Solar & Wind Capture
Voltas connects solar panel and wind turbine owners with environmentally conscientious hotels, offices, retail stores, manufacturers and apartment complex operators who want to offset their power costs and contribute to a sustainable future.
Solar & Wind
Cost savings and Remote Locations
It's often more cost efficient to supplement utility power with self-generated solar or wind energy. Capturing wind and solar also helps in remote locations where utilities are scarce or unreliable. Some small towns that are experiencing a surge of growth lack sufficient infrastructure to support new communities, so solar and wind power may be necessary to provide reliable energy for growing eco-friendly communities.
Direct Use
Truly Green
It's vital for national security and our standard of living that we have a stable energy supply. Solar and wind, while sustainable, are sometimes unreliable. To ensure a steady source of power, the federal government has mandated that coal and nuclear energy producers will not fall below 70% of capacity. On a sunny, windy day, solar panels and wind turbines will actually be disabled so that coal and nuclear can maintain their minimum production without overloading the national grid. Rather than disabling green energy sources, microgrids can store the power for later use, or productively expend the energy instead of committing it to the public power system.
