to learn how to avoid the typical tactics that
are used by sales people to convince you to buy
their overpriced solar systems.
The Longest Warranty In The Industry
The solar panels that are used in these Palm Springs Solar systems come with a 25 year factory
warranty. The inverters
come with a 10 year factory warranty. The longest warranties
in the industry !
Before You Buy !
Click here
to learn ten questions that you absolutely must ask before buying a solar electric system from any dealer.
Palm Springs Solar only uses solar panels that have been
manufactured with solar cells that have been
cut from solid ingots of silicon.
When
shopping for solar panels, always insist on
solar panels that use solar cells that have
been cut from a solid silicon ingot.
Many of the solar panels that are on the
market that use solar cells that are not cut
from solid silicon ingots may offer lower
efficiencies, poorer tolerances or lesser warranties.
No thin film, ribbons, bows or strings attached.
Simply Better Components
In an effort to be more competitive, many
dealers have resorted to offering thin light
duty mounting rails that require many more
roof penetrations, lower cost, lightweight inverters with high frequency transformers instead of a heavy duty 60 Hertz output transformer, solar panels with poorer per Watt PTC ratings and lesser warranties and or solar panels that use cells that are not cut from a solid ingot of silicon.
Here at Palm Springs Solar we never skimp on quality. Every system that we sell includes only the very best heavy duty components available on today's market.
And that's not just talk. In a side by side comparison we'll prove why our name brand top of the line equipment outperforms the competition hands down at a price that can't be beat.
Weight Matters
Palm Springs Solar only uses heavy duty inverters with 60 Hertz based, copper wound output transformers for high
efficiency and unbeatable durability and performance.
Copper is
expensive but its time tested performance in inverters is undeniable.
Before
making a buying decision, better ask how much
the other dealer's inverter weighs, then ask to
see the inverter's specification sheet to be
sure.
Many of our competitors use inverters with lower cost, high frequency output transformers.
No Toxic Lead Or Cadmium Over The Roof Of
Your Home
We're beginning to notice a
disturbing trend where existing manufacturers
are continuing to use toxic lead and several new
manufacturers are introducing the known
carcinogen Cadmium in their solar panel
construction.
Mitsubishi Electric uses no lead or
Cadmium in their solar panels.
Massive Mounting Rails
We pay
more for the heavier duty, top of the line
Unirac mounting rails that are used in our
systems, but if you compare Unirac to the
the other dealers are offering you, you'll find that Unirac uses much
more aluminum.
Because the U shaped rail
uses far less aluminum, the result is a flimsier
design which will require many more holes
drilled into your roof to provide the rigidity
that is necessary to support the solar panels.
Drilling more holes into your roof can increase
labor costs as well as increase the risk of a
leak. **

The Brand New Solar Power Tax Credit Is Here !
If you've been
considering solar for your home or business,
it's now time to celebrate ! After nearly a
year of debates and nine previous attempts, On
Friday October 3rd 2008 Congress
finally approved a bill that not only
extends the Federal 30% tax credit for solar
but also removes the $2,000.00 cap that
existed on the previous residential tax
credit. That's an
incredible 30% with no cap for residential
and commercial installations !
If you haven't
already purchased a solar system and applied
for your rebate approval then you're probably
faced with a dilemma. If you wait till next
year so that you can take advantage of the
higher tax credit, then you run a big risk
that the current higher rebate amounts that
are offered by your state will have expired.
On the other hand if you install your system
this year, you'll qualify for the higher cash
rebate amounts but you'll then qualify for the
smaller Federal tax credit that is currently
available.
As of 10/03/08 California's CSI program
reports that there is only approximately ten
megawatts worth of rebate funds left for SCE
and approximately Eight megawatts worth of
rebate funds left for PG&E at the current
higher rebate amounts. Once these remaining
megawatts have been reserved, the rebates
will drop to only $1,900.00 per kilowatt for
Southern California Edison and only
$1,550.00 per kilowatt for Pacific Gas &
Electric.
We offer a win, win solution:
1.
For a limited time, place an order on
this top of the line grid intertie solar
panel system at our unbeatable price and
(no matter what your tax status) you can take advantage
of our exclusive
IDTC (It doesn't Take Congress)
$2,000.00 instant rebate offer.
2.
Place a 10% deposit on the system of your choice at the time that your rebate application is submitted to your utility company. Then pay
the balance on your system when you receive your rebate reservation approval from the utility and
we'll add an additional $400.00 per PTC kilowatt
SolarGreenBacksTM
instant rebate.
3. Install your
system and activate it (bring it into service)
on or after January 1st 2009, and qualify for the new 30% Federal
tax credit with no cap.
That's $2,000.00
and an additional
$400.00 per PTC kilowatt instant rebate
from us, a 30% tax credit with no cap
from the Feds plus up to $2,200.00 per PTC
kilowatt cash rebate from the utility !
You've got to hurry though. The Rebate Is
Dropping Fast.
SCE's
current $2,200.00 per kilowatt cash rebate and
PG&E's current $1,900.00 per kilowatt cash
rebate can expire at any time and our
IDTC
$2,000.00 instant rebate and our $400.00 per
PTC kilowatt
SolarGreenBacksTM
instant
rebate expires November 31st 2008.

