Before You Buy !
Click here
to learn ten buying tips to use when shopping for a solar system.
Solar
Home only uses solar panels that have been
manufactured with solar cells that have been
cut from solid ingots of silicon.
When
shopping for solar panels, always insist on
solar panels that use solar cells that have
been cut from a solid silicon ingot.
Many of the solar panels that are on the
market that use solar cells that are not cut
from solid silicon ingots may offer lower
efficiencies, poorer tolerances or lesser warranties.
No thin film, ribbons, bows or strings attached.
Simply Better Components
In an effort to be more competitive, many
dealers have resorted to offering thin light
duty mounting rails that require many more
roof penetrations, lower cost, lightweight inverters with high frequency transformers instead of a heavy duty 60 Hertz output transformer, solar panels with poorer per Watt PTC ratings and lesser warranties and or solar panels that use cells that are not cut from a solid ingot of silicon.
Here at Solar Home we never skimp on quality. Every system that we sell includes only the very best heavy duty components available on today's market.
And that's not just talk. In a side by side comparison we'll prove why our name brand top of the line equipment outperforms the competition hands down at a price that can't be beat.
Weight Matters
Solar Home only uses heavy duty inverters with 60 Hertz based, copper wound output transformers for high
efficiency and unbeatable durability and performance.
Copper is
expensive but its time tested performance in inverters is undeniable.
Since the year 2000 We've
owned and operated one of the largest most experienced
factory authorized inverter repair centers
in the nation and we know the value of using a
heavy duty 60 Hertz based output transformer.
Because of our in depth knowledge concerning the design,
construction and repair of inverters, we simply
will not use HF (high frequency) inverters in our
systems.
Before making a buying
decision, better ask how much
the other dealer's inverter weighs, then ask to
see the inverter's specification sheet to be
sure.
Many of our competitors use inverters with lower cost, HF (high frequency) output transformers.
Massive Mounting Rails
We pay more for the higher strength, U.S. made Unirac mounting rails that are used in our
systems, but if you compare Unirac to the
other dealers are offering you, you'll find that Unirac uses much
more aluminum.
The U shaped rail
that many other dealers offer provides a
flimsier design. To prove our point ask your
dealer to provide a sample of their U shaped
mounting rail. Lay the sample on its side and
simply stand on it.
Note what happens to this
rail. Next try the same thing with a SolarMount
rail from Unirac and you'll know right away
which design offers you more piece of mind.
Because the U shaped rail
uses far less aluminum, the result is a flimsier
design which will require many more holes
drilled into your roof to provide the rigidity
that is necessary to support the solar panels.
Drilling more holes into your roof can increase
labor costs as well as increase the risk of a leak.
Also Unirac's taller rail provides more air flow
for increased cooling. Solar electric panels
work off of light not heat. Heat is a solar
panel's worst enemy, the cooler a solar panels
is, the more power it will produce.
Always ask your dealer to show you a sample of the mounting rails the he's going to use on your roof. ******
Important: If you've been provided with a quote
with no mention of the brand or model
number of the mounting system that your dealer
is using, then the dealer is probably trying to
sell you the cheapest available racks on the
market. This is a common practice amongst less
reputable dealers. Always demand to see a
full list of material including brands and
models.

Here's A
Shopping Tip
Just
because a company makes a great TV or
other household appliance doesn't
necessarily mean that they make a great
solar panel. Some of the poorest performing
solar panels are made by some of the biggest
names in the industry.
Never
rely on a salesperson to tell you what's a
great product and what's not. We'll provide you with all of the resources that you would ever need, including specification sheets from our competitors offerings, so that you can make your own educated decision about solar panel performance and compare for yourself. After all, solar panels have the potential to last 30 years or more, so even minor differences in performance can make a big difference in the long run.
We're Here To Help
We
understand that solar energy may be new for
you and that you may have many questions
regarding your purchase, that's ok, you'll
find that our staff is not only
knowledgeable and friendly but actually
enthusiastic about helping a customer with a
new installation. All of us here at
Solar Home believes firmly in a clean
renewable " Solar Electric Future
" and anything that we can do to make
that future a reality is our mission.

