    , utility ans federal incentives that promote renewable engery ans energy efficieny.
    2. http://www.powerpartnerssolar.com – one of the many manufacturers of certified Solar Water Heating Systems available. One place I saw the light weight panels and trim color options I was mentioning earlier.
    Lastly, the local utilites in some areas also provide additional rebates and incentives for adding a Solar Water Heating Sytem to your exisitng water tank.

    I agree, but everyone needs to realize that adding Solar on their house is an purchase that should boost the long term value of their home if / when they choose to sell. With the environment the way it is going we are unable to dismiss any product or service that offers free power at no cost to both the client and more significantly the environment!
