Upgrading all or part of your home to solar power, or choosing a solar-augmented power profile can save you thousands and provide an alternate power source “off the grid”. Making the move to solar power means making a contribution to a greener way of life for your family and our family now and into the future.
Solar energy can be harnessed to heat your water, heat your home, provide electricity, and more. Once installed, it is a totally clean energy source with no carbon footprint. We believe all homes can benefit from solar energy at one level or another.
However, the design and installation and setup of solar panels on your house is a potentially deadly danger. Solar power involves more than enough electrical current to kill a well-meaning ‘do it yourselfer’ or an inexperienced contractor. Solar panels must be selected and installed to match your actual needs, as part of a comprehensive plan for reducing your energy costs.
That means unless you’re an expert you probably shouldn’t try to do it yourself,
and you definitely don’t want to have an amateur do it “on the cheap”.
Liguori Construction is the official installation partner for Solar Direct, the leading source for solar panels and solar power equipment. We’re Solar Direct’s approved installation contractor for this region, for the same reasons as we’re the remodeler of choice in the area – we know what we’re doing, we install their equipment correctly the first time, and we get their systems functioning faster and with no problems. Liguori Construction chose to be affiliated with Solar Direct because they offer higher quality solar panels and related equipment.
Solar power makes good sense on many different levels, but there’s also many different levels of solar power to choose from. It is critical for you to choose the correct type and amount of solar power coverage for your actual needs. More is not always better!
Here’s why:
There are several different types of government rebates, tax credits and incentives. Some of the incentives will make more financial sense than others in your situation. More importantly, homes that use a large amount of electrical power are often subject to a sliding rate scale depending on power usage. If your power use is above a certain threshold, you may be forced to pay a much higher price per unit of energy. It’s like a “gas guzzler” tax for houses! Even a small, partial solar system (that only augments your existing grid power) might bring your home down below the high-rate penalty, so your electric power is billed at the lower rate.
Liguori Construction knows how to determine the best size of a solar system for your home. We balance the cost, power output, rebates and incentives, and your local power company’s rate profiles. Only then can we recommend the best overall solar system for each home. When that determination is made, we install the appropriate Solar Direct components to create an ideal system that meets your needs. |
