Solar House Plans For Living Off Grid

by ShaneBurke

The world is committing crime. Every moment of every day, we
consume oil. We shed blood, and kill Earth to burn oil as energy.
Why? When the same energy is  attainable free from the sun! The
Technology within the solar industry is here and now. It's ready
to take on the largest portion of household energy requirements.
The only thing preventing you from capturing your own solar
energy is the cost.

Consumers generally have two priorities when installing a solar
panel system. First, that the system be economical and second,
that the system produce as much solar energy as possible. Some
consumers have a cost-is-no-option mentality. In that case, we
integrate the best current technology in the solar industry to
install a solar panel system producing maximum solar energy by
today's standards.
As of May 2008, an efficient solar panel system for a 2000 sq.
ft. home costs $13,000 - $15,000 after tax rebates and
incentives.

The solar industry is totally unorganized. In a nutshell, here
are the ropes that one must jump through in order to receive
rebates. Each state has their own certified systems that our able
to receive the State tax rebate. Uncertified systems must go
through a slow certification process.

In other words, your brand of solar panels may not be rebate
worthy in another State (as if it were another country) because
that brand has not yet been certified. So, in each State, every
solar panel must go through a very long process to become market
ready, within that particular State.

A national certification will ease these issues, enable more
solar panel installations, and hence drop the price of the
technology. Striking the price range of more consumers is key for
the solar outfitting of the United States.

U.S. Installation Requirements. Here is the next major obstacle.
A Licensed, NABCEP Licensed Contractor must install a State
certified solar panel system for you to qualify for the full tax
incentives and rebates offered in your community. Unfortunately,
there are only 60 new North American Board of Certified Energy
Practitioners licenses granted annually. That needs to change to
meet installation demands.

One of the NABCEP Licensed contractors in our network will
guarantee quality and assurance throughout the installation of
your system. We will do whatever it takes to get a NABCEP
certified installer out to your project to grant you the 30% tax
rebate. We will send a certified installation team to your region
within six months of your request.

Currently, solar panel installation/distribution companies can
operate in California and achieve something remarkable. The
phenomenon of selling solar panels at higher retail prices than
any other state sells solar panels. But due to the state rebates,
Californians pay thousands less for their solar panel systems.

This has caused a clot of solar businesses in the state of
California, meanwhile the rest of the country is starving for
licensed NABCEP solar contractors and solar panel system
distributors to start the grass roots effect in the other 49
states. The demand exists.

How Do Solar Panel (Photovoltaic) Systems Work? A photovoltaic
(PV) or solar cell is the basic building block of a Solar Panel
(or solar electric) system. An individual PV cell is usually
quite small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power. To
boost the power output of PV cells, we connect them together to
form larger units called modules. Modules, in turn, can be
connected to form even larger units called arrays or Solar Panel
Systems. In this way, we can build systems able to meet any
electric power need, no matter how small or large.

Almost all of today's solar cell modules do not concentrate
sunlight but use only what the sun produces naturally, what
researchers call "one sun insolation," which achieves an
efficiency of 12 to 18 percent. However, by using an optical
concentrator, sunlight intensity can be increased, squeezing more
electricity out of a single solar cell.

Solar Panel Distribution. As a distributor for several major
solar panel manufacturers, we are able to offer our clients the
best possible solar panel system solution economically and
technologically. We will give you system options based on your
economical needs or technological needs for those who desire the
best most efficient "cost-is-no-option" system for your home or
business.

The solar industry has been unforgiving for many solar panel
distribution/installation businesses for the past ten years. With
constant technological advancements and a rapid price drop in the
solar panel industry, businesses have been caught between a rock,
and a hard place owning pallets of out-of-date, over priced,
solar panels.

We have found the solution to that problem by collaborating with
manufacturers that enable per-job distribution. Many of these
manufacturers have research and development laboratories capable
of producing new solar panels with higher wattage and module
efficiency every few months.

It is crucial that the best possible solar panel system be
installed in your home or business for either economic or
technological reasons. Consumers generally have two priorities
when installing a solar panel system. First, that the system be
economical and second, that the system produce as much solar
energy as possible. Some consumers have a cost-is-no-option
mentality. In that case, we integrate the best current technology
in the solar industry to install a solar panel system producing
maximum solar energy by today's standards.
