Solar Direct
“Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on me.” There are so many songs, poems, prayers, and homages written to our brightly burning, ever-healing sun. We cannot survive without it. There is simply nothing sustainable without our sun. As centuries have passed, civilizations have gone from worshiping its undeniable powers to understanding the harmful effects it can have on humans, intent on playing under it for too long. But now we are living in a time when we can harness a fraction of its energy to power anything. It is sustainable, affordable, clean and the reason many business and homeowners are making modest accommodations to tap into what energy today looks like. Always on the forefront, forever changing the lives and comfortability of thousands of Floridians – Solar Direct is “bringing renewable technology down to earth.”
If you are one of the millions of Americans worried about Mother Nature and our consumption of her valuable resources, there are ways in which you can lessen the burden. And, in doing so, you can also save thousands of dollars every year, with an added benefit that when the hurricanes roll in with excessive storms and downed power lines, your lights will stay on and you’re AC will continue to keep you comfortable. Sound good? Every day, people are turning toward options that make them better stewards of our planet. Are you ready to join them?
In the past, solar-powered heating meant mammoth structures had to be mounted to your roof and the payoff was less than impressive. Today, sleek, and minimalized equipment with revolutionary technology taps into the sun’s immense powers, so that the only thing you notice are your lowered or non-existent electric bills. Their mission, “Inspiring others to discover environmentally responsible solutions,” has been the battle cry for a trove of Suncoast citizens who are tired of the excessive electric bills inundating them every month. From electric, to pool and spa water heating, to energy and space saving systems, Solar Direct has an impressive lineup of products and services that can start saving you money today.
And, speaking of money – – who would like to save some? Several rebates and incentives are in place to make the transition to solar energy even more attractive and necessary. The Renewable Energy Tax Credit provides credits to offset the costs associated with turning to solar. Specifically, a 30% tax credit is given for individuals converting to solar electric and solar water heating. Let us look at that in terms of real dollars: A solar water heater which retails for $5500 ends up costing you just $3850 thanks to that 30% tax credit. For whole home Solar Electric systems, that rebate can be as high as $9000 or more depending on the size of the system. Additionally, there are $0 operating costs associated with it after the first purchase and your energy bills can be reduced by up to a whopping 100%! And the greatest part of this equation is there is absolutely no pollution created. Why in the world are you not on the solar energy bandwagon? There is room for more environmentally conscious individuals; come on board!
Solar Direct and IBE share a common financial trait: Solar Direct saves the consumer real dollars with an exponential effect over time, and IBE does the same thing. This organization saves merchants thousands of dollars, if not more, over the course of a year through mutually beneficial bartering. For Solar Direct, IBE has always been an avenue to save funds around the office by bartering for cleaning, supplies and employee appreciation gifts. With the money saved through IBE, Solar Direct can pass those savings directly back to their customers.
