How Solar Works
The solar project makes going solar incredibly simple by following three natural steps: Sign Up, Design, and Install. The process begins with customers signing up for a free consultation or solar home evaluation, which is followed by a detailed design phase that takes into account each property’s unique needs. Finally, the installation phase brings the project to life as expert technicians transform rooftops and open spaces into energy generating sites. The overall approach is clear and easy to understand—no fuss, just efficient energy solutions that almost seem too simple, yet are backed by sophisticated technology and industry experience.
Financing and Incentives
Financing a solar solution is made straightforward with several attractive options. A low interest solar loan is available that allows for instant savings on electricity bills from day one. Once the system is paid off, free energy is enjoyed throughout the system’s lifespan, with several term options offered to suit different financial needs. Alternatively, purchasing the system up front provides free energy production for the lifetime of the system and offers the highest financial return on investment. Additionally, current tax credits can reduce the payback period to under 10 years, ensuring immediate savings that continue to benefit every customer over nearly 30 years of nearly eliminated electricity bills… an inviting prospect for any homeowner or business.
Innovation in Battery Storage
Battery storage plays a key role in maximizing savings and ensuring continuous power, especially during outages. Customers enjoy peace of mind with backup power provided during unexpected events. Battery storage not only enhances the overall savings on solar energy but also makes it easier to take advantage of available tax credits. Offered battery solutions include state-of-the-art technology such as the Tesla Powerwall3 and the Enphase IQ, both designed to integrate seamlessly with solar systems to deliver efficient and reliable energy. This combination of innovative solar panels and modern battery storage is engineered to provide enduring comfort and energy autonomy… a true leap forward in sustainable residential and commercial energy management.
Impact on the Solar Industry
The project has significantly changed the local energy landscape in Tucson, demonstrating that renewable energy solutions are more than just a trend—they are a long-term commitment to sustainability. This transformation is not only witnessed through the impressive solar installations but also in the ongoing support for sustainability practices in the region. It has successfully paved the way for future developments in renewable energy and is steadily growing the customer base while upholding strong values of community and transparency. There is a clear focus on ensuring that all installations are done with precision and care so that every customer experiences the true benefits of transitioning to solar energy.
