Our prices are higher than some and lower than others. However, what we do best is our hands-on approach to each and every aspect to each and every install. Even before a job is started, we bring to all potential projects personal and courteous customer service. This is something we provide all along. If we are going to be late or if there is some deviation from expectations, we are on the phone discussing it. We also like to think of our installations as pieces of art, masterfully installed. We care about the quality of the components used and the eye for detail installations should have. And… We pick up our phones.

The most popular Solar Energy Solution right now is solar electric installations. Solar Solutions will help tailor a solar electric system to match your specific and unique needs. We base this on three very important factors: 1) How much roof space you have 2) What percentage of your current electric consumption you wish to replace with solar energy 3) And last but not least… your pocket book.

The second most popular Solar Energy Solution is for heating your swimming pool. These systems will heat your pool for free and to temperature you never dreamed of attaining or wanting to pay to attain!

Finally, the most historically ubiquitous Solar Energy Solution is for heating hot water. These systems will replace 60% of the energy you use to heat hot water on a yearly basis.
