Adair Solar

Old Glory gets a solar facelift!

With all kinds of recent tussles about solar energy in this country, it is reasonable to suspect that solar energy and other forms of renewable energy just don’t have that many proponents, but plenty of opponents in the United States. Well, if you supposed that as many people did, you would be wrong—and that’s great news!

At Adair Solar Company in Mesa, we believe the most patriotic thing you can do is want to preserve your country, and care for it for future generations. According to a recent article by Nancy Hiler, most Americans would agree with this sentiment:

“Most Americans, whatever their political stance, believe it is important for the United States to develop and use solar energy—9  of out 10, in fact, according to a national survey reported recently by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).  A whopping 89 percent think so. The survey, called the 2011 Schott Solar Barometer, was conducted by independent polling firm Kelton Research. Support for solar is strong across political lines, the survey found, with 80 percent of Republicans,  90 percent of Independents and 94 percent of Democrats agreeing it is important for the U.S. to develop and use solar.”

In addition to being what most Americans think is the right thing to do for the country and the environment, it’s also the right thing to do for their homes and their cost of living too. It lowers the cost of living significantly, especially in a locale like Phoenix, and especially in the summer time. But that’s not all. An investment in solar energy and renewable resources is an investment in America’s job futures also. So if you truly support this country as only a red-blooded American can, then you too support solar energy. And if you do, then why not let solar energy support you?

If you are ready to make the solar move, let a representative from Adair Solar Company in Mesa, AZ come talk to you about the choices you have in solar installations. From rooftop solar panels and solar water heaters to Echo PV, you have a wide variety of choices—and you also have access to solar tax credits and rebates that will dramatically reduce the cost of your solar installation in Phoenix too! Call us today at (480) 827-1162.

According to Energy Secretary Steven Chu, “(…) the Energy Department is helping to unleash America’s solar potential by investing in projects that will make it faster, easier, and cheaper to finance and deploy solar power in communities across the country. These awards will reduce the cost homeowners and businesses pay to install solar energy systems, while at the same time saving money and time for local governments faced with tight budgets.”

This is phenomenal news for local Phoenix solar companies as well as the public they serve. Homeowners won’t have to worry about what’s going on with budget cuts, tax hikes, slashing of funds for solar rebates, or any of that mash up of political issues that are striking pockets of the United States. Many markets with fully capable and willing local solar companies and residents with homes who want to engage such companies are simply not able to due to the cost. Luckily for us, the DOE has favored the Grand Canyon State so we can continue moving forward with installing rooftop solar panels in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, and beyond.

Grants like the one that was bestowed upon Arizona by the Department of Energy are important to make sure that consumers still have an audible voice when they are given the option to make choices in how they power their lives. If we can hear them when they choose something other than oil, when we can hear them when they choose solar energy and wind power, and THEN give them access to that choice, we are building a stronger America. And that’s a fact!

Have you been in the process of choosing between solar and traditional energy options? Give us a call so we can help you understand the tremendous benefits of solar energy, rooftop solar panels, and solar water heaters in Phoenix.

Maybe Flagstaff, but not in Phoenix

There are so many misconceptions about solar energy and how rooftop solar panels in Phoenix and beyond work. Rarely does weather interfere with how well a solar installation works. Unless you live on Pluto, the reach of the sun is relatively vast enough to offer you the level of energy it takes to heat your water, and offer you additional energy.

We have heard all kinds of old wives tales about how solar energy doesn’t work if it’s cold, if there’s snow, if it’s raining, if there’s fog, and so on. While many of these weather scenarios don’t occur where we operate, Adair Solar Company in Mesa is still here to tell you… those photovoltaic rooftop solar panels you have will work under almost any conditions!

In the rarest of Arizona scenarios, like a SEVERE dust storm (haboob!) you might want to hop up on the rooftop and make sure your panels aren’t covered in dust. But beyond that, it’s all good. Cold air will not have an effect on your solar panels… unless by cold air you mean beyond subzero, which, unless we’re way off, isn’t all that likely to happen in Arizona

So if you’re currently weighing your options and trying to decide if solar panels and/or a solar water heater in Phoenix is the right choice for your home, you can take a deep breath and stop weighing now, because it is.

Here's how it works!

According to a recent article from Narooma News, “By replacing an electric water heater with a green-friendly solar hot water system, residents can enjoy reduced household energy consumption of up to 65-75 per cent.”

Narooma news also indicates that around a quarter of average household energy consumption comes from electric water heaters…and that’s only accounting for the electricity they use, not the gas they use to actually heat the water. So conservatively imagine: if your average monthly electricity bill was $100, you can expect to see your first bill after a solar water heater installation in Phoenix drop to $75. Now THAT is improvement that makes paying bills a lot less painful!

So, especially with solar tax credits and rebates available from both the state of Arizona and the federal government, why would you wait to install a solar water heater in Phoenix? You can have it installed at little to no cost in most cases, and the solar water heaters we offer often come in a package deal that also includes preventative air conditioning maintenance and radiant barrier insulation that will both also help you save a tremendous amount of money on your utilities bills, especially where cooling your house in Arizona summer comes into play.

When you get a free in-home consultation from Adair Solar Company in Mesa, AZ you will be shown exactly how all the solar equipment works, and you will also find out your eligibility for solar tax rebates and solar credits–so you’ll know exactly how much you can expect to pay–if anything at all.

We look forward to hearing from you soon! Have a great summer Arizonans!

Bundle Solar Equipment & Save!

You’ve heard about the cable and Internet companies offering bundles with their services — get Internet, phone, and cable TV for a lower price when you bundle. Well, the same is true for solar equipment… but we’d like to note that you’ll save a heck of a lot more bundling solar equipment than you will by bundling cable services! Here’s why:

When you opt in to solar equipment, you’ll be eligible for solar tax credits and rebates. The more solar equipment installations you get, the more solar rebates and credits you’ll be eligible for.

That’s why Adair Solar Company in Phoenix offers installations for solar water heaters, radiant barrier insulation, and preventative a/c maintenance — and you’ll be hard-pressed to find better deals on any of these products from any of our competitors in Phoenix.

We come to your home for a FREE in-home consultation and show you all of your options. We then determine what level of tax credits and solar rebates you qualify for. And here’s the biggie:

You get to watch your utility bills decrease by huge margins from the word go. If you’re like every other typical Arizona resident, you cringe at the thought of opening your monthly statements from the electricity company, especially once May and June (and holy moly July and August!) roll around.

When you choose our solar equipment bundle, you get to save by:

Using a solar water heater in Phoenix: Instead of creating heated water using electricity, you’ll save by using the sun to heat water.

Radiant Barrier in Phoenix: You’ll lessen the amount of heat entering your home by deflecting it from the attic back out to the atmosphere, lowering the heat in your home, making it possible to use your a/c less.

Preventative a/c maintenance in Phoenix: This will ensure that your a/c is running just as it should be so you’re not wasting money on a unit that isn’t working how it should — so many Phoenix residents blast their air conditioner thinking it needs to be working harder because it’s so hot outside — this is often not the case, and in fact due to the a/c unit needing freon or repair.

Give us a call to find out how you can enjoy huge savings with solar equipment in Phoenix. We offer the best in equipment, service, and customer care. Call us today! (480) 827-1162.

According to a recent article post on GetSolar.com, “APS’s 2011 Residential Grid-Tied PV incentive budget has been equally divided into the four quarters of 2011. Once APS has reserved all funding for a given quarter, applications will be held (in the order in which they were received) and will be reserved in the next quarter in which funding is available.”

What does this mean for the thousands and thousands of Arizonans living in the 15 counties that APS serves? It means get solar energy into your home while the getting is good! Install solar panels in Arizona and install solar hot water heaters in Arizona too. Taking advantage of these rebates will save you hundreds and potentially thousands of dollars, and will make the worth of the equipment and solar installation in Arizona even higher in the long term.

At the current moment, APS now pays $1.75 for each each watt produced by solar hot waters heaters or solar panel installations in Arizona. So, by getting on board now with a free solar equipment consultation right in your home, you can ensure that you get the highest available tax rebate offered BEFORE all those highly valuable rebates are history — at least for the foreseeable future. Our advice? Get solar equipment installed on your Arizona home ASAP!

It’s no secret that Arizona gets more rays than just about anywhere on Earth that’s livable. So it would seem that heating your water using the sun would be the rule and not the exception here under the desert sun. Well, it’s moving toward that trend.

APS notes that about 15 percent of the average consumer’s electricity bill is spent heating water… and that essentially that portion of your electricity bill just goes away when you opt to install a solar powered water heater in Arizona.

So, what’s the secret? There isn’t one! We live where the sun prevails over all things, and so we should use the sun as often as we can IN all things we do.

Now that Adair Solar has given away a free solar water heater, we hope that the recipient will enjoy a long solar water heater lifetime of saving money and saving the environment as well.

Stay tuned for more developments in how APS can save consumers like you money when you choose to go solar. The time to choose the sun as your power source is now!

Could it be that wind and solar energy in Arizona are the not-to-distant wave of the future? For many Arizonans and transplants who have lived here for a while, solar energy is nothing new — some use it to heat their pools exclusively while others take the more aggressive and long-term payoff of photovoltaic cells that heat the water throughout their homes entirely.

According to Today’s Energy Solutions, as quoted by Walter Kohn, “Ongoing research and development of alternative energy could lead to a new era in human history in which two renewable sources — solar and wind — will become Earth’s dominant contributors of energy (…)”

It only stands to reason then, that in the sunniest and hottest state of the union, Arizona, solar heating of water will become the norm. Getting on the bandwagon with solar water heaters in Arizona will be every consumer’s best bet.
