Their System
Our System !
Here's a comparison of our 3,240 watt system to one of those "dot org" dealers that offers Solar Home systems.
When you take a closer look at the components that are used in their system, it soon becomes obvious that there is no comparison. Just another classic example of the old saying "you get what you pay for "

System Price |
$16.999.00 (That's $5.66 a Watt) |
$16,200.00 (That's $5.00 a Watt. Our price is a better buy from the very start and our system offers 240 more Watts of power ! In fact if our system was rated at the same lower Wattage as theirs, then our system would be priced at $15,000.00. That's $1,999.00 less than their lower performance system !) |

Efficiency Rating Of Solar Panels |
12.7% |
14.1% (Higher efficiency means that our panels delivers more power per unit area !) |
|
Type Of Solar Cell Technology Used. |
Their solar panels use lower cost, lower efficiency solar cells that are not cut from a solid ingot of silicon. |
Our solar panels use time tested technology that results in higher efficiency cells that have been cut from a solid ingot of silicon. |

Solar Panel Per Watt CEC PTC Rating. |
0.888 |
0.902 (Our solar panel has a better per Watt CEC PTC rating. In many states, a higher CEC PTC rating means that you'll receive a bigger cash rebate !) |
|
Wattage Rating Of Inverter. |
Even though their inverter uses the number 3000 in their part number, their inverter is only rated at 2700 watts ! |
3000 Watts ! (No marketing gimmicks necessary !) |
|
Type Of Inverter Technology Used. |
Their system includes a lower cost, lower efficiency, lighter weight inverter that does not use a copper wound heavy duty output transformer ! Weight 26 LBS. |
Our system includes a top of the line SMA, German made inverter that uses a heavy duty 60 Hz based, copper wound output transformer. (Copper is expensive but its time tested performance in inverters is undeniable ! Our inverter weighs in at a hefty 88 Lbs. Their lightweight inverter weighs only 26 pounds !) |
|
Inverter Efficiency Rating. |
94% |
95.5% (In many states, a higher efficiency inverter means a bigger rebate ! A higher efficiency inverter also mean more power to your electric meter per watt of solar power on your roof, which further reduces your electric bill ! |

Experience. |
Here's where it gets real interesting, we found that 9 different businesses are operating out of the same address and the same suite number as this business.......NINE BUSINESSES ! They included: 1. A solar business I promise, we're not making this up ! All from the same address and suite number. On every one of these websites, they claim each website helps more than a 1000 customers a day find the products that the need and that all nine businesses have been in business since 1998. We don't know about the rest of their businesses but if you look up their solar website's domain name's registration history you'll find that their domain name was registered to a non profit organization with a different owner as late as 2006 and this company is obviously not a non-profit organization. Further checking and you'll find that this company's owners also founded a potty training website. Hmm.....solar and potty training.....interesting ! If you dig a little further you'll find a press release from this company's owners, boasting about how they took their humble potty training website and turned it into a huge success within a few months. Solar experts or Internet marketing experts ? You decide ! |

Unknown, we have tried to call these people at least a couple of dozen times at different times of the day and all we ever get is the same music on hold from their answering machine and then were asked to leave a message ! |
Call us Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 5:30 We answer our phones. We own and operate from a commercially zoned showroom and warehouse that you may visit any time you like. Click here for directions. |
The choice is simple. With our system you'll get a much lower price per watt, a top of the line, name brand, German made inverter with a heavy duty, 60 Hz based, copper wound output transformer, a bigger per Watt cash rebate in many states, higher efficiency solar panels, solar panels that are manufactured with solar cells that have been cut from a solid ingot of silicon, solar panels with a higher per Watt CEC PTC rating for a bigger rebate and rebate application processing experience that can't be touched by the competition !
This dealer challenges you to compare their system to any other system on the Internet. They even claim to offer a better price and better quality components.
We've got two words for this "dot org" dealer
"Challenge This !"
(Hmm.......shouldn't someone tell this "for profit" dealer that "dot org" extensions are typically associated with non-profit organizations, or maybe they already know that ?)
