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 Energy Efficiency
Making our homes and businesses energy efficient is one of the most fundamental components to Going Green. After all, if we use less energy in our buildings, our carbon footprint remains smaller. That is, the less energy we use, the less significant our detrimental impact to the environment. Furthermore, the expenses associated with energy, such [...]

Introduction to Going Solar
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 [...]

Introduction to Photovoltaic Solar Panels
The technology behind photovoltaic (PV) solar panels enables use of clean, efficient, renewable solar energy. It presents a compelling alternative to standard utility power for Arizona consumers looking to go green and save money. Unlike fossil-fuel energy sources, solar does not pollute the atmosphere with carbon emissions and is at top generating capacity during peak [...]

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, [...]
