GUIDES Solar Slate 2023 editions |
Days are getting longer! Can you feel it? Probably not at this moment, but hey, got to stay positive while in the grips of a polar vortex.
2023 is going to be a big year for solar demand, so get in touch with us early to plan your project. Lots of exciting new equipment being released this spring, including a new hybrid inverter line from SMA, a wide range of new battery options, and always a constant progression of solar modules.
We’re running hard to keep-up with demand for grid-tied systems to reduce folks’ energy bills and reliance on their utility. You can lock-in your electricity costs by investing in solar. As utility rates rise, every kWh you generate becomes more valuable. It’s an inflation-beater!
Looking for Back-Up Power Options?
It’s time to get your back-up system ready for crazy weather and power outages. Just a little energy independence goes a long way.
