We look forward to providing you with clean and renewable solar power and now a new payment option of 365 days same as cash.
How wonderful is it to have such a well known figure embracing the sun’s power? This speaks volumes to the fact that there is a financial incentive as well as ecological incentive to going Solar. Please check out the article about Evander Holyfield deciding to go Solar in his own back yard.
I found this blog today that I thought was very interesting and worth sharing with everyone. Peter Lynch does a great job of walking you thru the process of receiving grant money in lieu of a tax credit. Click here to read about how the process works.
I stumbled upon a wonderful map today that shows just how interested the US is in going Solar. Once you have the map up click on time lapse and see just how interested the US is in going Solar. I believe this is a great indicator of what we can expect to see in the coming months and years for the solar industry and a fantastic look at how people really do want to go green now and in the future.
With all of the monies that are being pushed towards renewable energy sources, Solar is poised to make large advances. Nanosolar has recently done just that with their 3rd generation technology of Solar modules and their unique way of production. Check out this recent innovation and get ready for Solar prices to start to become very competitive and very attractive to not only the commercial customer, but the residential customer also.
Today I would like to address the myth about solar energy and its effectiveness in states outside of California, Arizona, New Mexico, etc…
I constantly run into individuals who believe that Solar Energy is only available in usable quantities in the Southwestern United States. How did this myth or misnomer come about? Does sunlight change in different parts of the world? Is the Southwest part of the United States the only good location for Solar?
Of course the answer to these questions seems pretty obvious so I will expand upon each of them.
First and foremost is the question about good sunlight in other parts of North America. Yes the sunlight that is received in the Southwestern part of the the US is very good, but so is the sunlight in most of North America. The amount of sunlight that we receive is very sufficient for the use and application of Solar. The reason that the southwest is considered to be the best location for Solar is due to the amount of sunlight they recieve in comparison to other parts of North America. The map shows us the amount of Solar radiation per month across the United States. This is a measurement that is used to gather how much power a Solar Array can produce during a giving month due to your individual location. As the map shows us, the United States receives significant sunlight when compared to the world leader in Solar production Germany, which has the same amount of sunlight as Alaska. So the answer here is that there are better parts of the country for solar, but anywhere in the US is a good place for Solar.
Next is does sunlight change throughout the world, no. The amount of sunlight changes, but the type of sunlight does not. As we are all aware, you go to the beach and get burnt. However, if you go to a Caribbean beach you get fried! That is because the sun light is more direct in places closer to the equator. This allows for a stronger ray of light and typically more sunlight during the day time hours. The path of the sun is also a factor that is to be considered when talking about location. When considering Solar power you will need to consider the angle at which you will place them at. For each location in the world there is a peak angle that you should have your solar panels so that they receive the most light and most direct sun possible. This way you get what you pay for. And as you can imagine the angle that you place the panels doesn’t have to be as steep the closer you get to the equator.
Lastly is how did this misnomer come about? I have no idea how this came about, but I can understand how it would have spread given the limited knowledge on Solar that has been accessable in the past. However, we do have many great venues for Solar information now via ASES and other organizations like it, that provide the latest in Solar News.
I hope this helps to clear up one of the most widely talked about myths, is my sunlight good enough for solar.
Today consumers want to save money and what better way to save money than using the Free energy of the sun to heat your water. Heating your water with traditional water heaters are the second highest demand on your home or businesses electrical needs, with heating and cooling being the first. A solar hot water system can provide between 50 to 70 %of your hot water needs. Each month you pay your utility provider to heat your water and a good portion of that water has to be reheated. What better way to help consumers or businesses save money than to use the sun to provide that same service tax free. Once you purchase a Hot Water Heating System you take a step closer to not having to pay your utility provider to heat and reheat water for washing clothes, washing your dishes, and taking baths.
When you purchase a Solar Hot Water Heater your return on your investment can vary, but generally you are looking at 3-7 years depending on the credits or rebates available to you. FREE!! There isn’t a better way to save money than FREE. After that payback period is reached you have a system that will produce hot water for you and your family or business for the next 20-30 years. Also, the value of your home or business is increased, because now you have an appliance that is not using, but giving you power. Wow, that is a new concept, an appliance that is producing power for you. Some refer to Hot water systems as Solar Thermal Energy Plants. What a great way to think of this appliance. You would have a hot water plant on your roof or where ever the location may be.
The ability to save money now and in the long run is now, take advantage of it!
