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, 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. The new Federal tax credit offers an incredible 30% with no cap for residential and commercial installations !
You've got to hurry though, rebates all over The U.S. Are dropping fast.
Now that the Federal Tax Credit has been extended and increased, the number of applications that are being submitted to the utilities in an attempt to beat the clock before the current rebates expire has reached record levels.
Don't make the same mistake that so many others have made. The Federal tax credit will be here for the next eight years and as long as you bring your system into service after January 1st 2009 then you'll qualify for the tax credit. Rebates however are limited and are based a first come first served basis so it is imperative that you submit your rebate application as soon as possible. Waiting even a single day to submit your rebate application can result in a reduced rebate or even the entire loss of your state's current rebate.
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.

"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." Click Here to learn more about warranties Only The Finest Available Products Ask any alternative energy engineer, installer or dealer and they'll all tell you the same thing. With more than three gigawatts (3 billion watts) worth of Sunny Boy inverters sold and operating worldwide "The Sunny Boy SB6000US' proven technology makes this unit one of the best grid intertie inverters available on today's market." Like a fine German crafted sports car, the SB6000US is engineered in Germany and built in the U.S.A., the hotbed of the worlds finest renewable energy technology. We've taken SB6000US' unbeatable 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 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 highest quality aircraft grade aluminum that money can buy. The engineers at HatiCon understand this premise and we do too so we've added the finest mounting rack systems available today. HatiCon Solar Mounting Systems are unsurpassed in quality and durability, rated to withstand 120 miles per hour wind speeds, HatiCon Solar Mounting Systems are engineered to last a lifetime.

California and other states have adopted a much more stringent system to rate real world performance of solar panels. This rating system assigns what is known as a PTC (PVUSA Test Conditions) rating to each solar panel that is approved for use in their rebate programs. The Sharpâ ND And NU Series 187 through 235 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 Evergreenâ Spruce Lineâ 150 through 175 Watt panels. The Kyoceraâ 180 Through 210 Watt Solar Panels. The Advanced Renewable Energyâ 210 through 230 Watt panels. The ASUN Energyâ 190 through 210 Watt panels. The CA Solarâ 155 through 180 Watt panels. The Ecosolargyâ 165 through 185 Watt panels. The Green Powerâ 165 through 260 Watt panels. 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 280 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 LP Series 180 Through 210 Watt Solar Panels. Which means that in California, watt for watt you'll get a bigger rebate with This Suntech Solar Panel than with any of the solar panels listed above. And according to the following manufacturer's own specification sheets, the Suntech STP260-24/Vb-1 260 Watt panel offers a better negative tolerance rating than the Sun Powerâ 200 through 230 Watt solar panel and the Sharpâ 187 through 240 Watt solar panels. A better negative tolerance rating means that you are guaranteed in writing of getting more of the power that you paid for.

This System 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 silicon that is not cut
from solid silicon ingots may offer lower
efficiencies, poorer tolerances or lesser
warranties.

1. Price. Compare our high performance Suntech systems to a Sunpowerâ system and you'll find that our systems are priced up to thousands of dollars less than the same sized Sunpowerâ system.
2.
Efficiency. Yes it is true that Sunpower
offers an efficiency rating that's a few
percentage points higher but is that worth the
higher price ? What does higher efficiency
really mean to you as a consumer ? Well not much
unless you have limited roof space.
Some consumers are under the mistaken notion
that somehow a higher efficiency panel offers
more power than a lower efficiency panel. The
bottom line is that a 230 watt solar panel from
one manufacturer puts out the same 230 watts as
a panel from any other manufacturer. To use an
old saying "watts is watts" in other words a
pound of lead weighs the same as a pound of
steel, the only difference is the area that the
material takes up. So if you have sufficient
roof space, why pay a much higher price for your
solar system.
3. Negative Tolerance. Sunpowerâ offers a considerably poorer negative tolerance rating than Suntech. (negative 5% for Sunpower and a much better negative 3% for Suntech) In other words when you buy a Sunpowerâ 230 watt solar panel, their specification sheet guarantees that their solar panel's power rating will not fall below 218.5 watts right out of the box, even though you paid for 230 watts. That's like paying for a dozen eggs and only being guaranteed of getting 11.4 eggs in the carton. You have to ask yourself what good is a few percentage points of higher efficiency if you might lose 5% of your power right out of the box ? With Suntech's negative 3% tolerance rating you're guaranteed of getting more of the power that you paid for.
4. Company Size. Suntech recently achieved the incredible milestone of 1.2 Gigawatt of solar cell and module production. That's over a billion watts ! Not even Sharpâ, First Solarâ or Q Cellsâ has reached this level of production. And Sunpowerâ....not even close. Suntech has the size and financial muscle to be there decades from now should warranty services are ever needed.
Weight Matters
We 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 our founder has 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.
Compare the Sunny Boy SB5000US inverter that we offer with the Fronius® IG 5100 that the other dealers offer:

can we say, If you want a lower wattage, lower

to give you a smaller per PTC watt rebate then
those other dealers have exactly what your looking
for.
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.

Low Cost, Light Weight C Shaped Rails Without A Factory Warranty Are Not Permitted In Any Of Our Systems.
The C shaped rail that many other dealers offer provides a flimsier design and don't even come with a factory warranty. To prove our point ask your dealer to provide a sample of their C 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 box beam rail from HatiCon and you'll know right away which design offers you more piece of mind.
Because many C shaped rails use 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 HatiCon's tall 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 we can almost guaranty that the dealer is probably trying to sell you one of the many low cost, thin aluminum racks that are available 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 and ALWAYS ask for a copy of the mounting system's factory warranty.

Here's Why This Solar
System Blows The Competition's Solar System Out Of The Water.
1. Suntech Solar is now the largest solar manufacturer in the world with over 1.2 Gigawatt of production. (That over 1,200 megawatts !) Suntech solar panels are currently being used in over 300,000 rooftop installations.
1. Suntech Solar panels are known the world over for their superior quality and performance and have one of the best per Watt PTC ratings for any mono or poly solar panel on the US market.
2. You'll get a bigger per Watt rebate in many states when comparing the Suntech Solar panels used in this system to many other solar panel in it's class on the market.
3. Suntech Solar Panels use solar cells that are cut from a solid ingot of silicon which provide higher efficiency. Many of our competitors use less expensive, lower efficiency thin film solar panels or solar panels with cells that are not cut from a solid ingot of silicon.
4. If your dealer is trying to convince you to buy thin film solar panels and he's trying to convince you that his panels offer high efficiency, keep this mind; Given the current state of the technology, using the word thin film and the words high efficiency in the same sentence is an oxymoron or a contradiction of terms.. Silicon based thin film products are among the lowest efficiency products on the market when compared to mono-crystalline or even poly-crystalline solar panels.
5. The top of the line Sunny Boy inverters that are used in these system are engineered and manufactured in Germany.
5. The top of the line PV Powered inverters that are used in these system are engineered and manufactured in the U.S.A.
6. Both The top of the line Sunny Boy inverters and the top of the line PV Powered inverters used in these systems incorporate a heavy duty, 60 hz based, copper wound output transformer. Many of the inverters offered by the other dealers are manufactured in third world countries and use lower cost high frequency transformers.
7. The mounting racks that are included in these systems are heavier duty U.S. made Unirac SolarMount mounting racks, not the lower cost, lighter duty mounting racks that require more holes to be drilled in your roof that are offered by many of our competitors.
