<p>You might be surprised to learn that PV cells beat plants in their efficiency at turning sunlight into energy.</p>
<p><em>Scientific American </em>reported that photosynthesis turns about 3% of the sunlight a plant receives into energy, while a solar panel harvests about 10% of the energy it receives.</p>
<p>Let this tech triumph help keep your home comfortable and your cooling and heating bills low.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.rockygrove.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/free-1-hr-consult.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-408" title="solar pathfinder " src="http://www.rockygrove.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/free-1-hr-consult.jpeg" alt="solar pathfinder" width="221" height="166" /></a></p>
<p>Here it is, the solar pathfinder.</p>
<p>To get the best return on your solar energy investment, you have to have the right size of array, in the right place, with the right orientation. To calculate these things accurately, you need accurate data about the sun and shade patterns at your site.</p>
<p>We use the solar pathfinder, a highly accurate piece of equipment that measures this information precisely. We can use the data with confidence to design your solar power system.</p>
<p>Together with information on your energy usage and the nature of your building and site, the data from the solar pathfinder lets Rocky Grove plan a system for you that will lower your monthly power bills without giving large donations to the power company, see you through inclement weather, and otherwise meet your goals.</p>
<p>Why choose a solar company that says, &#8220;Most folks use&#8230;&#8221; when you can have exactly what you need, based on accurate information?</p>
