Home Energy Worldwide is a pioneer in the increasingly critical renewable energy sector. With cutting-edge products in wind power, solar power and solar heat, Home Energy Worldwide manufacturers the most powerful and efficient green technologies available, but it’s our revolutionary Energy Ball that’s changing the game.
To date, wind energy has largely been restricted to large wind farms and rural agriculture installations. The single biggest factor keeping wind from seeing the explosive growth experienced by solar is in its ability to produce sufficient output in a smaller design…until now!
The Energy Ball’s patented design overcomes the challenges, which have inhibited wind energy from penetrating the residential consumer market. Unlike conventional 3 bladed turbines, the Energy Ball is 30% less expensive, easier to install, 25% smaller, runs silently, is friendly to wildlife and produces the same energy output as our nearest competitor.
New markets previously impenetrable become limitless opportunities for backup power, on and off-grid systems and even parking lot and area lighting. With 2,000 units sold worldwide, Home Energy Worldwide brings the most advanced wind power technology in the world to the North American market and the rest of the world.
Home Energy Worldwide (HEW) combines advanced technology with innovative engineering to create real, tangible systems capable of transforming our energy grid.
Off Grid lighting and Education combine for High School Students
Like all school boards, they are always looking for ways in which to improve the quality of the educational programs for its students.
Working together, we installed the first off-grid street light system exclusively powered by wind and solar energy in the parking lot of the High School.
While powering the light exclusively with renewable energy, all the energy data was then wirelessly transmitted onto a monitor in the classroom and incorporated into the science curriculum. The display reports daily and aggregate energy production and the overall reduction in carbon footprint.
The result: a self-sustaining light source that’s being used to teach students the engineering concepts and real-world application of renewable energy production.
The Johnsons
The Johnsons are a family we know well: they’re every family who will buy our hybrid backup because they’re fed up with the skyrocketing costs of electricity- especially when it goes out a few times a year because of bad weather.
For the Johnsons, HEW’s combination of wind, solar, batteries and automatic switches allow them to reduce their carbon footprint, lower their energy bills and know that their power will automatically switch to a backup if the power grid goes down.
It’s the ultimate in renewable technology: cutting-edge convenience and environmental friendliness.
That’s what we do.
Energy Ball
The Energy Ball is a revelation in wind power, combining a unique design based on the Venturi Principle.
Because it utilizes the Venturi Principle, airflow is constricted as it flows through the turbine, reducing air pressure and increasing speed. The result is air that easily rotates the ball structure to produce high energy outputs.
The Energy Ball is versatile and powerful enough for widespread deployment in:
Key Features:
The Energy Ball makes conventional small wind power designs obsolete.
Hybrid
HEW’s hybrid system combines the power of the sun and wind to produce energy.
They are complementary energy sources when you consider the wind blows more at night when solar is not producing power. When combined, the Energy Ball and solar panels provide enough energy to meet the needs of nearly any application. The hybrid system is designed for backup power in the case of grid outage, displaying the system’s ability to operate both on and off-grid.
Solar Heat
Solar heat is an incredibly capable replacement for standard hot water heating. Total annual energy consumption around the globe is equal to a mere 20 minutes of the energy produced by the sun’s rays
HEW’s Solar Heat products are technological marvels: even on cloudy winter days, their special glass vacuum principle, combined with the large diameter of the glass tubes, can extract enough energy to heat water.
Two solar heat tube collectors will provide all of a home’s hot water requirements and 4 will also heat the house in temperate climates.
That means exceptionally high yield from our Solar Heat collectors in both winter and summer.
Solar cooling is in development.
Solar PV
Solar PV panels are combined with wind to give Hybrid Solutions, which make excellent use of daytime sun and higher winds at night to provide power throughout the day.
Each of HEW’s products represent the best the renewable energy sector has to offer. Now, for the first time, we’re bringing these game-changing technologies to North America.
In the past six years, we’ve spent $5.5 million in development, intellectual property and certification to get where we are, hitting impressive milestones along the way:
With a newly expanded lineup and more versatile technology that’s capable of adapting to a wide range of applications, HEW products are catching the attention of industries keen to capitalize on our offerings. We’re currently engaged in conversations with potential partners and customers across:
