The Brand New Solar Power Tax Credit Is Here !

If you've been considering solar for your home or business, it's now time to celebrate !

 After nearly a year of debates and nine previous attempts, On Friday October 3rd 2008 Congress finally approved a bill that not only extends the Federal 30% tax credit for solar but also removes the $2,000.00 cap that existed on the previous residential tax credit.  The new Federal tax credit offers an incredible 30% with no cap for residential and commercial installations !

You've got to hurry though, rebates all over The U.S. Are dropping fast.

Now that the Federal Tax Credit has been extended and increased, the number of applications that are being submitted to the utilities in an attempt to beat the clock before the current rebates expire has reached record levels.

Don't make the same mistake that so many others have made. The Federal tax credit will be here for the next eight years and as long as you bring your system into service after January 1st 2009 then you'll qualify for the tax credit. Rebates however are limited and are based a first come first served basis so it is imperative that you submit your rebate application as soon as possible. Waiting even a single day to submit your rebate application can result in a reduced rebate or even the entire loss of your state's current rebate.



We're so sure that ours is the best product at the best price, that we'll beat any nationally advertised price on our same, in stock, top of the line solar system or your system is free.

With the cost of natural gas and electricity going through the roof, it is now time to start thinking about your energy budget as a whole.

You can't make your own gasoline and you can't make your own natural gas, but now you CAN make your own electricity. And the best part about it is that the fuel to make own electricity falls from the sky everyday for free. 

Thousands of utility customers throughout the U.S., who were tired of the high cost of electricity have taken advantage of the huge rebates and tax credits which are available for the installation of solar energy systems on their homes and businesses.

For example, Southern California Edison is currently offering a cash rebate of up to $1,550.00 per AC kilowatt. And the Federal Government is offering a 30% tax credit with absolutely no cap residential and commercial applications. And unlike like the old solar energy systems of yesteryear that only produced hot water, these new systems actually produce electricity ! Clean reliable electricity to run lights, TVs, pumps, refrigerators, computers and many other appliances, all with free energy from the Sun.

Depending on the size system you choose and the number of loads you have running during the day, it is actually possible watch the power company's meter run backwards.

Since 1997 the staff here at Solar Home has developed an unmatched level of expertise in the design and implementation of systems that qualify for many State rebate programs. We offer free assistance in the design of your system, we can help you in locating a qualified, experienced contractor in your area and can even assist you with the submission of your rebate application to your State.

With more than 15,000 customers worldwide, we possess the knowledge, the experience and the strategic partnerships to make your transition into solar an experience that's not only enjoyable but also rewarding.


"The single most important criteria when choosing a solar panel is not price nor is it performance. It's the financial strength of the manufacturer behind the solar panel's warranty."

Thousands of U.S. consumers will make the same mistake this Summer that so many have made in the past of trying to save a few dollars by buying non name brand solar panels from small financially unsound manufacturers that probably won't be around in 3 or 4 years. When their solar panels fail due to poor workmanship and or materials, the only thing that these consumers will be left with is a bunch of glass and aluminum on their roofs that they will have to pay to have removed.

Only The Finest Available Products

When it comes to high efficiency and field proven U.S. made reliability nothing tops the performance of a PV Powered inverter. In 2004 PV Powered Inc. of  Bend, Oregon shook the industry's foundation by announcing the world's first CEC rated 96% efficient grid intertie inverter and if that wasn't enough soon after announcing this incredible accomplishment, they absolutely floored the competition with the industry's first 10 year standard warranty. Needless to say this literally forced inverter manufacturers around the world back to the drawing board.

 Since that time PV Powered has lead the way with a record of reliability that very few inverter manufacturers have come close to touching. PV Powered's rock solid design makes their inverters almost bullet proof which is why PV Powered inverters are one of the most widely used products in the country. We've taken the U.S. born and bred performance and reliability of the PVP4800's a step further by adding one of the world's highest performance solar panels available.

When it comes to purchasing a solar system for your home or business it is crucial that you take a very close look at the solar panels that the dealer is offering you. After all, solar panels are the workhorse of any solar system. Far too many consumers simply purchase what ever it is that a dealer happens to have available without even looking at a specification sheet. Performance that is lacking by just a few percentage points or an inferior warranty can make all the difference in the world over the expected life of a solar panel.

With more than nine years of experience operating our own state of the art, in-house solar repair center, we know what technologies perform well in the real world and what technologies do not.

 Over the years, we've seen expensive, name brand, solar panels fail only after a few months worth of use. We've even seen popular U.S. made solar panels fail soon after the manufacturer closed its doors leaving its customers with no warranty.

This is why it is important that you choose a solar panel manufacturer that is well established in the industry and has the financial strength to be there in the event that a warranty claim arises. This is exactly why we chose Suntech for our Gold series solar systems.

 

Suntech knows how important quality is to its customers and has implemented a tiered, multi-step approach to quality control that follows the production of its solar products from inception to completion. At Suntech every quality control officer is given ownership of individual production processes to ensure responsible management. Standard Operating Procedures are strictly adhered to and a key focus of each supervisor.

