matt001-small Happy Holidays! Maryland Solar Hot Water News

Matt Bartlett here. I just wanted to send this quick holiday message to all of our clients, blog readers, and anyone with an interest in solar hot water.

First, I want to send a big thank you to everyone who decided to install a solar water heater this year.  It’s people like you who are stepping up and making real, positive change to the way you and your family consumes fossil fuel. Even if you chose to use one of our competitors for your installation, we are glad you made the switch to solar powered water heating! Collectively you all are making an impact, and saving a ton of money too!

 Happy Holidays! Maryland Solar Hot Water NewsFor those of you who are passionate about solar energy and keep tabs on the local solar market, you will be happy to know solar hot water heaters are more popular than ever. We have had a terrific year installing countless solar water heaters across the entire state and have already booked numerous installations for next year. Solar water heating is definitely the most popular, most affordable way to go solar.

As 2009 comes to a close we see 2010 being a spectacular year for solar power and more specifically solar hot water. The solar tax incentives available for solar hot water systems will continue to reduce your installation costs by 50-70% and as energy prices rise, the value of  your solar water heating system goes up. Not a bad deal, huh?

The latest solar hot water technology is outstanding! We receive calls and e-mails every day from people who are totally taken back by the incredible savings they are achieving with their new solar hot water systems. In some cases people are saving 30% on their utility bills.

Many of our clients go so far as to disconnect their backup energy source and see how long they can go using no gas or electric backup energy. As it stands now, the record is 14 days on 100% solar energy! Does anyone out there want to challenge this?

In addition, we have a very exciting opportunity for people all around the country who are considering entering into the solar hot water business. If you are thinking about starting a solar hot water business, you absolutely do not want to miss this. Stay tuned as the details will be revealed shortly.

Thanks again and have an energy efficient holiday season!

3 Solar Estimate Red Flags- How To Spot Them

October 23rd, 2009

maryland_solar_estimateHere are 3 solar estimate red flags you need to know about if you are considering a Maryland solar installation.

1. Poor Specifications.

You should know what you are buying, right? I can’t tell you how many times people considering solar in Maryland hand me a solar installation estimate that lacks the necessary specifications and details. These people have no idea what they are actually buying! How many solar panels will be installed? What size tank comes with your new solar water heater? The point is…know what you are buying.

2. Failure To Include Required Solar Installation Permits.

Inexperienced solar installers forget or are not familiar with the required solar installation permits. Shady solar installers will intentionally leave out permits to reduce costs. This will cause a major problem for you (read this post on solar building permits).

3. Inflated Tax Incentive Expectations.

Maryland solar tax incentives are terrific, but don’t let a slick solar salesperson exaggerate the reality. Click here for Maryland solar tax incentive information.
