Today, we snapped this photo on 429 South, showcasing what can only be described as a solar panel field—a testament to a cleaner, greener energy landscape.

Under the Clean Air Act, the government mandates traditional energy companies to generate a minimum of 30% clean air—a vital stride toward achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2050.

While this move towards sustainability is commendable although also forced, let's ponder: Is it genuinely benefiting homeowners, or are they left shouldering the burden?

Despite already relying partially on solar power without even noticing it, homeowners miss out on the savings it promises, paying instead through increased rates driven by its facilitation and the escalating cost of fossil fuels since spring 2023.

Picture this: A future without our current traditional energy companies. Why? Simply put, they can't sustain.
A recent Science Advances study warns that burning all remaining fossil fuels that our planet provides, risks melting Antarctic ice, drowning most major cities worldwide. And currently, we burn a staggering 101.5 million barrels of fossil fuel every single day.

Some may choose to turn a blind eye to this crisis—that's a personal choice. Yet, change is inevitable, and it falls upon the rest of us to act, embracing solutions that not only combat the crisis but also provide substantial savings.

It's a win-win waiting to be seized, and we want to help you make the clean energy switch.

In the face of other relentless challenges, energy bills have surged by 30.5% since 2022, with another approved increase set for October 2024.

Awaiting approval is now somehow, yet another increase.

Upon moving into your home, you were never consulted on your preferred utility provider. You never had an opportunity to choose. Your financial capacity was never considered, and the option of a lower, price-protected and predictable bill was never presented.

Your power is instead, activated and rates continually increase without proactive notification. Surprisingly, (yet not surprisingly), your price per kWh isn't even stated on your bill. Understanding your rate and its increases involves deciphering complex energy terms and performing necessary calculations.

However, now, the power could fall into your hands.
Your concerns matter and are undoubtedly legitimate.

Don't want to take out loans and take on additional debt either?

Opt for the renewable energy switch, guaranteeing zero out-of-pocket expenses, immediate savings, and safeguarding your bills from these unwarranted increases.

It's time to exercise your choice and secure a more sustainable and cost-effective future.

What does having "Solar As A Service" entail and how does it work?

A brief exploration into historical origins provides insights into the adaptive nature of the industry, which has now evolved to offer solutions to a wider consumer base.

Interestingly enough, solar cells were actually first developed in 1883 and progress was made in the 1950s.

The pivotal turning point however, came in the 1970s during the energy crisis, driving the need for renewable energy sources, and introducing solar PV systems. This era marked the inception of sustainable practices, notably with the implementation of the Clean Air Act, still regulating air pollution in the United States today.

The past 20 years, financing to own the system has certainly played a crucial role in making solar adoption accessible to homeowners. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 introduced the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), providing a 30% (now 26%) tax credit for residential and commercial solar installations.

Homeowners that finance to own their system could leverage this credit by either applying it to their loan to partially reduce overall costs or using it as a deduction towards their taxes owed for the year. Once the loan is paid off (averaging between 10-20 years), the need to pay for power consumption is potentially eliminated.

While this financing option holds great potential for achieving long-term financial goals, its complexity can't necessarily be overlooked.

It demands a significant commitment and interest from homeowners to fully comprehend the framework of what it entails.

This leaves homeowners to contemplate and navigate through a multitude of factors – from understanding the intricacies of the system to evaluating loan approval, terms, interest rates, system sizes, efficiency, roof space, sun hours, usage, tax credits, knowledgeable CPA's, permitting, proper monitoring, maintenance costs, warranty plans, homeowner insurance policies, future technological advancements, and more.

This understandably, can begin to sound overwhelming.
And you could argue this is the cause of many homeowners, not wanting to delve in to the complicated process.

Recent years have seen a significant surge in rooftop solar adoption through technological advancements, federal mandates, innovative business models, and heightened environmental awareness.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) also announced a statement in the beginning of 2024, projecting that solar energy is to account for nearly the entire growth within the electric power sector moving forward.

Recognizing the evolving needs of homeowners, our company has also evolved. Although still carrying financing as an option, we've also pioneered a revolutionary approach for our industry – "Solar As A Service."

This concept redefines solar adoption, making it accessible to everyone without the burden of any out-of-pocket or up-front expenses, the need for loans, or to take on any additional debt.

In a time marked by rising essential costs, inflation, and high interest rates, this seamless process allows homeowners to contribute to a sustainable future and save money without taking on additional financial strain.

Considering the 21 million U.S. families currently behind in their energy bills and the consistent 8.5% - 14% rise in energy bills annually, a shift to solar as the primary energy provider becomes imperative.

With an immediate average drop of 40% in your bill, coupled with a 25-year price-protection at a mere 2.9% annual rate, the immediate and predictable benefits are substantial. Moreover, the responsibilities and complexities of the system maintenance, monitoring, and tracking rest entirely with us.

In a landscape where homeowners are already burdened with various responsibilities, our commitment has been to simplify the solar adoption process.

Embracing transparency and acknowledging the imperfections within the solar industry, with our team, we are determined to set a higher standard. It's unfortunate for us to witness certain players prioritize self-gratification over delivering genuine expertise and actual equitable solutions for homeowners. This we believe has heavily contributed to tainting our industry and is dissuading homeowners who could genuinely benefit from solar.

This commitment fuels our substantial investment in to our website and now our page.

At the core of our team's ethos is transparency. We emphasize the vital role of selecting a company with a longterm commitment and a representative with genuine expertises.

Mistakes can happen when companies prioritize quick financial gains, leading to bankruptcies and leaving homeowners burdened with unmonitored systems. Similarly, challenges may arise when self-proclaimed experts lacking necessary training, recommend unsuitable systems or make false promises for quick 'sales'.

Our mission goes beyond promoting our services. With our team, we aim to provide value, genuine industry insight, and empower homeowners with knowledge to challenge and transform existing stigmas. Whether or not you choose our services, we believe informed homeowners contribute to positive change in our industry.

Let's be open to acknowledging stigmas, reshape perceptions, offer genuine solutions, and elevate the solar experience.

Did you know?
Time is really, of the essence.

If our team seems proactive, rest assured it stems from a sincere intention to inform and guide. We're not advocating for mere signatures; instead, we deeply understand the multifaceted nature of this industry and its potential impact on homeowners.

Federal regulations have long supported solar initiatives, making it possible for a company like ours to provide homeowners with solar solutions at no out-of-pocket expense. This support has allowed us to offer solutions to a vastly wider audience as well, and really, has allowed us to even exist. However, we're now observing the onset of state-level regulations.

California has already implemented solar regulations, surprisingly making it more challenging for both homeowners and solar companies. Despite solar energy not being a new concept – our company being at the forefront for 17 years, the International Energy Agency (IEA) notes that solar is experiencing a vast growth spurt right now, which is exciting. But unfortunately, rapid growth in any industry, often brings potential concerns about new regulations.

The common advice is that getting into something early allows you to maximize its benefits. Consider the analogy of being one of the first sellers on Amazon. Applying the same concept, getting solar for your home early could prove advantageous. However, we can't ignore the potential for stricter state-level regulations in Florida and other states, aimed at generating profits locally. This would make it more challenging for solar companies and, consequently, for homeowners. Such regulations might force companies to ultimately, increase annual rates.

Our PPA program currently boasts a minimal 2.9% rate. The beauty of this minimal rate is that it ensures you won't be paying as much as you are currently with traditional energy bills until, in most cases, 15-20 years from now. It's a proven concept that works. So much so, that we vigilantly monitor state legislative developments, fearing potential regulations that could compel us to raise this rate for future customers. To provide context, customers who enrolled in our PPA program just over seven years ago secured a locked-in 0% annual rate. While we wish we could still offer this, it exemplifies the regulatory impact on both companies and homeowners over time.

Despite not being able to guarantee that our current rate will remain for future potential customers or even predict that it will change, the resilience of our program still makes it a sensible choice if it did. By joining now, you secure not only an immediate and significantly lower bill and favorable annual rate at no out-of-pocket expenses, but an immediate protection from a potential future increase. We encourage homeowners to act swiftly to safeguard your energy costs and contribute to a sustainable future.

Did you know?

In 2022, the NEADA reported that over 20 million families, about 1 out of 6 families in the U.S., are behind in their energy bills. In total, these families are behind in over $16.1 billion.

This is unfortunately, to no surprise, considering it's reported that about 62% of Americans (211 million) are currently living paycheck to paycheck.

So if this resonates with you, you are assuredly not alone. The ripple effects of the economy and inflation have touched every corner of America in recent years.

This shocking increase in utility debt follows the increase of essential items..
Since 2018, the USDA reported an increase of:
26% increase in Transportation
20% increase in Grocery/Food
16% increase in Housing
14% increase in Medical Care

This utility debt spike, contributing to the growing paycheck-to-paycheck struggle, is further fueled by the recent surge in fossil fuel costs, driving up our energy bills.

In 2022, the IEA reported there was a 15.5% increase in electricity bills.

In 2023, the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) approved an increase of 15.1% for Duke Energy residential customers, the third-largest energy company in the U.S.

With those findings, from 2022-2024, there has been a 30.6% increase in electricity bills. There is another increase set for October of 2024.

This reflects a price increase higher than any other essentials just within just the past 2 years, rather than a span of 7.

It is estimated that in the U.S., electricity bills rise by an average of 10% each year.

If your bill is currently $250 monthly and increased by 10% annually, in just 10 years from now, you could be paying over $500 monthly.

Did you know, by transitioning to us as your energy provider, your current monthly energy bill could be reduced, for instance, from $250 to immediately about an average of $150, price-protected?

To put things in to perspective, at our only 2.9% annual increase, it would take 20 years before you're paying $250 again..

Switching incurs no out-of-pocket expenses, and involves no loans, no debt. It includes a custom solar panel system designed by our engineers, installation and all other associated up-front fees. A 25-year workmanship warranty, monitoring, system maintenance and repairs, manufacturer's warranty, service transfer guarantee, insurance coverage, and a 10-year roof pe*******on warranty—all included.

We're able to provide these savings at no out-of-pocket costs you, and the value of contributing to a sustainable future is truly priceless.

Reach out to us. With our team, we can assure you a no-pressure, fair evaluation that makes sense to you and your specific needs. We'll educate you on your options, provide you a solution, and show you that you do have a choice outside of traditional energy company monopolies.

Did you know?

Solar energy will have a huge impact on our future, and our planet.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) announced today that they expect solar electric generation will be the leading source of growth in the U.S. electric power sector through 2025.

We currently burn 101.5 million barrels of fuel each day to supply the electricity demand. As most know, this has continually introduced absolutely devastating effects on not only our environment and ecosystems, but our health too.

On a positive note, solar energy offers a vastly significant solution to this crisis and the IEA indicates from years 2022 to 2050 a substantial increase (about 380%) in renewable capacity, primarily driven by solar energy.

The shift in growth is influenced by factors such as modern business models, economic growth and government subsidies. Even in scenarios with lower economic growth, solar capacity is expected to grow significantly.

In contrast, fossil fuel generating capacity is projected to increase only modestly (about 11%), emphasizing a notable transition toward solar and other renewables in the U.S. energy landscape.
