"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 temperatures rising all over the world and the cost of electricity rising even faster, it is now time to start thinking about a cost effective method to air condition your home or business.

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 the State of California is currently offering a cash rebate of up to $1,900.00 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

Over the years we've tested many different cooling technologies and they all had one or more things in common. They either introduced moisture into the occupied space, the installation and maintenance was far to complicated, or the device used far too much energy. We searched for more than a decade for a reliable, high performance, cost effective solar air conditioning system that we could put our name behind and found nothing......that is until now.

The technology behind this revolutionary system was invented by a Russian scientist with a specialty in fluid and air dynamics, that defected to the United States about a decade ago. His patented design has literally rewritten the books on cooling technology. Efficiencies that were once thought to be impossible are easily achieved by these high tech machines. The elegant yet simple design provides for a superior cooling solution that withstands the test of time.

Incredibly a single air conditioner using his patented technology can cool 3,000 sq ft of building space while only using only 1/3 the power of a hair dryer, saving you up to 90% in energy costs without adding moisture to the conditioned space.

This product was recognized by R&D magazine  as one of the "top 100 most technologically significantly products" introduced into the international marketplace. Providing fresh, filtered, comfortable air from the outside they can be sized for industrial, commercial and residential settings. Can be used without or without solar system.

The U.S. Department of Energy reports that this technology "has the potential to have significant impact on an agency's energy bills in terms of reducing both energy and demand costs."

The U.S. Department of Energy also verified these units offer an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 40.

The California Energy Commission listed these units as an energy efficient appliance.

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.

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 Trina Solar for our Emerald series solar systems.

When Reliability And Performance Really Matter

When it comes to aircraft, reliability and performance means everything. That's why Lisa Airplanes chose Trina Solar Cells for their revolutionary Hy-Bird Solar and Hydrogen powered aircraft.
