Solar Power
Thursday, October 16th, 2008Supplying power to cabins in remote locations has bin a problem for a long time. the cost of getting the power company to run electric can be staggering, and the thought of hearing a generator run all the time, look very unattractive. just this year several of you have purchase cabins from us and placed them at sites with no electric to them.
I don’t know what the complete answer to the problem is but I have studied into the possibilitys of solar power, and I am pleased to announce that we will be offering solar packages for our cabins from now on. Although solar started out as a very expensive option it has since become a lot more reasonable particularly for the smaller cabins like ours. As technology advances the solar panels have become less expensive to build and factories have produced systems that are easy to install, greatly decreasing labor cost. the key is to plan your cabin for solar power for example, a small or gas powered refrigerator, small microwave, gas stove, and energy efficient light bulbs. all these things will decrease the amount of electric your solar system needs to produce and there by decrease the size of system you need. the important thing to remember is that most things are possible if we think through them and plan ahead. if you want more information on our products you can find us at www.northwoodoutdoor.com
