Solar Power Systems
Net Meter
Net metering is a program that allows you, the homeowner or business owner, to generate electricity from renewable resources, like solar energy, for your own use to offset your hydro bill. The excess energy is sent to the grid for a credit towards your energy costs.
Net Zero
Net Zero Solar power systems describes new homes that produce as much, or more power, than they consume in a year. These projects are at the forefront of technological advancement in terms of solar power generation, battery storage and power electronics that monitor and control electricity flow.
Grid-Tied
Get the best of both worlds. Generate your own solar power and tie it to the utility grid and use Net Meter to monitor usage and excess power.
Off Grid
A complete generation, storage, and distribution system without connection to the utility grid. An off-grid installation is a stand alone system that will provide power in locations where there is no access to grid power, or where it would be less costly to generate your own power than it would be to bring grid power in. Also known as a “Micro-Grid”, off-grid solar can be scaled to meet any demand, and will provide reliable power just about anywhere you need it.

Grid-Tied
Solar is tied and connected to the utility grid and net-metered.
Off Grid
A complete generation, storage and distribution system without a connect to utility. Micro Grid, Standalone alone utility grid. Solutions could include Grid Hybrid and Grid-tied with battery.
Battery Storage
Not that long ago battery storage, in the context of solar power systems, was big, bulky and not that efficient. Today however, with the rapidly evolving and ever changing leaps in technological advancements, battery storage has increased significantly in efficiency and decreased in cost.
Whether your home or business is solar powered or not, battery storage is a reliable, emissions free source of backup power. Furthermore, by using “peak rate mitigation” you can charge your batteries when rates are low and use that power when rates are high. This provides much more control to when and how power is used in your home or business. Battery storage can also contribute to the stabilization of grid voltage and frequency.
At Bluewater Energy, our battery systems operate on a “demand management response capability.” When peak usage times occur, the homeowner can benefit from incentives to sell stored power back to the grid. Now that’s pretty cool!

“We have been extremely pleased with the quality, attention to detail and results of our Solar installations by Bluewater Energy. From conception to sale and throughout the entire project, Bluewater Energy turned each project into a worry-free, educational experience. We began making money every month almost immediately after each install. We highly recommend using Bluewater Energy for any project you are considering.”

Backup Generators
Generac Backup Power Systems
Generac keeps your electricity going automatically when the grid shuts down. This mean that whether you’re home or away, you can be secure in the knowledge that all of your solar power systems will continue to operate as if nothing had ever happened.
Homeowners
A Generac home backup generator that is permanently installed protects your home in case of a power outage. Much like an exterior air conditioning unit, the generator sits outside and is powered by natural gas or liquid propane. A Generac backup generator delivers power directly to your home’s electrical systems.
Business owners
Business must keep going and you cannot be stuck without power. Whether you’re powering massive data servers, a video livestream studio or office systems, a Generac backup generator protects your bottom line.
How do generators work?
A Generac home backup generator senses a power outage, turns on automatically and delivers backup power to your home. It will run until utility power returns – whether that’s two hours or two weeks.

Energy Monitoring
Energy monitoring is a game changer for solar homes or for net-zero home builders. It is required in every net-zero and net-zero ready home to obtain the certification.
- The Power is in the Data
- Increased Energy Efficiency
By monitoring exactly where energy is going, we help homeowners find areas of peak energy consumption in order to save money each month.
Maximize Storage ROI
We install systems that smartly manage and control solar inverters and battery systems. This in turn, enhances the return on solar investment.
How does energy monitoring work?
- Sensors measure voltage and branch currents
- Measured data is forwarded to the Data Host
- The Data Host stores the data for viewing via Dashboards
Our monitoring systems actually breakdown your electricity use!
Our energy systems monitor and break down the energy used by each appliance and panel circuit, while also monitoring the total consumption.
Easy to operate and control.
Our technology gives you the power to monitor your energy consumption anytime and anywhere. View it on a local computer, iPhone or over the internet. Simple visuals make it easy for even children to understand!
