Solar for Your Home
There are abundant reasons for you to consider going solar today. Whether you are committed to significantly reducing your CO2 emissions to help fight global warming, or tired of paying an ever-increasing utility bill, solar offers a great solution. There are two distinct types of solar technologies - solar electric and solar thermal.

Solar Electric
also commonly known as Photovoltaics (PV)
- This technology is used to generate electricity. The solar PV panels convert sunlight directly into clean, pollution-free electricity.
- By installing a solar electric system on your home you can eliminate or significantly reduce your electric utility bill.
Solar Thermal
also commonly known as Solar Water Heating
- This technology is used to heat water, either for domestic hot water, space heating, or pool heating.
- Solar can produce enough energy to offset 70-80% of your energy costs for hot water production, which can significantly reduce your gas utility bill.
