Benefits of Solar Power

  • Lock in the cost of electricity - avoid the fluctuating and ever-rising costs of electric power from utility companies
  • Obtain tax credits and rebates – State and Federal Incentives help afford you a solar system
  • Reap the rewards of return on investment – the utility company is required to pay you back for energy not used and pumped back into the grid
  • Generate clean power – lighten your carbon footprint - power from the sun produces no pollution or emissions and does not contribute to global warming
  • Gain power independence - rely completely on your own generating capacity, and not on a utility company
  • Ensure reliable power - enjoy uninterrupted power to your home during power outages
  • Low maintenance - solar panels have no moving parts and are very low maintenance

Benefits of Solar Hot Water Systems

  • Cost Effective - Solar hot water systems use sunlight, to heat water. Our systems have nearly no moving parts, so maintenance is minimal.
  • Safe and Clean - Solar hot water systems use clean, non-polluting solar energy to heat water. They can offset the equivalent of approximately 40% of the carbon dioxide of a modern passenger car. They are safe for you, safe for plants and animals, and safe for our environment.
  • High Reliability - A properly installed solar hot water system will require little maintenance and should last for 25+ years.
  • Easy to Operate - Systems integrate beautifully with your home or business and require little attention or special training.
  • Expandibility- Systems can be sized to meet your hot water requirements. If your needs grow, you can easily add to the system. If you move, you can take it with you.
