free energy source

   

The Sun’s energy is delivered to your home everyday for free.  The Sun is expected to last another 5.5 billion years.  Oil reserves are expected to last 30 to 40 years.

reduce carbon emissions

  

Solar energy systems emit little or no polution.  There is a small amount of embodied energy (energy used to produce, ship and install components) in every solar energy system.  But, this is offset in less than 2 years in solar thermal systems and less the 4 years in photovoltatic systems.

lock in your utility rates

   

Utility rates historically, have risen 8-10% per year.  When you install a solar energy system, you lock in the cost of you energy for the life of the system.

energy independence

Become part of a growing number of Americans becoming energy independent.  Participate in our nations efforts to become less dependent on foreign sources of energy.

rebates, tax credit and incentives are better than ever

   

Federal, state and local incentives have never been better.  Curently, 30-60% of your system cost may be covered by one or more of these programs.  As a result, solar energy systems are more affordable than ever.  These incentives have limited funds and/or expiration dates.  So, act now!  To learn more click here.
