We believe in solar so much we’re installing it at our homes

Solar is a great way to go. We encourage it for a lot of our clients as a good way to reduce energy costs and to help the environment.

We believe it so much that we’re installing solar systems not only at our company headquarters in Binghamton, but at the homes of our three principals – Glenn, Ed and Richard.

To be honest, we followed every principle we encourage our customers to follow. We looked at our needs, designed the system that met them, then found the best financing to create the best return. In fact, the solar systems are eligible for a tax credit worth 30 percent of the total job cost.

We’re going to be so much more comfortable for it.

• At our company headquarters, the Buderus SKS4.0 solar panels and Buderus boilers will provide hot water, comfortable heating and will even melt the snow at critical entries. (We hate shoveling as much as you do.)
• Glenn’s house will have a similar system, with similar snow-melting capabilities. Glenn really hates shoveling.
• Ed and Richard are installing systems that provide heat and hot water.
  

The solar panels circulate glycol and water through a heat exchanger that provides hot water. That’s as opposed to a photovoltaic system that provides electricity. Just in case of excessive darkness and extra use, we’re also installing a supplemental boiler to help the solar system.

The result is that we’ll save money while maintaining our comfort. And we won’t have to shovel as much.
