Renewable Power Solutions Unveils Low-Cost Solar System
San Jose CA (SPX) Jun 29, 2009 Renewable Power Solutions has announced the immediate availability of a 1.2-kilowatt solar system for less than $5,000 after California state rebate incentives, tax credits and first-year energy savings. The Renewable Power Solutions "Little Giant" solar system can power average household appliances like an energy-efficient refrigerator, a small air conditioner unit, a dishwasher or 64 compact florescent light bulbs. The financial benefits of this system over 25 years equal approximately $55,000. Jose Radzinsky, CEO of Renewable Power Solutions, said, "Many Bay Area families want to convert their homes to solar power but find the cost of a complete system to be too great. We offer a product that is quick to install and will let families reap environmental and financial benefits while doing their part to make the planet greener. Over the course of 25 years, the Little Giant will save 18 tons of greenhouse gases, or the equivalent of 36,000 automotive miles. Additionally, homeowners can start with a small yet powerful system and expand it over time if they choose." Today, California-based incentives are at step 5 of the Go Solar California initiative, and current rebates are at $1.55 per watt. The Energy Commission provides incentives for energy-efficient new home construction under the New Solar Homes Partnership and for existing homes under Go Solar California. The Little Giant system contains six USA-made solar panels by Sharp rated at 216 watts each and six Enphase Microinverters. Once permits are obtained, a Renewable Power Solutions team can complete the installation within one business day. Share This Article With Planet Earth
