National Green Power Helps Businesses Install Commercial Solar Systems
by Windwärts Energie GmbH Article by Toan Dinh Commercial solar systems are, increasingly, a necessity. As more and more people around the world become conscious of the grave dangers posed to our global ecosystem by the widespread use of oil, gas, and coal, it behooves entrepreneurs to do everything in their power to ensure that their businesses are part of the solution, rather than the problem. National Green Power, an online retailer of solar cells for use in commercial solar systems, can help ensure that your company evolves with the times. Obviously, every effort to generate solar power begins with quality photovoltaic cells, and National Green Power sells a wide variety, to suit every need. The company carries panels from makers such as REC, Kyocera, Sun, Evergreen, and Sanyo. They will even consult with commercial solar system buyers on package rates for major projects. In addition to photovoltaic panels, the company sells solar hot-water anti-freeze systems, which contribute to the overall success of a commercial solar system installation by helping shave precious kilowatt hours [not to mention electric bill dollars] of your business’ monthly total. These solar hot-water systems are capable of replacing traditional gas or electric hot water heaters. Another important thing for any successful commercial solar system installation project to address is heating and cooling. If your business is located in a place with a highly variable climate, you know firsthand how much energy merely maintaining a comfortable temperature inside your properties can be. National Green Power sells what they refer to as the Power-Save Solar Attic Fan, a solar-powered fan that cools a building by using solar power to draw hot air out of attic spaces. An extremely thorough commercial solar system installation might even take advantage of National Green Power’s range of ICF [Insulated Concrete Form] building blocks, which greatly increase the ability of a structure to insulate itself from outside temperature fluctuations. Since these blocks are structural materials, they are probably only suitable for commercial solar system installation projects on buildings that have not yet been constructed. It would be difficult to use them to retrofit an existing building. Another major advantage to performing a commercial solar system installation on your business is that, in many cases, it is possible to reap rewards for doing so, in the form of tax incentives. These incentives can derive either from the federal government, or from the government of your home state. Often, they offset a significant amount of the cost of a commercial solar system. The remainder of the cost is, naturally, recouped over years of lower energy bills. Commercial solar system installations cost money, but sunshine is free. National Green Power is a nationwide provider of photovoltaic cells, hot-water anti-freeze hot water systems, Power-Save Solar Attic Fans, and other supplies for commercial solar system installations.

Sullivan Solar Power Announces its Position as Top Southern California Solar Developer
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2012 Sullivan Solar Power, the leading residential developer of solar power systems in the nations solar capitol, San Diego, has been ranked as the number one SunPower dealer in the region. According to public records furnished by the California Solar Initiative (CSI), Sullivan has developed 44 percent more residential solar power systems than their nearest competitor. SunPower, headquartered in California, is a global leader in the solar industry with the worlds most efficient silicon solar cells. In 1954, the United States invented solar power. In the year 2000, SunPower perfected it, said Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power, We are proud to be part of this heritage in moving our nation toward a sustainable future. According to CSI data, SunPower is the leading panel manufacturer for residential projects in California, trumping imported cheaper Chinese solar modules. Despite the lower commodity costs of Chinese panels, SunPower reigns supreme in California due to an aggressive new leasing program. The program offers California homeowners solar at a cost that is up to 40 percent less than their electric utility bills. With SunPower financing, people can go solar for less than what they are paying now, they can use American products, and help the environment, says Sullivan, Once again, American ingenuity trumps cheap imported goods. Solar technology has been a bright spot in an otherwise economy. Last year alone, the solar industry grew by 69 percent, making it the fastest growing industry in the United States. SunPower employs more American workers than any other solar manufacturer in the world and a key part of Sullivan Solar Powers business model is supporting the local and national economy. As SunPowers top residential installer, we look forward to helping this region declare energy independence from imported foreign fossil fuels and supporting domestically developed and manufactured technology, said Sullivan.
