"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.

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.

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. With more than 750,000 Sunny Boy inverters sold and operating worldwide "The Sunny Boy inverter's proven technology makes this unit one of the best grid intertie inverters available on today's market." Like a fine German crafted sports car, Sunny Boy Inverters are engineered and built in Germany, the hotbed of the worlds finest renewable energy technology. We've taken Sunny Boy's unbeatable German 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 small U.S. manufacturer's 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 government owned Phono Solar for our Sapphire series solar systems.

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

Your Solar Investment Is Only As Secure As The Mounting System That You Choose.
 That's Why We Chose HatiCon Mounting Solutions For Our High Performance Solar Systems.



 Strong Box Beam Mounting Rails

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

Low Cost, Light Weight C Shaped Rails Without A Factory Warranty Are Not Permitted In Any Of Our Systems.

The C 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.

Take a close look at our competitor's offerings and we'll bet that 9 times out of 10 you'll find that they're low price is a result of their use of either low cost, thin mounting racks, thin film, thin output transformers or thin solar cells. At Solar Home you won't find any low cost thin or lightweight products in our systems.