With the cost of gasoline,
natural gas and electricity going through the roof !, it is now time to start
thinking about your energy budget as a whole.
You
can't make your own gasoline and you can't make your
own natural gas, but now you CAN make your
own electricity. And the best part about it is that
the fuel to make own electricity falls from the sky everyday for free.
Thousands of utility customers throughout the U.S., who were tired of the high
cost of electricity have taken advantage of the huge rebates and tax credits
which are available for the installation of solar energy systems on their homes
and businesses.
For Example the State of California is currently offering a soon to expire cash rebate of up to $2,200.00 per kilowatt. And the Federal Government is offering a 30% tax credit
($2,000.00 maximum for residential and no cap for commercial.) And unlike like the old solar energy systems of yesteryear that only produced hot water, these new systems actually produce electricity ! Clean reliable electricity to run lights,
TVs, pumps, refrigerators, computers and many other appliances, all with free energy from the Sun.
The staff here at Palm Springs Solar are experts in the design and implementation of systems that qualify for
many State rebate programs. We offer free assistance in the design of your system and can even assist you with the submission of your application to your State.
Depending on the size system you choose and the number of loads you have running during the day, it is actually possible watch the power company's meter run backwards.

About This Amazing Company.
When it comes to purchasing a solar system
for your home or business it is crucial that
you take a very close look at the solar
panels that the dealer is offering you.
After all, solar panels are the workhorse of any solar system. Far too many consumers simply purchase what ever it is that a dealer is offering without even looking at a specification sheet. Performance that is lacking by just a few percentage points or
an inferior warranty can make all the difference in the world over the expected
life of a solar panel.
Anyone can build a
solar panel that works here on Earth, now strap that same solar panel to a
rocket that subjects it to 8 Gs of bone jarring thrust and then expose it to
high energy cosmic rays as well as temperatures that can soar as high as 300oC
and now you have engineered a solar panel.
That's exactly
the type of expertise that has been
perfected by Mitsubishi Electric
engineers that began when
they established their space satellite business more than 30 years ago.
Building
on that experience and utilizing the latest state of the art patented
process for manufacturing multi-crystalline silicon, Mitsubishi Electric
has achieved real world efficiencies, tolerance levels
and reliability that was once thought to be impossible. And unlike other manufacturers they did it without using toxic lead in their panels.
Since 1974 Mitsubishi Electric is one of the oldest and most trusted names in the industry.
Because Mitsubishi Electric
cares about the environment they use absolutely no toxic lead in the manufacture
of their solar panels. Instead they use silver electrodes which not only
protects our precious environment but also enhances efficiency which is why
Mitsubishi solar panels outperforms many of their competitors and gives you a
bigger rebate at a better price per watt. A typical conventional 3 kW solar
array uses up to 864,000 milligrams of lead. A Mitsubishi 3 kW array uses Zero lead.
Next we add one of the finest mounting rack
systems available today. The UniRac SolarMount system is unsurpassed in quality
and durability, rated to withstand 120 miles per hour wind speeds, UniRac
SolarMounts are engineered to last a lifetime.
Finally we top off our systems with the best price that you'll find anywhere. In fact, we're so sure that ours is the best deal available, that we'll beat any nationally advertised price on our same, in stock, top of the line systems or your system is free.
Unlike other dealers that will sell you a
barebones system, our premium quality kits include everything you see listed above.
A Solar Electric System May Actually Increase Your Home's Value
A study by ICF Consulting which was funded by the Housing and Urban Development Department and the EPA concluded that energy saving measures such as solar can add $20.00 of home value for every $1.00 in yearly energy cost savings.
Click here to view a reprint of ICF Consulting's report
titled : Evidence Of Rational Market Valuations For Home Energy Efficiency.
Where the $20.00 increase for every $1.00 in yearly energy
costs savings is explained.
The Alpha Grid Intertie system is perfect for reducing your
monthly electric bill. No batteries are needed
because this system utilizes a grid intertie power conditioning unit. You'll actually become a mini
power company selling power back to your utility
company while the sun is shining. If your power
production exceeds your power consumption, depending
on the type of meter you have you will be able to
actually watch your meter run backwards, what a
sight !

***Peak sunshine is defined as sunshine which is available during clear sky conditions between the hours of 9 AM and 3 PM. Your system's performance may vary depending on factors such as, geographic location, the angle at which your solar panels are tilted, time of year, degree of annual cloud cover, pollutants in the air, dirt and guano (bird droppings) build up on the solar modules, time of day, obstacles to sunlight such as trees and buildings, and the direction that the solar modules are pointed at.
**(Your rebate amount may vary depending on
expected system performance
and will be calculated based on equipment ratings
and installation factors, such as geographic
location, tilt, and shading.)
