Adair Solar

We’re all for staying cozy and warm in winter and staying cool as a cucumber during the sizzling summer months here in the Valley of the Sun. But we’re also big fans of saving money and creating value in a multitude of ways for the home owners we work with. When Adair Solar Company in Mesa installs solar panels in Phoenix and the surrounding areas, we like to know that you’ll be getting more out of it than just the initial savings you got on the installation.

And that’s exactly what you will get. First, you get the Arizona solar tax credits and solar tax rebates that you qualify for. Then, you will of course, enjoy the savings on energy and utilities costs over the course of the life of your solar water heaters in Phoenix and the rooftop solar panels that power them on houses all through the valley metro area.

But there’s more to it than that–the other financial plus that isn’t discussed very often is the value that rooftop solar panels bring to your home. In addition, solar water heaters will also increase the value of your home–and that’s not just true for homes here in Arizona–it’s true for any home, anywhere in the United States.

So when you pay little to nothing for the solar installation, save thousands of dollars on energy costs over the years, AND simultaneously increase the value of your home, why not take the plunge? Would you say no to anything that made a promise it could do that for you? Probably not.

So give Adair Solar Company in Mesa a call today so we can explain all the added value rooftop solar panels can bring to your home and your family.

Sunshine in a tin? Yes please!

We blogged a while back about Campbell’s Soup going solar, but we have an update for you from the writers at New Energy World Network!

“The Campbell Soup Company has entered into power purchase and land lease agreements with American Capital Energy (ACE) for the construction of a 2.3MW photovoltaic (PV) plant to be located on 14 acres at its facility in Sacramento, California.”

We love this news! That’s a whole lotta solar power. So what makes you any different than Campbell’s Soup? Well, for one, you’re probably not a multi-hundreds-of-millions-aire. BUT, solar panels in Phoenix are a great fit for homeowners, not just insanely wealthy corporations who are thankfully choosing to do the right thing.

In a time when Occupy Wallstreet has become more than some fly-by-night sit-in, it’s important for us to see the good use of solar energy in Phoenix and beyond. We have to say, 2.3 megawatts is nothing to sneeze at! If we could get that much installed in one day here in Phoenix, thousands upon thousands of families would have free or nearly-free energy.

And that’s exactly why we offer the best solar tax credits for Arizona. We also offer solar rebates and all kinds of other incentives that make a solar panel installation in Phoenix so affordable. On top of how cheap your solar panels and solar water heater in Phoenix will be, you’ll get money-saving benefits on energy costs that you just won’t believe.

The sun is rising over the mountains in more way the one!

Usually, when most of us think of the (literal) hot spots for solar energy production, we tend to think of desert landscapes, large expanses of desolate, hot, and unused real estate that can be made super useful with solar farms, solar arrays, and rooftop solar installations for residents.

Well, new findings tell us that it’s not the sizzle, it’s the steak. That is to say, where there’s sun, there may not always be incredible heat (like here in Arizona). BUT, where there’s sun, there is usually a great chance that the harnessable energy is massive. And that takes us to the top of the world… literally! New studies show us that the Himalayas and the Andes are prime locations for solar installations.

A recent study confirms some absolutely astonishing figures. According to Dawn.com, “Just four per cent of the area with the highest potential in the Himalayas, or around 120,000 square kilometres, could power the entirety of China, based on 2007 electricity consumption data, (…)”

Though the idea grand, the trend sounds familiar. A small area concentrated with high volume, high capacity solar panels will create enough energy to power areas more than ten or even one hundred times its size when done correctly, and when utilizing the right kind of sun in the right kind of landscape. And, that landscape isn’t always desert. So, today’s lesson, in part, at least is that solar energy really is for all of us, not just for people dwelling in deserts and hot places where only cacti grow.

But the point is not lost on us here at Adair Solar Power Company in Mesa. We know that the Valley of the Sun is dying for more rooftop solar panels in Phoenix and just waiting for homeowners like you to see some real truth in the conversation about energy taking place in our country right now.

Bottom line: Solar power isn’t for extreme climates, it’s for everyone, everywhere. Become part of the solar community. Get your Phoenix solar water heater now, and get all kinds of deals on rooftop solar panels, radiant barrier insulation, and more. Save your money, save your planet. Call (480) 827-1162

With all the doom and gloom in the news world surrounding solar energy and the industry’s Solyndra upset, we thought it was high time we brought you some good news that’s a little on the light side. So, we’re excited to bring you this story!

KLCC Public Radio of Eugene, Oregon announced today that a home town winery will be installing more than 4,000 solar panels–THE largest solar array on winery landscape in Oregon history. The winery, called Northwest Winery, will house the solar panels on the land it holds in the King Estate of Oregon. This solar system will be nearly a 1,000 kilowatt system–one of the largest solar farms in the entire state, not just the largest for some special interest or project. Not too shabby, King Estate!

According to KLCC, “The full setup will eliminate more than 38 million pounds of carbon dioxide over the next 25 years. Project manager Derek Crop says the construction crew was enthusiastic.” The article also notes that the whole project is on track to reach completion before the end of October.

