Solar Credits & Rebates

Federal tax credits are available for Solar Hot Water Systems, Solar Electric Systems, Solar Attic Fans, and Tubular Skylights. Some Florid State Rebates are also available. Click Here for more details.

Solar Lights or Tubular Skylights

Benefits: Solar lights, when installed properly are leak proof and heatproof, noise free and maintenance free because there are no moving parts. They can provide for 3 times as much light as a traditional skylight. Tubular skylights also block out up to 99% of harmful UV rays that fade carpet and furniture fabric. Professional installation generally takes around 2 hours.

SMALL (10") lights up to 150 sq. ft.
MEDIUM (13") lights up to 300 sq. ft.
LARGE (18") lights up to 500 sq. ft.
X-LARGE (21") lights up to 700 sq. ft.

Solar Attic Fans

Solar Attic Fans are a simple and environmentally sensible solution that can save you money by venting hot air out of your attic space with a solar powered fan that is both compact and quiet.

Benefits include: No operating costs, No electrical hookup, Cools your attic, Can reduces your cooling costs, May extend the life of your roof shingles, Can reduces heat & moisture buildup in your attic, May eliminates mold and mildew.

10 watt model with 850 cubic feet per minute exchange for up to 1200 sq. ft. attic.
20 watt model with 1250 cubic feet per minute exchange for up to 2000 sq. ft. attic.
30 watt model with 1550 cubic feet per minute exchange for up to 2500 sq. ft. attic

Solar Pool Heaters

Benefits include: Enjoy a longer swim season in your pool with Solar Heat. Solar pool heaters eliminate pool heating costs with FREE heat from the sun. A solar pool heater can also add value to your home. Solar pool heaters can also control overheating of pool water in summer months and are environmentally-friendly.

How it works:
1. Set automatic control unit for desired water temperature.
2. Sensor detects changes in solar heat and tells the automatic control unit when there is energy available to work efficiently.
3. Your pool pump sends cold water from the pool through the solar collectors.
4. Solar collectors transfer the sun's heat to the water as it flows through the collectors.
5. Warm, solar-heated water flows back to the pool, continuously circulating through the collectors until it reaches pre-set temperature levels. At night and in limited sunshine, a sensor prevents the pool from being cooled by automatically triggering the controller to shut off the system and drain water from the collectors.

Solar Hot Water Heaters

Passive solar water heaters are self-contained, single unit systems that integrate the solar collector and storage tank. In most applications, it functions as a pre-heater to an instantaneous or conventional water heater.

Benefits include: Lower utility cost today, and no future cost increases, Providing additional hot water storage capacity for your home or business, A clean, environmentally friendly energy source, Very low to no operating maintenance expense, Maintains regular hot water supply during electric utility outages, Requires only local water pressure. A "Passive" solar water heater requires no mechanical or electronic components to operate.

Solar Electric Systems

Solar Electric Systems include photovoltaic panels that provides clean, sustainable solar electricity solutions for homes or businesses, providing affordable, reliable and clean energy. Solar power combats the rising and unpredictable cost of energy, provides increased supply reliability and helps offset the effects of global warming.

Solar Electric Benefits include: Clean, safe energy, Simple operation, no moving parts, Long term reliability, Shelter from escalating energy costs, Peace of mind about your energy impacts, Increased value of home or business, Independence from dirty energy sources, Keeps energy dollars in the United States.

How it works: PV systems convert sunlight directly to electricity. They work any time the sun is shining, but more electricity is produced when the sun is more intense and strikes the PV modules directly, (as when rays of sunlight are perpendicular to the PV modules). Unlike solar thermal systems for heating water, PV does not use the sun's heat to make electricity. Instead, electrons freed by the interaction of sunlight with semiconductor materials in PV cells are captured in an electric current.

PV produces power intermittently because it works only when the sun is shining. This is not a problem for PV systems connected to the utility grid, because any additional electricity required is automatically delivered to you by your utility. In the case of non-grid, or stand-alone, PV systems, batteries can be purchased to store energy for later use.
