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 $1,100.00 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.

 

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.

Ask any alternative energy engineer, installer or dealer and they'll all tell you the same thing. Outback inverters are built to last ! Outback's legendary design has now proven itself in one of the most harshest environments on the planet, the Iraqi battlefield !

Read what ,Master Gunnery Sergeant Larter of the US Marine Corp. had to say about the performance of Outback's VFX3524M Pure Sine Wave Inverter.

MasterGunnsLarter Junior Member Member # 198 Rate Member

posted April 18, 2004 06:59 AM                      My Explosive Ordnance Disposal (Bomb Squad) unit bought 20 VFX3524M late last year just prior to re-deploying to Iraq and they are performing flawlessly. Last year during OIF we were using commercial XXXXXXXX* and XXXXXXXX* inverters to recharge batteries and power our equipment, but we had problems with durability. When we got back to the states we researched and dicovered the Outback family of inverters. Robin was kind enough to send out two samples for us to test. He sent a VFX3524M and a FX2024M w/turbo. Both worked great, but we decided on the 3524 due to our power requirements. After a long drawn out battle we received authorization to buy one for each of our vehicles. After arriving in country and waiting for all of our gear to arrive we were finally able to wire and mount our inverters. We used 25' slave cables to connect to the power receptacle on the HMMWV and then cut a 100' heavy duty extension cord to wire them in with. For the AC-in 25' and the AC-out 75'. Then we plug in a power strip to connect everything. With the 75' cord we can run power out quite a ways and if we need just a little more the slave cable allows us another 25'. We use them to recharge our robots, computers, power tools and myriad other electronics. So far they have proven extremely reliable and all of my teams swear by them.  Thanks guys for making something "Marine Proof." R/S MGySgt Samuel Larter CSSB-1 EOD SNCOIC

Notice the smiling face of one happy Marine !

Under this inverter's tough, cast aluminum skin you'll find more muscle than a Schwarzenegger movie and the latest in microprocessor based brains to deliver that raw power with the precision of a perfect sine wave.

The FX series inverter started and continues to lead the revolution in advanced DC to AC inverter design. With it's unique, sealed, gasketed, die-cast aluminum casing, it's virtually impervious to the major causes of inverter failure. Contaminants such as moisture, dirt, insects and small animals which would spell death to an ordinary inverter, can't touch this beauty !

The OutBack true sinewave inverter/charger is a complete power solution. It incorporates a DC to AC sinewave inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch housed within a die-cast aluminum chassis. Intelligent multistage battery charging runs your generator less, and prolongs the life of your batteries.

 Built-in networked communications enables multiple units to be stacked and connected with other OutBack power electronics providing industry leading integration and near infinite application flexibility. The exclusive modular system architecture means that increased power output is just an additional inverter/charger away. Their flagship FX series uses a sealed chassis that can operate in the harshest environmental conditions such as high humidity and corrosive salt air. The VFX series uses a vented chassis with "bug proof" screened openings that allow high output AC power in the hottest of operating conditions.

OutBack Power inverter/chargers are the only choice when you need a true sinewave, powerful, modular and reliable power solution for your home, business or extreme application. We've taken Outback's unbeatable U.S. made craftsmanship and reliability 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 publicly traded Perlight Solar for our Starfire™ series solar systems.