Now THAT is something to toast over Cheers to King Estate Winery!

Solar is BETTER than fine and dandy

Solyndra this, Solyndra that. Some news sources are going to get as much out of this story as they can in terms of negative spin on the solar industry. On the other hand, unearthing what they can–negative or not–is also bringing to light (pardon the pun) the true grit, resilience, growth, and strength of the solar industry. According to a recent article from CNN.com,

“Despite the Solyndra collapse that has tarnished solar energy, the industry has grown into “a major economic force” with a job base that expanded 6.8% the past year, nearly 10 times faster than the overall economy, industry representatives said Tuesday.

The solar business is now a $6 billion industry, up 300% from 2006, said officials with the Solar Foundation, a nonprofit affiliated with solar energy industry.

With 100,237 jobs as of August, solar employers expect their workforce to grow 24% next year, according to the foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census 2011, completed in partnership with BW Research Partnership’s Green LMI Consulting division and Cornell University.”

As someone great once said, we’re all entitled to our own opinions, but not to our own facts. Facts are the bedrock of truth, and the truth here is that the solar industry isn’t just doing fine, it’s doing better in a down economy than most other industries. And the fact is, more Americans than ever have faith in solar energy, and the solar service providers in Phoenix and beyond than they ever have before.

Why? Well, the answers are beyond multitudinous, but the key factor–as with almost anything in American life–is saving money. As for the rest of the world, some homes equipped with rooftop solar panels are generated so much energy that they not only save money, they also have a surplus which can be sent back to the grid. This makes it possible to power neighboring homes and sometimes commercial spaces for far cheaper than (what we’ll call) traditional methods.

Solar energy IS a good fit for your home, for any home. A solar water heater in Phoenix with rooftop solar panels saves residents hundreds if not thousands of dollars a year when utilized properly. And, if your home is fitted with radiant barrier insulation and your a/c unit has been properly maintained, look out!

And if you’re worried about the cost of installing a solar system on your home in Phoenix, let us tell you now that the cost can be next to nothing with the use of solar tax credits and solar rebates in Phoenix.

Just taking a look at today’s news sources lets us know without a shadow of a doubt that solar energy and solar installations across the United States continue to be the trend, and indeed, on the rise. Have a look at some headlines from today’s most popular news sources:

New Solar Panel Plant will Hire 355

Solar Panel Prices Plunge

New Solar Panel Farm to be Built in Oahu

New Solar Firms Expanding

Old School gets New Solar Panels

Records for Solar Financing this Financial Quarter

Much like Sophia Loren said that nothing makes a woman more beautiful than her believing she is, nothing has made the solar energy industry more powerful than its leaders faith in what it can–and has done. Just like the cradle-to-cradle resources solar energy use supports, the solar movement is actually recharging itself.

Take a look at those headlines. Solar energy is creating jobs, lowering the cost of living, growing like a weed, and has garnered enough support from government on all levels to continue to grow. The rest is up to us as consumers. If we don’t buy into the changing ways in which energy can be delivered to us, if we do not begin to see the value in shifting from the status quo, if we don’t begin buying solar panels that are U.S. made, we are in effect turning our backs on the great potential that the universe literally gives us for free.

So think about it this weekend, and read your headlines in the business and energy sectors for yourself. When you’re as positive as we are that the sunny side of the street is the side to be walking on, give Adair Solar Company in Mesa a call for a FREE consultation. Sit in the comfort of your own home as one of our agents explains solar tax credits and solar rebates to your family free of charge.

Like this, but in the sand

In this case, literally, it’s a lot of hot air. The solar industry has been taking a beating lately, and lest we forget the value of solar energy and what it can do, we thought we’d bring you this little story about solar energy being used to generate clean energy. Now, Adair Solar Company in Mesa can’t install a 2,600 foot solar tower on your home, but as you read on, think to scale!

Okay, so the idea is to build a giant tower, and right here in Arizona! Of course that makes all the sense in the world, but it still excites the heck out of us! According to Daily Tech, here’s the gist on how this baby will work:

“The tower, which would be the second tallest building in the world after Dubai’s Burj Khalifa skyscraper, will be placed in the Arizona desert. It works by creating solar-thermal power from the sun and the wind, where the sun heats up air underneath a translucent covering around the tower. The air is then heated to 194 degrees Fahrenheit, and makes its way into the tower to spin the turbines and rises — the taller the tower, the stronger the flow of air.”

Kinda makes you wish we could build a tower all the way out to the stratosphere, right? It’s great news from the mind of amazing innovator Roger Davey. According to the plans, this tower will last longer than the average solar array an use no water–if that doesn’t blow your mind, check this out: Davey says the tower requires no support and can be built entirely of cement, create enough solar power to keep 100,000 homes going, and will create nearly 2,000 jobs.

If this pans out the way it’s set to, please pray for a repeat! Daily Tech notes there are plans to make towers like these all over the world. Amen!

Saving money using rooftop solar panels in Arizona is nothing new and Adair Solar Company in Mesa has been at it for 35 years. If you’re interested in lowering your monthly utilities bills and going green, call us today: (480) 827-1162.
