Glenshire Solar - Full service Solar system design, installation, and monitoring
Deep snow solar. high snow loads have discouraged many people from adopting energy independence. Snow is a double whammy to solar, the panels have to be strong enough to not collapse under the load - and whenever they are covered they are not generating energy. Problem 1 has been well addressed by other installers / manufacturers, but little attention is paid to problem 2 - people with solar just have to "live with it". But systems can be designed to beat this problem... by designing systems with snow shedding, melting, and panel protection in mind, we can build a higher performing solar system than any. Panel layout, edge guards, and even active snow clearing mechanisms are incorporated into your solar design to ensure you are generating the absolute maximum amount of energy for your investment
Benji's Boot Dryers
Wait - the Solar / construction / engineering company makes boot dryers? You betcha we do. We were deeply unsatisfied with all commercially available equipment dryers on the market. Dryers are either made for 1 or 2 pairs of boots, or large commercial ones cost several thousand dollars, are very loud, and require high voltage plugs! Family living in the Sierras means having a LOT of wet equipment most of the season. A family of 4 wanting to dry boots, gloves, and hats is 20 pieces of equipment - how is your 2-pair dryer going to handle that? We build custom dryers for however much equipment you need to dry. And they are always quiet, can be plugged in anywhere, easily serviceable, and affordable. You will thank us the first time you put on warm dry gloves as you head out to shovel for the 5th time that day.
