What is a KVAR Energy Controller?
A KVAR Energy Controller is small box that fits efficiently next to your electrical panel and reduces energy demand. It can save you up to 15% off your monthly electric bill. It prolongs the life of your appliances by reducing the heat produced by the non productive current that runs through appliances and it also protects your home from energy surges. The KVAR unit fine tunes your home electrical system by reducing your electrical needs by 6% to 10%. Using NASA proven technology it reduces greenhouse pollution which immensely helps the environment.

Solar energy is among the cleanest forms of renewable energy on the planet. Today, solar energy not only takes the form of the more basic passive solar design, but is also applied through highly advanced, cost-effective photovoltaic cells and other solar energy technologies.
Photovoltaic (PV) cells, or solar cells, convert sunlight directly into electricity. As the sun strikes a PV cell, the semi-conducting materials within the cell absorb the sunlight, producing electricity. Solar cell systems provide electricity for pumping water, powering communications equipment, lighting homes and businesses. A series of solar cells form a PV array or "solar panel." PV panels are installed on buildings in places of maximum sun and minimal shade in order to take full advantage of the sun's power. There is very little maintenance required to sustain solar equipment. So long as panels are kept clean, they can last approximately 20 to 30 years.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection annually provides over $20 million in grants for alternative energy projects, such as the instillation of solar panels. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development also provide loans and additional grant opportunities for businesses.
The energy professionals at Hayden Electric can show your business how easy it is to Go Green and save money.
