Solar Power

Adding solar to your home or business is a significant investment. We are here to help you navigate the technical and financial aspects to ensure your system is safe, efficient, and properly integrated.

Key Considerations Before You Install:

  • Property Suitability: Does your roof or land have unobstructed southern exposure?
  • System Sizing: We can help you analyze your past energy usage to determine the ideal system size for your goals.
  • Interconnection: Connecting to the Hendricks Power grid requires specific safety equipment and an inspection to protect both your home and our line workers.

Wind Power

Wind energy can be effective, but success depends entirely on your specific location.
 

The Golden Rule: Conduct a Wind Study

Before investing in a turbine, we strongly recommend a one-year wind study at the exact height and location of your proposed installation. This data captures seasonal variations and ensures the project is economically viable before you break ground.

  • Home Charging: Learn about the different levels of charging and how a dedicated circuit can speed up your daily "refuel."
  • Grid Impact: By charging during off-peak hours, you help the cooperative manage demand and keep rates stable for all members.
