We're One Of The Oldest Most Trusted Companies In The Solar Electric Industry

Solarhome.com was founded by Electronic Parts On Sale, one of the oldest, most trusted names in the solar industry. Take a look at our history and you'll find that we've been selling top of the line solar products directly to the public far longer than Home Depot^®, BP Solar^®, Sunpower^® and GE Solar^®. In fact when it comes to experience, we've been in the solar electric business longer than 98% of the solar companies in business today.

Why Do We Post Our System Prices While Our Competitors Simply Refuse To ?

Click here to learn how to avoid the typical tactics that are used by sales people to convince you to buy their overpriced solar systems.

The Longest Warranty In The Industry

The solar panels that are used in these Solar Home systems come with a 25 year factory warranty. The inverters come with a 10 year factory warranty. The longest warranties in the industry !

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.

Strong I Beam Mounting Rails

I beams have a long proven history in the construction industry. The I beam's efficient load bearing design lends itself perfectly for securing your investment into solar onto your roof's surface.

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 ClickSys I beam rail from Unirac and you'll know right away which design offers you more piece of mind.

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 among 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.

Here's A Shopping Tip

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.

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 !

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 system is free.

With the cost of natural gas and electricity going through the roof, it is now time to start 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.

Since 1997 the staff here at Solar Home has developed an unmatched level of expertise in the design and implementation of systems that qualify for many State rebate programs. We offer free assistance in the design of your system, we can help you in locating a qualified, experienced contractor in your area and can even assist you with the submission of your rebate application to your State.

"The single most important criteria when choosing a solar panel is not price nor is it performance. It's the financial strength of the manufacturer behind the solar panel's warranty."

Thousands of U.S. consumers will make the same mistake this Summer that so many have made in the past of trying to save a few dollars by buying non name brand solar panels from small financially unsound manufacturers that probably won't be around in 3 or 4 years. When their solar panels fail due to poor workmanship and or materials, the only thing that these consumers will be left with is a bunch of glass and aluminum on their roofs that they will have to pay to have removed.

Only The Finest Available Products

When it comes to high efficiency and field proven U.S. made reliability nothing tops the performance of a PV Powered inverter. In 2004 PV Powered Inc. of Bend, Oregon shook the industry's foundation by announcing the world's first CEC rated 96% efficient grid intertie inverter and if that wasn't enough soon after announcing this incredible accomplishment, they absolutely floored the competition with the industry's first 10 year standard warranty. Needless to say this literally forced inverter manufacturers around the world back to the drawing board.

Since that time PV Powered has lead the way with a record of reliability that very few inverter manufacturers have come close to touching. PV Powered's rock solid design makes their inverters almost bullet proof which is why PV Powered inverters are one of the most widely used products in the country. We've taken the U.S. born and bred performance and reliability of the PVP4800's 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 nine 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 in the event that a warranty claim arises. This is exactly why we chose Suntech for our Platinum series solar systems.

Suntech knows how important quality is to its customers and has implemented a tiered, multi-step approach to quality control that follows the production of its solar products from inception to completion. At Suntech every quality control officer is given ownership of individual production processes to ensure responsible management. Standard Operating Procedures are strictly adhered to and a key focus of each supervisor.

At each level of quality control there is a redundant series of inspections by multiple qualified QC professionals ensuring that each product meets their stringent, internal expectations of quality.

When it comes to performance, reliability, quality and value, absolutely no other brand tops Suntech.

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.

Finally we top off our systems with the best price that you'll find anywhere. In fact, we're so sure that ours is the best deal available, that we'll beat any nationally advertised price on our same, in stock, top of the line systems or your system is free.

Unlike other dealers that will sell you a barebones system, our premium quality kits include everything you see listed above.
