State Of The Art Solar System…Brand New Installation using the Latest Green Technology…Engineered and Installed by Guadalajara based ALTA ENERGIA - RENEWABLE ENERGY.
Nine Solar Photovoltaic Panels are mounted on the roof of the Casita.
The panels produce DC Current, which is routed to the Power Centre. Since most modern appliances and devices are powered by AC Current, the high end Inverter System converts the stored DC Current to AC which powers the appliances, computers, televisions and microwave. Producing perfect 120 Volt AC Current, the system actually “sells back” excess power to CFE, the local power grid through the use of a high-tech digital meter dedicated to this home exclusively.
The resulting power savings reduces the monthly bill from CFE to virtually pennies.
Although the home uses the free power from CFE at night, the back up batteries store enough independent power to run the home for three days continuosly.

With our system and the new CFE "sell back" meter on the right, the cost for power was reduced from $1,500 pesos per month to just $50 pesos per month.
In addition, a secondary smaller system provides all of the hot water for the entire house. The entire Solar System is easier to maintain than a standard swimming pool, and carries a 25 YEAR COMPLETE TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY. The engineering company that recently installed this system to the highest US standards is located in Guadalajara and California, so any service or homeowner questions are easily answered locally.
