Bailout Bill - What's in it for you?

One of the provisions of The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 is the extension of the Investment Tax Credit which gives the homeowner 30% off solar systems - this means a direct credit off the tax you owe.

New for this year: No Dollar Limit on the amount of your credit - great news for people wanting to go green.

Plus many states are also offering substantial rebates and incentives to help you achieve your goal of energy independence and to reduce your carbon footprint.

Why Solar?

Conversations today are often about sky-rocketing utility bills, dependence on foreign oil, climate change, and pollution. Solutions for our energy future are available now in the form of clean renewable technologies like solar power.

Solar energy is not only a personal investment; it's also an investment in our planet's future. Invest today and have greater control over tomorrow's energy costs.

Solar Electric Photovoltaic panels


Solar Electric PV Systems

• Lower bills 20-90%
Run meter backwards
• Energy independence
• Increase home value
• No rising electric costs
• No foreign fuel use
• Reduce pollution

• 30% Tax Credit

About 10–20 PV panels can provide enough power for a household. PV systems are modular, you can start with a small system with just a couple of panels and add as needed or as budget allows.

Grid-Connected PV systems can connect with the existing power grid and sell excessive electricity back to the utility with a plan known as Net Metering. An optional battery can store power for use when the system is not producing electricity such as during the night or during blackouts.

Solar Water Heating Panels: ICS system

Solar Water Heater: ProgressivTube

• Reduces heating
costs up to 80-90%
• ZERO operating costs
• No maintenance
• Backup hot water
during blackouts
• Saves 2 Tons CO2 yr

• 30% Tax Credit

Best choice for warm climates. The ProgressivTube passive system is the most cost efficient water heater and it works well in warm and moderate climates. This system should be the only logical choice for the southern warmer states as it provides 80-90% of solar water heating needs, 60 to 70% in moderate climate areas and 50% in the northern colder states. (See map to see if this is the best choice for your area.) ProgressivTube can only be subject to freezing in the areas where hard freeze months exist, and drainage would be used to protect it during these periods.

Solar Water Heating Panel: Active System

Solar Water Heater: HelioPak

• Reduces heating
costs up to 50-80%
• Saves 2 Tons CO2 yr
• Low Maintenance
• Low Operating costs
• Non Polluting

• Cash rebates

Recommended for moderate climates. The HelioPak typically provides 60% to 80% of water heating needs in moderate climate areas and 50% to 70% in colder areas. (See map to see if this is the best choice for your area.) This system can also be designed to handled space heating needs. Closed Loop systems or drainback systems are required for freeze protection in areas where hard freeze months exit. Warmer climate performance is negatively affected by heat exchanger losses preventing it from being the best choice under these conditions.

Most modern wind power is generated in the form of electricity by converting the rotation of turbine blades into electrical current by means of an electrical generator. Wind power is used in large scale wind farms for national electrical grids as well as in small individual turbines for providing electricity to rural residences or grid-isolated locations. Available in different sizes to power anything from small appliances, sailboats & homes to industrial heavy-duty turbines that withstand harsh environments. Grid-Connected turbines available.
