Photovoltaics/Solar Panels
"We must face the prospect of changing our basic ways of living. This change will either be made on our own initiative in a planned way, or be forced on us with chaos and suffering by the inexorable laws of nature." - President Jimmy Carter, 1976
Photovoltaic technology is totally reliable, and our solar industry is now fully mature. In what other industry can you find a 25-year warranty like the one that comes with every solar panel we sell?
And when building a new home, you can easily wrap the cost of the solar system into your 30-year mortgage, making PV cost effective from day one. For a retrofit on an existing home, payback comes in 6-12 years (depending on incentives and electric rates), which translates into a return on investment of between 8% and 16% - far better than what you can earn in the stock, bond, or long-term CD markets. In the commercial sector, the numbers are even better. With federal tax incentives and accelerated depreciation, payback typically comes in 2-5 years, delivering a return on investment of between 20% and 40%.
Solar power substantially increases property value, too. According to the Appraisal Journal (October 1999) of the National Appraiser's Association, home value increases $20 for every $1 achieved in annual energy savings. This means that a 3kW system (the average size system ASSI. sells.) can increase your property value by $20,000, while costing you only $18,000 (with Colorado
You're money ahead from day one.
More important, a PV system allows you to lock in utility rates of less than $0.14 per kWh for 30 years - and many expect that utility electric rates will skyrocket over the next three decades!!

Ideal for a residential location with an existing electrical utility connection. The SOLAR SOLUTIONS interactive system generates power whenever the sun is shining. The power can be used immediately if required, or it can run your electricity meter backwards to reduce your total electrical bill. DC to AC Power Conversion is provided by a Sunny Boy 1800 Watt Inverter. This German-designed inverter uses state-of-the-art maximum power point tracking technology to get the most power possible from the photovoltaic modules. The system operates completely automatically with no interruption of power flow. No batteries are required!
Solar Array: 1.0 kw at rated power. Twenty-Five Year Power Warranty. Includes interconnect cables, watertight connectors and dc disconnect switch.
Custom Aluminum Mounting Structure: corrosion resistant structural aluminum specially designed to accommodate a variety of installation arrangements. Stainless steel hardware included.
Array Power Cable: 40' total length provided.
Sunny Boy 1800 Watt Inverter Incorporates MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology for optimal power conversion, plus advanced protection features such as redundant anti-islanding
Disconnect Switch & Protection Equipment: All required electrical equipment is included to meet electrical code standards and to connect to your existing power panel.
Installation Kit & Guide: roofing sealant & mounting hardware.
