Solar Radiation Budget

Of the solar radiation bathing our planet, only about 50% of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the earth’s surface.

That 50% is our never ending source of free energy for geothermal heat pump systems.

Geothermal HVAC taps into this never ending power supply, establishing the technology as one of the most efficient available today.

Site Specific Geology Is An

Important Factor

1. Different subsurface materials have different thermal conductivity properties.

2. Different rock types require different types of drilling methods.ARM GEOTHERMAL, HAMPSTEAD, NC 6

Summary of Geothermal Benefits
