CFS Facility Services Solar Divisionis aggressively pursuing the most innovative solar systems for commercial and residential applications. Our mission is to move Southwest Florida and the rest of the world towards an environmentally sustainable future. We accomplish this through the sales, installation and servicing of all solar and renewable energy systems.
Solar electric, what’s now called photovoltaics (converts the sun’s energy into electricity), is probably the most coveted way of using solar energy. Systems are available to meet any need or specification, from 1% of your energy usage to 100%. With these systems you can actually slow how fast your electric meter spins or even spin it backwards.
Solar hot water heating is the most common and popular way to use solar energy. You can reduce the amount of energy you use to heat hot water by 60% by installing a solar system. Solar hot water systems rely on a solar collector to collect the sun's energy and transfer it to water. Systems can be designed for any residential or commercial application that requires hot water.
Outdoor swimming pools are a great project for those considering solar heating for economic savings. Solar pool heating can produce warmer water which will allow the use of your pool in the cooler Southwest Florida winter months - raising the average pool temperature by roughly 15 degrees. By displacing electricity, solar pool heating can translate into significant economic and environmental savings. Typical systems have very few moving parts, meaning little maintenance and long-term reliability for your Southwest Florida Solar Photovoltaic System.
With Federal incentives available it is now likely to install systems that will offer a return on investment of under five years, some as low as three years. Photovoltaic systems carry a 30% federal tax credit for residential installations. A federal tax credit is a dollar for dollar reduction on owed taxes. If you were to install a $10,000 hot water system you would realize a $3,000 decrease in owed taxes. |
