Introduction to Solar Economics

Of all the Solar Energy Benefits, the single, greatest benefit to solar power aside from its promise as a clean, sustainable, solution to the energy crisis and global warming, is the economic benefit it provides. That said, there is no single economic benefit to solar energy; there are many. For instance, installation incentives like government [...]

Introduction to Going Solar

Solar Sun in Sky

Solar Energy has great potential as a solution to the energy crisis. It’s clean, renewable, and readily available. Anything can be powered with Solar Energy, including everything in your home or business, such as computers, lights, ovens, dishwashers, printers, and more. The fact is, even without installing a complete photovoltaic system, you can power individual [...]

Tex-Cote Coolwall

Reflective Coatings Homeowners might imagine that wall insulation should be their first line of defense against the Sun’s harsh rays. But insulation alone isn’t sufficient protection from the Sun’s radiant energy (heat!). Enter ceramic paint, which purports to insulate homes from the outside elements, reducing heat transfer. These claims were debunked, however, by the Federal [...]

Blown-In Insulation for Arizona

According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health*, 46 million homes are under-insulated. This makes them less comfortable, and increases heating and cooling costs. In states like Arizona, where the summer months already strain air conditioners, insulation helps keep cool air in and costs low. Most homes already have some type of [...]

Thin Film Solar in Arizona means no rebates

Thin Film Solar Technology entered the solar market in 1976, offering an affordable alternative to other clean energy technologies, like monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels.  Despite its affordability, the efficiency rating of thin film is still much less than other photovoltaic technologies. Thin film solar (amorphous silicon solar) technology has a completely different production method [...]

Buy Solar in Arizona

Buying solar is a big decision for many people. Although a solar-power system increases the value of your home by a significant amount, the price tag of a quality photovoltaic (PV) system can be high. It’s hard to justify purchasing a $40,000 system to save a few hundred dollars in utility expenses each month. Nevertheless, [...]
