It's a fact that all life depends on and comes from the sun. The production of oxygen and food would be impossible without solar energy. Farmers know the value of a large field with a plentiful supply of sunlight, and now individuals all around the world are taking this boundless source of diffuse energy more seriously as the finite supply of fossil fuels dwindle.
Today less than 0.1% of our heating, transportation and power energy comes from direct sunlight although it is now possible to meet all our energy needs with this simple, renewable resource.

Photovoltaic solar products use sunlight to generate electricity. The potential is huge – with current PV technology we could supply all U.S. electrical needs by covering only one third of one percent of our country’s land area in modules. There are no moving parts, so once installed they deliver energy as long as the sun shines. The solution is there, and you can be part of it. More and more areas have feed-in tariffs, allowing owners of PV installations to sell excess electricity back to the power company. The power companies like it, because they buy electricity from you when they need it the most, during the day, when companies and air conditioning units are running at their peak. It is a true win-win situation. Our photovoltaic products are fully integrated and carefully coordinated for maximum long-term output.
The module turns solar radiation into electricity. Our PV modules have very high performance and long life. Each individual module is outputtested before it leaves the factory, so you and your installer know exactly what it will deliver.
