by putting a solar electric power system on your home, business or public building.
For decades, off-grid standalone power systems – not connected to utility electric transmission lines – have generated power using solar energy for remote homes, communications facilities, telemetry, traffic control, public transportation, remote mining and drilling and
scores of other applications. Now, people who live on the utility grid can economically install and obtain the benefits of solar and renewable energy systems.

Lock in your cost of electricity
The higher the percent of your total electricity needs generated by your solar system, the less affected you will be by constantly rising costs of conventionally generated electric power.
Obtain tax credits and rebates
Tax credits and rebates are available in many states to people and businesses who install solar powered products. See www.dsireusa.org for the latest rebate and tax credit information for your area.
Feed power back to the utility
In many states, you can send your home-generated power back to the utility and get credit for the power you feed into the utility grid.
Generate green power
Generate electricity with energy from the sun, wind or water, producing virtually no pollution or emissions.
Gain power independence
With the use of batteries and possibly a generator as needed, you can rely on your own generating capacity, and not on the vagaries of public utilities.
Ensure uninterrupted power
With a battery backup system, you can keep your appliances running during utility power outages.
No moving parts!
Solar electricity is the only form of energy generation that does not involve any moving part, substantially decreasing maintenance requirements and increasing reliability and long equipment life.
