Solar Start-ups Growing With Discounts

(Img Source:12v lead acid battery)Solar is the hottest growing business out there. A lot of experts claim 'unprecedented growth' for the solar industry. Let's put this into consumer terms; lower prices.

Ok, lower prices are a good thing, what with the Obama 30 tax credit and state incentives, but there is another aspect working just as much in the consumers favor as all of these new government reasons-read that as dollars and cents-to get solar now. Small business solar startups are growing just as fast as the industry.

Ok, what exactly does that mean? Start ups are new businesses, and as we all know that new businesses get the word out that they are new by offering deals. What kind of deals, you may ask? Well, they could probably offer some kind of limited deal on the price of solar panels. My guess with this is that, the solar industry as a whole is already offering wonderful deals on the price of panels, unheard of in the industry so far. So, although you may be able to find some sort of price reduction on the actual panels themselves, here is where finding a new solar start up will really pay off.

They can give you the best deals on installation, maybe as much as 50% or higher off the tab. That's right, and although even installation is covered by the tax credit, the more they are willing to give you off that cost, the less the entire cost of the system will be, and you'll still get your 30% tax credit too!

So when you are going solar, don't just look around for the best prices on panels, because the panels are only half of the saving equation, but the big money savings just might be on the cost of installation.

An average US gallon (3.8L) of gasoline requires approximately 90 metric tons of ancient plant matter as precursor material. Coal is less, at 50 metric tons but the costs in paleo-efficiency to convert ancient solar energy via intermediate agencies such as the above-mentioned precursor material (plankton, algae, biomass) into oil and coal are equally appalling.

In our convenient math, we calculate cost of oil and coal by toting up the cost of bringing it up and the cost of processing, refining, transporting, etc. We conveniently fail to add on the cost of time and energy already employed to create the raised oil/coal from its precursor material. An inconvenient truth, if there is one. The Mayans and the Easter Island inhabitants did not comprehend the nature of their fatal error and kept cutting trees until doomsday. We do not have that excuse.
