Now is the time to become your own Power Producer.
We can help with all of your power system needs.

By harnessing the power of the sun, wind or water, people all over the world produce their own pollution-free reliable electricity.  Technological advances, government assistance, the need for reliable power, and the desire to reduce the use of the fossil fuels have made renewable energy systems attractive to people in the United States and worldwide.

Solar technology makes it possible for home and business owners to have dependable power from renewable sources.  Mass production has significantly reduced the price of renewable energy systems and their components.  Solar and battery-based backup power systems can ensure reliable power even when the utility grid is down.  When the utility grid is working, systems feed solar-generated electrons back into the utility grid.

the use of renewable sources such as wind, water and sun, increases our energy self-sufficiency and fosters economic and national security.  As more families, individuals and businesses generate their own renewable electricity we will reduce pollution, provide more electricity for all to use, reduce the use of fossil fuels, and make the electricity on the grid "greener".

Deregulation has created an atmosphere of change in the United States.  We are experiencing higher electricity rates and electricity shortages.  Laws, referred to as "Net Metering", allow solar-energy-system owners to feed their generated electricity back to the utility.  The system owner receives a credit or payment for solar electrons fed into the grid.  In other words, you pay only for the net electricity you consume - the amount you generate and feed back from our solar system.  With a solar electric system, you can provide yourself with some protection from the fluctuating prices of fuel, because you system's fuel is the sun.  Additionally, state, local and federal tax incentives and rebates have made obtaining a system more economical.

Types of Power Systems
Power systems vary in design depending on what energy sources are used and what purpose they must fulfill.  Our products have information to help you design the systems listed below.

Utility-Intertie Solar Systems
Sometimes called "gridtie", these systems can be used anywhere that the electricity utility allows "net metering", where a solar or wind powered system turns your electric meter backwards when it is producing more power than you are using.  This type of system provides no back-up power when utility power fails.

Utility-Intertie Solar Systems with Backup
A utility-intertie system with battery backup feeds excess solar electricity to the grid and provide back up power when the utility grid is down.  With this type of system you sacrifice some power generation efficiency in exchange for power whenever there is a power failure.  The amount of backup power depends on the size of the battery and electrical loads.

Off-Grid Power Systems
This type of power system is independent of the utility grid.  It can use solar electric modules, a wind generator or a micro-hydroelectric generator or a combination of any or all of them to produce your electric power.  The owner of this type of system often uses a gas or diesel generator for backup when the power system does not meet all of the user's needs.

Determine What System Meets Your Needs
Use the charts and worksheets on this website to be come familiar with the design of these systems and consult us to pick out the exact components.

State and Federal Incentives
There is a federal tax incentive called the "Energy Credit" that allows businesses to take a 30% credit for renewable energy equipment (solar electric, solar thermal and wind powered systems).  In addition, there is an accelerated 5-year depreciation schedule that allows businesses to write 100% of the systems cost off their taxable income over the first five years.

Many states offer rebates and tax incentives to home owners to lower the installed cost of a utility connected power system.