The Brand New Solar Power Tax Credit Is Here !
If you've been
considering solar for your home or business,
it's now time to celebrate ! After nearly a
year of debates and nine previous attempts, On
Friday October 3rd 2008 Congress
finally approved a bill that not only
extends the Federal 30% tax credit for solar
but also removes the $2,000.00 cap that
existed on the previous residential tax
credit. That's an
incredible 30% with no cap for residential
and commercial installations !
We're so sure
that ours is the best product at the best price, that we'll beat any nationally
advertised price on our same, in stock, top of the line solar system or your

$49,765.26
(Price Before Our Discounts And State Rebate)
Edison customers, if you
haven't already submitted your application for the $2,200.00 per AC kilowatt
cash rebate then unfortunately it's too late. The $2,200.00 per AC kilowatt
Edison rebate expired on Wednesday May 27th. The Edison rebate has now been reduced
to $1,900.00 per AC kilowatt.
The good news is that your timing couldn't be better because prices are up to 50% lower than what they were a year ago and for a limited time, Solar Home will make
up the $300.00 per AC kilowatt difference that you missed out on and as a bonus
add an additional $100.00 per AC kilowatt.
This brings your total rebate to
$2,300.00 per AC kilowatt.
Take
advantage of our limited time supplemental cash rebate of
$400.00
per AC kilowatt and this will reduce the above posted sale price to:
$45,702.00
In California
the above solar power system qualifies for a
cash rebate of up to
$19,300.47**
After applying SCE's rebate,
your final system price can be as low as :*
$26,401.53
Apply the new
30% Federal tax credit with
no cap and
your final system cost can be as low as :*
$18,481.07
If this system is being used for a commercial application then you may qualify for a Federal income tax credit of up to 30% with no maximum and a 5 year depreciation schedule.
New !
Businesses may receive a 30% grant from
the U.S. Department of Treasury instead of the
30% Federal tax credit. The U.S. Treasury
Department will make payment of the grant
within 60 days of the grant application date
or the date the property is placed in service,
whichever is later.
Think you might have found a lower price
?
Better take a closer look because we can pretty much guaranty that the system you found will include cheap, non name brand
solar panels that are manufactured by a
tiny overseas company that has a good
chance of not being around in 3 or 4
years to honor their 25 year warranty.
Or even "A Series" factory defective "B" solar panels that use lower cost String
Ribbon™
technology. Or solar panels with less than 25 year warranties. Or lower efficiency Canadian UMG solar panels. Or low cost mounting racks that are made
from much thinner aluminum. Or an
inverter that uses lower cost high
frequency technology. And just wait till
you get a load of that other dealer's
shipping cost.
At Solar
Home, We Offer Only The Finest Name
Brand Equipment On The Market.
We are ardent in our belief that the more industry documented facts that we can provide you with that are free of all the sales gimmicks, half truths and confusing double talk that is beginning to become rampant in our industry, the more rewarding and enduring your investment into solar will be.

thinking about your energy budget as a whole.
You
can't make your own gasoline and you can't make your
own natural gas, but now you CAN make your
own electricity. And the best part about it is that
the fuel to make own electricity falls from the sky everyday for free.
Thousands of utility customers throughout the U.S., who were tired of the high
cost of electricity have taken advantage of the huge rebates and tax credits
which are available for the installation of solar energy systems on their homes
and businesses.
For Example the State of California is currently offering a cash rebate of up to $1,900.00 per AC kilowatt. And the Federal Government is offering a
30% tax credit
with absolutely no cap residential and commercial applications. And unlike like the old solar energy systems of yesteryear that only produced hot water, these new systems actually produce electricity ! Clean reliable electricity to run lights,
TVs, pumps, refrigerators, computers and many other appliances, all with free energy from the Sun.
Depending on the size system you choose and the number of loads you have running during the day, it is actually possible watch the power company's meter run backwards.

