This home is powered by a grid-tied Renewable Energy system. Located in Bellevue, Washington, this system was installed in October of 2000.

In many cases, water from wells can only be found at deep levels, increasing the amount of power required to extract and utilize this water. Most AC pumps are extremely inefficient at moving water. The amount of power required for pumping is enormous. In other cases, a well may not produce much water - 2 gallons per minute or less. We have found the Grundfos SQ-Flex pump with storage system to be very efficient and reliable in all these circumstances.

Near Livingston, Montana is one of the largest off-grid commercial facilities in the west. This 17,000 sq-ft facility is an indoor horse arena with a complete office, public restrooms, viewing rooms, sound system, indoor arena lighting and stalls for horse boarding.

Near downtown Bozeman, Montana is a grid-connected home employing systems designed and installed by Planetary Systems, Inc. These include heating, hot water, solar hot water and PV power systems.

This is an offgrid home project which included solar, wind and energy efficient systems for this cabin/home located near Ennis, Montana. The relative size of the home is deceiving as this home is supposed to look like an old homestead complete with little log cabin below where we installed the water and power systems the year prior to building the cabin. The total sq-ft of the home is about 1500. The home is heated by a Buderus sealed combustion boiler with radiant heat under the floors.

Renovation of a home reducing energy use utilizing Solar electric (PV) and solar hot water collector system with Takagi instantaneous hot water heater. This system was installed early in 2006 by local contractors using technologies provided by Planetary Systems, Inc. and has resulted in a dramatic reduction of both onsite fossil fuel and electric usage.

Planetary Systems, Inc. home, offices and business are totally grid-independent at our Ennis, Montana location. Completely independent systems utilizing wind and PV input are located in our personal power shed and in our main shop/warehouse location on 6 acres in southern Montana. Systems were originally installed in 1998 but have been continuously upgraded to feature the same products we offer for sale. Planetary Systems also has operational solar hot water, hybrid heating and low energy well pump systems at our facility.

This is the Sustainable Technology Center of the San Juan Islands, which was put together by Planetary Systems, Pacific Custom Homes (James Sackett) and Ward Phillips back in 1994-1995. This was the first commercial sustainable project utilizing all the concepts which have now become standard fare...Grid-tied RE systems, low energy heating and water systems, on-site waste-water treatment and low energy lighting. Here the main office building is under construction in the spring of 1995.

This is our latest grid-tied system with energy storage featuring our new PP-Ultra Power Package using Outback Power Systems components. These systems are more efficient at producing, storing and utilizing energy than any system currently available. A 2kw PV array can provide almost all the power for this home and can provide back up power for days during an outage. This system is located in Bellevue, WA a short distance from our System-1 project.
