About Us
Report
Curt, a resident of Durango since 1991, is the sole proprietor of Solar Today and Tomorrow.
In 2007 he began his classroom solar education at SEI, Solar Energy International, at both their Carbondale and Paonia, Colorado facilities for solar thermal, photovoltaics, and solar well pumping.
Curt has accumulated a wide range of installation experience and always strives to give his customers a solar system unique to their needs and circumstances.

Hot Water
Report
Solar water heating includes domestic hot water heating systems (bathing, dishwashing, laundry, etc.) and for space heating where hot water is the medium for heat transfer.
This includes radiant floor heating, baseboard water heating and radiator wall panels.
If space heating is employed it almost always includes domestic hot water heating with it.
Hot water heating can include hot tubs and pool heating as well.
This is an extremely complex subject and rather than address it here we would prefer to go over it with you in person on the phone or at the location of installation.

Repairs and Upgrades
Report
We are just about the only solar company in this region building hot water systems in addition to photovoltaics.
Other companies have pretty much quit doing it.
Nonetheless photovoltaics has eclipsed solar thermal and solar thermal is no longer the big industry that it once was.
There are many systems still in existence, but they need repair work and glycol recharging from time to time and perhaps an upgrade due to an original design flaw.
Sadly we have found that design flaws are almost universal and practically every system we are asked to work on could use some kind of fix.

Air Collectors
Report
Similar in shape and size to hot water flat plate collectors, those that are wall mounted can use an integral fan to take air from the home, heat it in the collector, and return it into the house.
The fan can be dc powered by a small photovoltaic panel eliminating the need for a wiring run and a circuit breaker at the load center.
A roof mounted system of several collectors can provide air flow to attic duct runs and make a large contribution to your home's space heating.
Note the photographs below.

Water Pumping
Report
Strictly speaking solar pumping is not entirely about well pumping although that is the primary application of solar powered pumps which are DC rather than AC pumps.
It can even apply to pumping air for pond aeration.
Because of the distance that the above types of systems tend to be located from power lines it is often cost effective to use pole mounted photovoltaic panels to power a DC pump instead of bringing in a power line for an AC pump.
If its an off grid home this may be a good choice.
If the well head is close to a power load center (panel with breakers) on an off grid home it may be easier to just run a converted AC power line from the panel to the pump and power an AC pump in the well and use photovoltaics indirectly.