Solar Panel Comparison
The new laboratory test results are in and according to
the new
SB1 guidelines
compliant module list
that was posted on the California Energy Commission's
website on June 4th 2009
many solar panel models posted a reduction in their
PTC power ratings.
For instance the
Sun Powerâ
SPR205BLK-U, SPR210BLK-U, SPR220BLK-U and
SPR225BLK-U were downgraded by as much as 5.6 watts
while our
Mitsubishi PV-UD185MF5 185 Watt solar panel
was actually upgraded by 1.5 watts !
Per the new SB1
guidelines
compliant module list
our
Mitsubishi PV-UD185MF5 185 Watt solar panel
actually has
a higher
per Watt PTC rating than all of the following
solar panels:
The Sharpâ
187 through 230 Watt panels.
The
BPâ
BP3210N and BP3220N solar panels.
The
SolarWorldâ
165 and 175 solar panels.
The Solar Tech Powerâ
210 through 230 Watt panels.
The
Canadian Solarâ
P and PE series150 through 230 Watt panels.
The
Evergreenâ
Spruce Lineâ
150 through 175 Watt panels.
The
Kyoceraâ
180 through 210 Watt panels.
The
GEâ
200 watt panel.
The
REC™
ScanModule™
AB™
205 through 225 Watt panels.
The DelSolarâ
210 through 230 Watt panels.
The Ningboâ
Solar Electric Power Company 150 through 230 Watt panels.
The Ligitek Photovoltaic Companyâ
210 through 230 Watt panels.
The
Apollo Solar Energyâ
190 through 210 Watt panels.
The ET Solar Industryâ
165 through 270 Watt panels.
The
Alpsâ
ATI-1750
165 through the ATI-2000
230 Watt panels.
The
Aleo Solar AGâ
165 through 230 Watt panels.
The
Andaly Solarâ
180 through 210 Watt panels.
Which means that in
California, watt for watt you'll
get a bigger rebate with Mitsubishi than with
any of the solar panels listed above.
And according to the following
manufacturer's own specification sheets, the
Mitsubishi PV-UD185MF5 185 Watt panel
offers a better negative tolerance
rating than the Sun Powerâ
line of solar panels, the BPâ
line of solar panels and the Sharpâ
line of solar panels. A better negative tolerance
rating means that you are guaranteed in writing of getting
more of the power that you paid for.
The
Mitsubishi PV-UD185MF5
also offers a warranty that is 5 years longer than the Sanyoâ
180 through 205 watt panels 170 through 210 Watt panels.

intertie inverters available on today's market." Like a fine German crafted
sports car, the SB6000US is engineered and built in Germany, the hotbed
of the worlds finest renewable energy

German craftsmanship and reliability a step
further by adding one of the world's highest
performance solar panels
available.
When it comes to purchasing a solar system
for your home or business it is crucial that
you take a very close look at the solar
panels that the dealer is offering you.
After all, solar panels are the workhorse of any solar system. Far too many consumers simply purchase what ever it is that a dealer
happens to have available without even looking at a specification sheet. Performance that is lacking by just a few percentage points or
an inferior warranty can make all the difference in the world over the expected
life of a solar panel.
With more than ten
years of experience operating our own state of the art, in-house solar repair
center, we know what technologies perform well in the real world and what
technologies do not.
Over
the years, we've seen expensive, name
brand, solar panels fail only after a
few months worth of use. We've even seen
popular U.S. made solar panels fail soon
after the manufacturer closed its doors
leaving its customers with no warranty.
This is
why it is important that you choose a
solar panel manufacturer that is well
established in the industry and has the
financial strength to be there if the
need arises. This is exactly why we
chose Mitsubishi Electric for our
Diamond
series solar systems.
Anyone can build a
solar panel that works here on Earth, now strap that same solar panel to a
rocket that subjects it to 8 Gs of bone jarring thrust and then expose it to
high energy cosmic rays as well as temperatures that can soar as high as 300oC
and now you have engineered a solar panel.
That's exactly
the type of expertise that has been
perfected by Mitsubishi Electric
engineers that began when
they established their space satellite business more than 30 years ago.
Building
on that experience and utilizing the latest state of the art patented
process for manufacturing multi-crystalline silicon, Mitsubishi Electric
has achieved real world efficiencies, tolerance levels
and reliability that was once thought to be impossible. And unlike other manufacturers they did it without using toxic lead in their panels.
Since 1974 Mitsubishi Electric is one of the oldest and most trusted names in the industry.
Because Mitsubishi Electric
cares about the environment they use absolutely no toxic lead in the manufacture
of their solar panels. Instead they use silver electrodes which not only
protects our precious environment but also enhances efficiency which is why
Mitsubishi solar panels outperforms many of their competitors and gives you a
bigger rebate at a better price per watt. A typical conventional 3 kW solar
array uses up to 864,000 milligrams of lead. A Mitsubishi 3 kW array uses Zero lead.
Thin
might be in when it comes to
waistlines and the latest HDTV sets but
when it comes to securing the bulk of
your investment to the roof of your home
you want the strongest mounting system
made out of the thickest aircraft
grade aluminum that money can buy.
The engineers at UniRac
understand this premise and we do too so
we've added the finest mounting rack
systems available today. The UniRac SolarMount system is unsurpassed in quality
and durability, rated to withstand 120 miles per hour wind speeds, UniRac
SolarMounts are engineered to last a lifetime.
