are especially grateful to her for her patience, great ideas and professionalism.
