What is the advantage of a Hybrid Solar / Geothermal system?
A Hybrid solar / geothermal system provides the following principle advantages: • Closed loop geothermal, no impact on valuable drinking water aquifers or surface drainage into lakes and streams. • Utilizes both high and low grade solar energy. • De-couples up to 90% of energy consumption from erratic market forces. • Reduces fossil fuel use by 90% to 100% depending on project type. • Potentially reduces total net CO2 emissions by 68% to 83%. • Potentially reduces overall operating energy costs by 75%.
