Info on windmills/solar panels.

Solar Panels:
a panel's power is expressed in peak watts.
maximum sun intensity is 1.000 w/m^2.
factors that influence the amounts of sunlight reascing the PV (solar) panels are:
weather conditions (clouds, fog, etc.)
altitude of the sun.
number of daylight hours.

Windimills:
in a wide open area, (no buildings nearby) a 12-ft. tower may be sufficient.
in not so open areas, 16-ft. and 20-ft. towers are reccomended.
a windmill with a single diaphragm pump is mainly for one-acre or less.

water dock foundations

FIBERGLASS COMPOSITE PILINGS are today’s preferred building material for waterfront foundations, docks, piers and bridges. Our composite pilings are stronger than wood, steel or Containing no chemical preservatives that leach into the water, sustainable fiberglass composite pilings are environmentally friendly and are the choice of “green” developers of clean concrete pilings, and because they will not rust, rot or crumble, they will last virtually forever. marinas and waterfront properties.

ATLANTIS MARINA REPLACES WOOD PILINGS WITH FIBERGLASS COMPOSITE PILINGS Paradise Island, Bahamas The world class Atlantis Marina on Paradise Island, Bahamas has recently replaced all 400 of its greenheart, Brazilian hardwood pilings with Fiberglass Pilings. The long term investment will virtually eliminate the cost of replacing pilings again.
