U.S. Sunlight Corp Solar Attic Fans With the Solar Controller are the First Solar Attic Fans to Receive a HERS Rating (Home Energy Rating System)

by admin in Solar Power

Incline Village, Nevada (PRWEB) January 31, 2012 HERS indexes, known as the Home Energy Rating System, is the new meter for gauging a homes energy efficiency. Solar Attic Fans from U.S. Sunlight Corp have been declared as one of the top 10 energy efficient home improvements. Home Energy Rating System HERS indexes have been developed to effectively compare the energy efficiency of different homes. A certified RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network) auditor is able to quantify a homes energy efficiency on pre-existing homes or on pre-construction plans of a new home. As a guide: a HERS index of 0 is a carbon neutral home, a HERS index of 85 is an Energy Star rated home, a HERS index of 100 is a standard new home and a HERS index of 130 is the average pre-existing home. The Department of Energy incorporates the value of HERS indexes as a factor to apply federal tax credits as well as a guide for their Building America program. Additionally, many homeowners are looking to energy efficient home improvements as a method to go green and lower their carbon footprint or to simply save money on energy costs. As a reward, homeowners who choose to purchase an energy efficient home or make energy efficient home improvements can potentially qualify for an Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM). In order for a homeowner to qualify for an Energy Efficient Mortgage, the home must be audited by a certified RESNET rater. The Solar Attic Fan from U.S. Sunlight Corp. is the first solar powered attic fan to receive a HERS index rating. By installing the Solar Attic Fan, a homes HERS index can improve by up to 4 points, frequently equivalent to a 4% reduction in the homes energy consumption. In comparison to many of the top HERS index reducing products, the U.S. Sunlight Solar Attic Fan is one of the top 10 energy efficient products for the price. For more information on the Solar Controller, Solar Attic Fans and HERS index ratings, visit U.S. Sunlight Corp at the International Builders Show in Orlando, Florida February 8-11 at Booth #W370. Robert Buckley, President of US Sunlight Corp We are excited about the approval of our solar attic fans and Solar Controller to the HERS index as developed by RESNET. With the HERS index, builders and homeowners are able to make an educated decision to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Additionally, the Solar Attic Fan qualifies for a 30% federal tax credit making it a cost effective green solution for all new construction and remodeling projects. Best Sustainable Product The editors at BUILDERnews, a 15 year old publication, declared the Solar Attic Fan and Solar Controller the Best Sustainable Products of 2011. Best of Show With over 100,000 products in the 2011 National Hardware Show, our Solar Attic Fan and Solar Controller caught the attention of retailers, media, and trade professionals, and won the Best of Show awards.

by admin in Solar Power

Scotts Valley, CA (PRWEB) December 13, 2011 Session Solar, a leading wholesale distributor of solar photovoltaic (PV) products, is pleased to announce its recent partnership with Boots on the Roof, a training facility for the renewable energy industry located in Fremont, CA. Under this new partnership, Session Solar has donated the technologically advanced CreoTecc solar mounting system which will be used in their commercial solar PV training and construction MegaLab. CreoTecc is made in the USA by Session Solar http://www.sessionsolar.com. Session Solar will also work directly with Boots on the Roof to develop hands-on training and demonstrate how CreoTecc can significantly accelerate installation time while ensuring greater ease, flexibility and a lower installed cost. CreoTecc solar mounting systems feature an insertion rail design, which eliminates the need for clamps and reduces installation time by up to 30%.

Session Solar has brought the advanced mounting system to the United States for American solar installers to benefit from these savings. Were delighted to have CreoTecc in our new Commercial Construction Lab. CreoTecc is a very innovative solar racking system, where standard solar panels just drop in to the frame with no tools needed. We want to give our students an opportunity to build with CreoTecc, so they can experience for themselves how fast this system is. Wed like to thank our friends at Session Solar for their support in adding CreoTecc to our Labs, said Chuck Rames, Program Director, Renewable Energy Division of Boots on the Roof. By learning to install CreoTecc mounting systems, Boots on the Roof students will gain a competitive edge in the market place and be able to offer their clients greater savings, less roof penetrations, and gap-free module spacing for superior aesthetics.

At Session Solar we are always looking for ways to help installers compete, says CreoTecc Product Manager Rodger Petherbridge. With our CreoTecc clampless mounting system, installers can offer proven, high quality systems that reduce the time it takes to design and complete the installation.