 At each level of quality control there is a redundant series of inspections by multiple qualified QC professionals ensuring that each product meets their stringent, internal expectations of quality.

When it comes to performance, reliability, quality and value, absolutely no other brand tops Suntech.

Thin might be in when it comes to waistlines and the latest HDTV sets but when it comes to securing the bulk of your investment to the roof of your home you want the strongest mounting system made out of the thickest aircraft grade aluminum that money can buy. The engineers at UniRac understand this premise and we do too so we've added the finest mounting rack systems available today. The UniRac SolarMount system is unsurpassed in quality and durability, rated to withstand 120 miles per hour wind speeds, UniRac SolarMounts are engineered to last a lifetime.

Finally we top off our systems with the best price that you'll find anywhere. In fact, we're so sure that ours is the best deal available, that we'll beat any nationally advertised price on our same, in stock, top of the line systems or your system is free.

Unlike other dealers that will sell you a barebones system, our premium quality kits include everything you see listed above.

This System uses solar panels that have been manufactured with solar cells that have been cut from solid ingots of silicon.

When shopping for solar panels, always insist on solar panels that use solar cells that have been cut from a solid silicon ingot.
Many of the solar panels that are on the market that use silicon that is not cut from solid silicon ingots may offer lower efficiencies, poorer tolerances or lesser warranties.

   

 


Weight Matters

We only uses heavy duty inverters with 60 Hertz based, copper wound output transformers for high efficiency and unbeatable durability and performance.

 

Copper is expensive but its time tested performance in inverters is undeniable.

Since the year 2000 our founder has owned and operated one of the largest most experienced factory authorized  inverter repair centers in the nation and we know the value of using a heavy duty 60 Hertz based output transformer.

 Because of our in depth knowledge concerning the design, construction and repair of inverters, we simply will not use HF (high frequency) inverters in our systems.

Before making a buying decision, better ask how much the other dealer's inverter weighs, then ask to see the inverter's specification sheet to be sure.

Many of our competitors use inverters with lower cost, HF (high frequency) output transformers.

 

Compare the PV Powered PVP4800 inverter that we offer with the Fronius® IG 5100 that the other dealers offer:

Comparison

Fronius® IG 5100

PV Powered PVP4800

CEC Weighted Efficiency

94.5%

96%
A higher California Energy Commission efficiency rating means
that you'll get a higher rebate in many state as well as more
wattage out of your system to your electric meter.

Inverter Weight

42 LBS

 135 LBS
The higher weight in the PV Powered PVP4800 is due to the heavy duty copper wound toroidal transformer that is used in this inverter.

What more can we say, If you want a lower efficiency, lighter weight inverter that's going to give you a smaller per PTC watt rebate then those other dealers have exactly what your looking for.


Strong I Beam Mounting Rails

I beams have a long proven history in the construction industry. The I beam's efficient load bearing design lends itself perfectly for securing your investment into solar onto your roof's surface.

The U shaped rail that many other dealers offer provides a flimsier design. To prove our point ask your dealer to provide a sample of their U shaped mounting rail. Lay the sample on its side and simply stand on it.

Note what happens to this rail. Next try the same thing with a ClickSys I beam rail from Unirac and you'll know right away which design offers you more piece of mind.

 Always ask your dealer to show you a sample of the mounting rails the he's going to use on your roof. ******

Important: If you've been provided with a quote with no mention of the brand or model number of the mounting system that your dealer is using, then the dealer might be trying to slip in one of those cheaper racks that are available on the market. This is a common practice amongst less reputable  dealers. Always demand to see a full list of material including brands and models.

Here's Why This Solar System Blows The Competition's Solar System Out Of The Water.

1. Suntech Solar is now the largest solar manufacturer in the world with over one Gigawatt of production in 2008.

2. Suntech Solar panels are known the world over for their superior quality and performance and have one of the best per Watt PTC ratings for any mono or poly solar panel on the US market.

3. You'll get a bigger per Watt rebate in many states when comparing the Suntech Solar panels used in this system to many other solar panel in it's class on the market.

4. Suntech Solar Panels use solar cells that are cut from a solid ingot of silicon which provide higher efficiency. Many of our competitors use less expensive, lower efficiency thin film solar panels or solar panels with cells that are not cut from a solid ingot of silicon.

5. If your dealer is trying to convince you to buy thin film solar panels and he's trying to convince you that his panels offer high efficiency, keep this mind; Given the current state of the technology, using the word thin film and the words high efficiency in the same sentence is an oxymoron or a contradiction of terms.. Silicon based thin film products are among the lowest efficiency products on the market when compared to mono-crystalline or even poly-crystalline solar panels.

6. The top of the line PV Powered inverter used in this system is engineered and manufactured in the U.S.A. and has a 96% efficiency for a bigger rebate in many states !

7. The top of the line PV Powered inverter used in this system uses a heavy duty, 60 hz based, copper wound output transformer. Many of the inverters offered by the other dealers are manufactured in third world countries and use lower cost high frequency transformers.

8. The mounting racks that are included in this system are true heavier duty rated U.S. made Unirac mounting racks, not the lower cost, light duty mounting racks that require more holes to be drilled in your roof that are offered by many of our competitors.
