Absolute Electric is one of the areas most experienced solar contractors. Advantages of solar Your home uses a substantial amount of electricity every day. Even when you are away , the electronic devices and appliances found in almost every home consume enough power to raise the energy bill , just take a look at your statement for last month . Never goes down does it ? Now there are many government rebates , tax credits , and financing for GRID TIED solar voltaic systems . This type of system converts the power produced from solar panels into usable household voltages and supplies this energy directly to the load center (breaker box) in your home . This setup requires no batteries to store the energy , and is self operating ! You wont even know its there until you get your lower energy bill . While you are away and during periods of low power consumption your solar array will feed any unused power produced back into the local power grid . This can cancel out the cost of your high energy use periods and even make you a profit on your energy bill. Absolute Electric is one of the most experienced Solar contractors in CT. We also specialize in commercial solar in CT, with a focus on tracking systems developed by OPEL inc. We have the know how to design and install a solar or wind energy system that will work for you and save you money, all while using less fossil fuels and lessening the strain on the power grid, which is good for us and our planet.  Commercial buildings and power purchase agreements Do you have commercial building such as a garage , warehouse , barn , or municipal building such as a school ? There are grants and rebates available through the state of CT. We can often install a solar array at little to no direct cost to the owner and then lease or sell the electricity produced from the system to the owner of the property at a fixed rate for a specific period of time . Not only does this offset the power demand , it also frees you from the mercy of the power company and its ever increasing rates . Large flat roofs and unused fields provide enough space to install arrays large enough to significantly offset or even cancel out even large power demands. Advantages of Solar Thermal - Energy from the sun is environmentally friendly. It’s clean, it doesn’t pollute. Heating our homes with oil or or using electricity from power plants working with oil and coal, increase the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
- Solar systems can now work in almost any climate, though a good home's orientation and design is important. See Passive Solar Techniques. According to the US Environmental and Energy Study Institute, 40% of all U.S. homes can install solar water heaters even with nowadays technology.
- Residential solar panels require little maintenance, and the initial investment can be recovered within 3 to 8 years; Solar systems pay for themselves through savings on electricity or natural gas bills. After the payback period, the energy cost becomes approximately zero.
- Financial incentives can reduce the cost of the initial investment and installing. The U.S. government offers tax credits that may mount to 30 percent of the investment (maximum of $2,000) in the case of water heater systems (excluding swimming pools...), and the system must be certified by the SRCC (Solar Rating and Certification Corporation).
- Manufacturers are offering warranties of 20 years and more.
