This 130 year old adobe white stucco, two cable pioneer home, just across
the street from the Brigham Young Home, was built by Anthony W. Ivins
and is one of the original homes of St. George. The 4.8 kW system
mounted on the garage provides more than enough energy for the needs of
the Gardners, and they enjoy extremely favorable utility bills.
The Donaldson family installed this 3 kW solar PV system to supply some of their
home energy needs. They also made their home energy efficient, with ceiling insula-
tion (R51 blown-in), wall insulation (R23 blown-in plus foam with reflective backing –
net is approximately R27), an efficient A/C unit (SEER 16), and Low E Windows.
With energy efficiency and renewable energy, the Donaldson family has reduced
their power bills and overall energy footprint.

North of Virgin — Solar PV, Solar Thermal Solar PV, Grid-Tie, Net Meter
This 8 kilowatt solar PV system was made possible with a grant from the Blue Sky Renewable
Energy Program. The panels produce enough electricity to power the equivalent of almost
three typical Utah homes and will keep 14.7 tons of carbon dioxide out of the air each year -
equivalent to removing three cars from the road each year.
The project is part of Westminster’s larger effort to become a leader in environmental sus-
tainability and will serve as a vital education tool for students, faculty, and the community.

The Green Valley Resort features 1 kW solar PV per unit. This truly
"green" resort minimizes its energy footprint with other efficiency
techniques, such as dual flush toilets, an efficient cooling unit (SEER 17)
and a highly efficient tank-less hot water heater. They also participate in
the St George Net Metering Program.

This 1700 Watt roof mounted system takes advantage of Rocky Mountain
Power’s Net Metering Program.
The main system of the Andrade solar heated home was installed by In Hot
Water beginning in May of 2002. At that time 8 solar thermal collectors
were put in for radiant floor heating and hot water. The savings were so
significant that, coupled with the current tax incentives, Joe and Barbara
decided to capitalize on the savings and installed 8 solar PV panels in 2006.

This is a must-see stop on your tour. Not only will you be able to see Andy’s 1500
kW PV Grid-tie system, but you will also see his solar powered tricycle! This amaz-
ing Ecotrike has solar PV on the roof, a pedal driven electric generator, uses ½ the
parking space and 1/100 of the power of a car. A prototype version has been devel-
oped and has been used as a licensed street-legal electric “motorcycle” in Utah. It
is designed for a single rider with a range of 40 miles on level terrain, has zero
emissions and can achieve up to 30 mph. Also see Andy’s solar DC powered waterfall
and charging station.

Solar Unlimited’s radiant floor heated office & warehouse space built in
August 2006 is the first off-grid commercial building in Southern Utah.
The 3.0 kW solar PV array and 8.5 kW Gillette generator has an expected 5
year payback period. Installing this system avoided a $10,000 transformer
charge from the power company and costs were reduced another 45% by
taking advantage of federal and state commercial tax credits.

Dennis Daniels of Daniels Electric set up this solar back-up system so that
KRCL 90.9 FM would never go down. He mounted 12 - BP 150 watt panels to
take over if (or more accurately, when) the lights go out. A similar system
would work well for other businesses, homes, or cabins.
