Upgrade your new Energy Star home with a
solar water heating system & start saving today!
    The great value of our solar water heating systems combined with the North Carolina solar energy tax credit, means you can have a solar water heating system installed and actually get paid for it!

    The technologies and methods used in the design and construction of your new Energy Star home will result in higher comfort and great savings on your heating & cooling costs. Due to the dramatic reduction in these costs, water heating now becomes the largest single expense of your yearly energy bill.

    Heating water constitutes over 25% of the annual energy usage of a local Wilmington, NC Energy Star home shown below*.
    Financing this system with a typical 30 yr. mortgage increases your monthly payments by $25.00. The solar water heater reduces your monthly electric bill by that same $25.00. From the first month, the savings in utility costs are paying for the system.
Then as utility prices increase with the passing years, raising your friends and neighbors water heating costs to $30.00 & $40.00 a month, your costs will stay at that fixed $25.00/mo. rate, saving you more money with each passing year!
Purchasing this system also qualifies you for the solar tax credit now offered by North Carolina. This means that if you are getting a tax return, the state will send you an additional $1,390.00 back this year, or if you owe, you can pay $1,390.00 less in taxes. This is money in your pocket!
    The collectors pictured above are placed on the roof at the back of your home and your water heater is simply replaced with the 80 gallon solar water heating tank, controller, and pump shown at left. These systems are extremely reliable and maintenance free.
