If you have been waiting for a new rebate program to invest in solar, your time has come. Florida Power and Light, our state’s largest utility has just announced a NEW and Improved solar rebate program!

Beginning June 21, Florida Power & Light (FPL) will begin offering a rebate for solar electric (photovoltaic) and solar domestic hot water systems.

The rebates will require an application and pre-approval, and are available on a first come-first served basis.

Your early planning is critical because rebate funding is limited. Contact us, and we’ll help you through the application process to give you the best chance of qualifying for this exciting solar incentive.

The FPL photovoltaic rebate is $2 per installed watt of solar power with a limit of $20,000 for residences and $50,000 for businesses.

A typical 5 kilowatt residential grid-tied solar electric (photovoltaic) system would qualify for a $10,000 rebate, drastically increasing your return on investment!

Solar water heating systems qualify for a $1,000 rebate!

Coupled with a currently available 30% Federal Tax Credit and the lowest prices ever for solar energy systems, there has never been a better time to GO SOLAR!

If you have any questions about the FPL Solar Rebate, or would like to learn more about how we can help you – please contact us, or give us a call at (239) 574-1500.

Thank you,

That’s how much my Florida Power & Light (FPL) electrical bill was in March of this year…

The amazing thing?

Quite a while ago, I set a goal to save 10% per year on my electrical bill — working my way toward personal energy independence over 10 years (with today’s technology advancements, I really believe it’s possible!)

Comparing this March (2011) with last March (2010) – I saved over 70%!.

In March 2010 I paid $67.98.

You might ask what I’ve done exactly, and that’s a great question.

As you probably know, I’m really passionate about using solar & renewable energy to create personal energy independence.

Over the last few years, I’ve made some pretty substantial changes, one was adding a Solar Electric Photovoltaic (PV) System to my house.  I’ve also added a Solar Water Heater, which uses the sun’s power to keep my water hot (I have an electric water heater as a backup!) along with a Solar Pool Pump.  Finally, I installed Solar Air Conditioning which is making a huge difference as well!

Notice a theme?

It’s all about harnessing the power of the sun, and today, it’s very efficient and cost-effective.

I’d love to hear it!

Thank you, and here’s to personal energy independence in the next few years.

It was good for heating water or making electricity, but not for transportation.

But with this…

… and checking out www.calcars.org to learn about electric vehicles (EVs), I’ve done a complete 180!

Who Killed the Electric Car?

After 30 years of being in the solar industry, I was so wrong about what I thought solar energy could do.

Kinda humbling.

So, if I could have a wrong perception about solar energy after 30 years, I guess I could understand that YOU too could have a misconception about solar energy.

I think there’s a lot of people that don’t fully understand solar energy:

• How it works…
• What it can, and can’t do…
• When it could be applicable…
• Affordable… and
• A host of other questions.

But there’s a huge belief that solar energy is a good thing… a VERY good thing, in fact.
