Why Solar?

Clean, rewewable and reliable source of power
Every hour the sun provides enough clean, reliable and renewable energy to power the world's need for a year. Solar PV systems power homes and businesses by harnessing this potential.

Reduce or eliminate your electric bills
Depending on your electrical useage and solar access, solar electric power systems can reduce and even eliminate your electric bill. The savings from your reduced utility bills will eventually pay the for the cost of the system.

A valuable remodel that doesn't increase property taxes
A recent article in Business 2.0 found installing solar power systems to be as or more valuable than a new kitchen or master bath remodel. The gains are made in two places: the increased value to your home and annual energy savings.

A study in the Appraisal Jounal identified every dollar of utility bill savings per year translated to a $10-$20 gain in property value. Thus, annual energy savings of $1,000 can be worth $10,000 - $20,000 of added home value.

Favorable tax laws allow the extra value to not increase property taxes.

Support National Energy Independence
Solar power supports national security and energy independence by decentralizing the national energy infrastructure and reducing our dependence on the foreign oil and natural gas used to produce electricity.

Back in 1982, Amory Lovins and the Rocky Mountain Institute were hired by the Pentagon to evaluate the nation's energy infrastructure. In their book, Brittle Power:Energy Strategy for National Security, RMI and Lovins reported that the Dept. of Energy was effectively undercutting the Dept. of Defense by creating a centralized energy infrastructure and increasing our dependence on foreign sources of energy. This unwitting energy policy was deemed risky, uneconomic and unnecassary.


Reduce your Carbon Footprint
Solar electric power systems directly displace energy produced from conventional, high carbon emission sources. They also reduce the need for utility companies to build new, typically polluting, power plants.
