Solar in the Sunshine State… does it makes sense?

Originally posted in June 2021 in Villager Newspaper.

Greetings Villagers! Have you heard of the massive boom in renewable energy? How could you not? Solar Electric Cells, also called Photovoltaic Cells, that create electricity by harnessing sunlight are at the forefront of the renewable energy boom and lots of companies are selling them like proverbial hotcakes all over the country. This is a good thing, Solar is way overdue as an affordable resource for Americans, but in some cases, it can be done in a bad way. 

Don’t you wish you could get your questions about this relatively new technology answered by someone who has absolutely no reason to lie to you? Many of us have had the flyers put on our doors or had someone actually knock on our door and go into their pitch on our doorstep. They are smooth talkers, with big fake smiles, forced cheerfulness and contagious enthusiasm, and they rattle off a lot of information quickly. They use words we don’t completely understand and ask for information from us that feels personal. Meet today’s commissioned Solar Sales Representative. Some of them represent excellent solar companies and do a great job, others? Not so much. 

AllSolar Energy has been serving Floridians for over twenty years. We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

We are experts at not just solar electric, but also thermal solar for domestic and commercial hot water and pools, high SEER HVAC, insulation, radiant barrier, and many other products that conserve energy. We work with roofing contractors, property management companies, national sales organizations, and even other solar companies. They choose us because we know how to solve the tougher problems and we have always had the good sense to put solid customer service above profit. Our reputation and relationships have carried us comfortably through the economic rollercoaster ride we’ve all been through. We’d love to sell you solar, but we don’t need to, and therefore have no reason to compromise our ethics, reputation, or consciences to do it. 

As some of these solar salespeople reach out to you, here’s what to watch out for. How old is the company they represent? What are their reviews like? Do they carefully design a solar array to your particular needs or do they have two to three packages for you to choose from and little to no flexibility? Do they look at the rest of your energy using devices to make sure they are as efficient as possible before suggesting expensive solar electric panels you may not need? And last, and maybe most important, do they do their own installs or sub-contract the work out to real bona fide solar companies like ours?

Renewable energy is a good idea. You are already spending the money.

The amount of money you are spending is going to increase as the price of everything, especially fuel, rises. Solar electric gives me a chance to freeze my power bill at current rates, and also change it from an expense to an investment. For my money, I want to deal with a company that has been doing it for a long time, has a good reputation, customizes a system to my needs, makes sure my home is as efficient as possible first, and is making promises they can deliver on because they stand behind their work. 

If you’d like to find out if Solar Electric makes sense for you and your family, give us a call. We promise that we will look at your project and suggest only what will be in your best interests regarding energy reduction and production. In most cases we can design a system that requires no money down and costs less than you are already spending on electricity. We charge nothing to do the evaluation, and we will not apply pressure to make a sale. What do you have to lose?
