Why Go Solar?

Savings Every Month

A SOLNV solar electric system powers your home, so you use considerably less electricity from the public utility.

Hedge Against Rate Hikes

Offset energy prices and unpredictable rate hikes by generating your own free power for decades.

Protect The Environment

Most electricity is generated by burning coal that emits pollutants into the atmosphere. Solar electricity comes from a clean and renewable source — the sun.

Reliable Power

SOLNV sells only quality products that are backed with a limited 25-year warranty on power output and we know the sun rises and falls every single day!!!

Solar makes a lot of sense, financially

The math is actually pretty simple. If your monthly electric bill is more than $50, you could save money every month with a SOLNV solar electric system.  Some homeowners may even earn back two to three times the cost. A lower electric bill and a system that pays for itself are just two reasons why solar is a smart investment.

 

Environment Impact

  1. Solar Can Help Offset Climate Change – From Main Street to Wall Street, people are realizing the effects that our actions have on the environment – and they're going solar to minimize those effects and lower their carbon footprint.
  2. Until recently, there hasn't been much of a choice but to use the electricity provided by conventional methods. With advances in technology and increased consumer awareness, however, solar electricity is now a very feasible option. So, while you'll be lowering your electric bill, you'll also be helping to raise our air quality.
  3. Coal-fired power plants are responsible for 72% of all sulfur dioxide emissions in the U.S. Yet solar electricity produces absolutely no pollution. One million homes using solar electricity would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4.3 million tons per year. That's the equivalent of removing 850,000 cars from the road. And by using more solar electricity, fewer power plants that produce greenhouse gases would need to be built.
  4. SOLNV Solar Is 100 Percent Clean – A SOLNV solar electric system generates no harmful emissions-zero. This means you can power your home with 100 percent pure sunshine that's not only clean, it's also renewable and abundant. So abundant in fact, it's been calculated that a 100-square-mile array of solar modules in the Southwestern United States could generate enough electricity to power the entire country.

The TOP 10 financial benefits of going solar

  1. Savings Every Month. A SOLNV solar electric system powers your home so you can use considerably less electricity from the public utility.
  2. State Rebates And Federal Tax Credits. Your state's public utility rebates and the federal government's tax credits can help pay for a substantial percentage of your system and installation.
  3. Solar Gives You Protection Against Electricity Rate Hikes. Imagine that you had been able to lock in automobile gas prices in 2004. You'd be paying less than $2 a gallon not only today, but also for decades to come. With every gas price increase, you'd be saving even more money. That's exactly what you're doing with the cost of electricity when you install a solar electric system.
  4. Because solar installation is a fixed cost, savings increase as utility rates rise. Essentially, you're building in a hedge against future rate increases. And rising utility rates are definitely something you can count on, especially considering that they've gone up an average of 5% per year for the past 30 years. In 2006, some states saw the highest tier residential rates jump as much as 55% in just one year.
  5. Solar Increases The Value Of Your Home or Business. A solar electric system can increase a home's value by $20,000 for every $1,000 in reduced annual operating costs.
  6. Solar Offers You Energy Independence. By switching to solar electricity, we can help alleviate our over dependence on foreign sources. Solar electricity is used where it is made, so there are no transportation or delivery costs. Solar electricity's price stability is also independent of the effects of natural disasters, foreign political instability or trade disputes. The supply chain extends simply from the sun to your roof.
  7. While you are enjoying reliable solar electricity, you are also sharing that reliability with everyone else. Doesn't it make sense that if everyone had solar electricity systems, the public power grid would be more reliable since there would be less strain on it?
  8. Your Utility Meter Spins Backwards With Net Metering. Net metering programs in 38 U.S. states and the District of Columbia help increase your savings. With net metering, your electric meter tracks your net power usage, spinning forwards when you use electricity from the utility, and backwards when your system is generating more electricity than you need. Your local utility or www.dsireusa.org can fill you in on specific details of the net metering program in your area.
  9. How Net Metering Works: During the day, the system "banks" any surplus on the utility grid, feeding it back to the utility and generating a credit on your bill. The more electricity you produce, the more you save. At night, the system automatically draws the electricity you need from the grid. This forwards and backwards flow of electricity is completely automatic, and provides a smooth, uninterrupted flow of power for all your household needs.
  10. Federal tax credits and public utility rebates when available can help pay for a substantial percentage of your system and installation. Depending on where you live, there may be additional incentives available from your state government. Your certified SOLNV installer can explain what savings are available to make your system even more affordable. For rebate information in your state, visit the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency at www.dsireusa.org.

How Solar Works

No Changes In How You Use Electricity

Solar electricity works exactly the same as the electricity you buy from the utility company. You turn on lights, plug in lamps and power appliances the same way you do right now. In fact, if you didn't see solar modules on the roof, you'd never notice any difference-except a lower electric bill.

Relax, It's Easier Than You Think

While the science of converting sunshine into electricity is complex, the idea is pretty simple. Solar electricity is generated by a group of solar modules called an array that's installed on your roof or in your yard. When sunlight falls on the solar modules, a DC electrical current is created instantly. The DC electricity is fed into an inverter that changes it to standard AC electricity - the same kind your home already uses.

Solar Power Is Highly Reliable

Solar electricity has been in use for more than 50 years and is proven to be highly dependable. Unlike other methods used to generate electricity, solar doesn't rely on moving parts that can wear out. SOLNV modules come with a 25-year limited warranty on power output, and some systems installed more than 40 years ago are still performing.

Little Maintenance Is Required

Occasionally, a solar array should be rinsed off with a hose to clear the dust or debris that blocks sunlight and reduces efficiency. That's about all that's required.
