Buy solar panels for your construction or remodeling project
Ever wonder where to buy solar panels, if you’ve been thinking about remodeling or taking advantage of tax incentives and rebates for renewable energy? Although some of you have asked if I run a company that sells solar panels, that’s not the case (but I’m starting to think it might be worth looking into!) Regardless, you don’t need to look very hard these days for both solar panels and the equipment necessary to set up your own home solar energy system. I’m going to give you the resources right here so you can purchase solar panels for your project.
The first, most logical choice for you to visit to buy solar panels is a home improvement store or warehouse, like Lowe’s, Home Depot or Costco. There, you’ll find knowledgeable people and discount rates on new solar panels. You may even be able to get a deal on installation if you contract with one of these outfits.
Next on the list may be a shocker. Some oil and gas companies, like BP and Shell Oil, have actually gotten into the solar panel business. I guess they realize that people are not going to keep paying ridiculously high gas prices for heating their home, and they don’t want to miss the bandwagon. Count in the Gulf Region too. They are literally pumping the profits from selling to Big Oil straight back into renewable energy projects, and R&D.
There are many local, regional, national and international solar panel manufacturers and distributors that you can find, as well. Some will only contract on a wholesale, bulk volume basis. Others have divisions for sales and installation. You may even get help with your tax rebate forms from some companies.
For example, in my hometown of Bend, Oregon, Sunlight Solar Energy specializes in grid-tied solar electric systems for homes and businesses. It prides itself on being a “turn-key” solar installer. You will not need to worry about a thing, except paying your bill.
A famous, start-up company that is backed by Google’s co-founders and has gotten much positive press over the past couple of years is Nanosolar. Reportedly, they sell solar panels at a lower-than usual cost. But since so much of their revenues are pumped into research and development of its innovative panels, one cannot say that the bargains will last forever.
Watch this!
Before you buy solar panels, check out a number of options and comparison shop
No matter who you choose to go with, before you buy solar panels, you should check out the manufacturer (and/or installer) with the Better Business Bureau. You don’t want to get burned when making this important investment.
There are many reputable companies from SolarWorld to SunTech. I am not a spokesperson for any of them, so I get nothing from passing on their names for you to Google and make your own decision.
One final word of caution – you generally do get what you pay for. Buy seeking out the cheapest product or installation, you may ultimately have to pay more to fix it in the future. Ask around and see what people’s experiences have been with the company you are considering.
Best of luck with your solar panel project!

Gentlemen, we are developers of the new technology of high-efficiency Solar Cell.
We need to venture investors or grant to finish work on the technology.
We are writing to inform you about opportunities through your site this information to potential investors
Dear Sirs\ Mis, our company is interested in quickly attracting venture
funding(program GRANT) to finish work on the technology of production of
solar
modules with high efficiency. Nizhi request for funding and in the
annex to the letter the results of our work in the form of a report
We offer more detailed information on our company and demand for grant
capital funding in the amount of – $ 3000 000.
Inventor of.
Company- SOLARUS ENERGY Ltd
Address – 454080 RUSSIA, 52 \ 74 St. VOLODARSKOGO, CYTY CHELYABINSK
CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY – technology perfected laboratory,
to manufacture industrial design and conduct an independent test.
REQUIRED AMOUNT OF VENTURE FINANCING – $ 3000 000.
The additional informationFinancing term – 14 months. Return of the
investor – in the course
10 days after the expiration of funding.
PROPOSAL FOR COOPERATION for venture investors
After production of the industrial design and an independent test, we
propose
% Of revenue from the sale of technology.
COMMERCIALIZATION developed technology.
Our technology has a wide range of potential buyers.
This technology allows all companies to manufacturers of solar modules
very easy to integrate our technology into an existing, technological
complex. It is planned to implement the technology on a territorial basis —
right to the technology will be limited to use by the buyer on the
Territories
and obemu release.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
At present the main trends in development by improving the efficiency of
photo electric plates in the application of new non-silicon materials.
So a few days ago, the Japanese company Sharp after 9 years of work
reported the creation of a prototype battery that runs without a hub, but
the efficiency of which is 35,8%.
New uses for electricity generation several photo-absorbing layers, united
among themselves. The substrate is made of battery connections on the basis
of indium and gallium. The properties provided by the battery is quite close
to those used in the aerospace industry. Talking about the mass use will not
have developers in the coming years to address issues of cost reduction and
a number of technological problems.
Our company has gone a different way:
1. We left a substrate of mono silicon.
2. on the surface of the substrate of mono silicon, we have consistently
strike a few
layers of thickness 50-100 nano meter (materials that are applied is our
know-how) —
* Main layer of nano-size mono atomic amorphous silicon, is a very active
state of amorphous silicon. In this layer, the speed of motion of electrons
is several times higher than the standard Cell-based silicon. And as this
layer is able to convert into electrical energy is not only the visible part
of the spectrum of sunlight and ultra violet and infra red radiation. Mono
atomic amorphous silicon produced by quantum chemical engineering at a
temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
Properties of mono atomic amorphous silicon are truly unique.
Cost to automobile 1 gr. This material does not exceed $ 100.
At the same time using 1 gr. mono amorphous silicon can cover 10 square
meter
photovoltaic plates.
* extreme layer is an anti-reflecting the carbon coating.
Total efficiencies achieved over 35%.
If you compare the cost of Sell-based mono silicon efficiency 16%
Cell produced by our technology with efficiency over 35%, our Sell more
10-15% while the efficiency of our Sell more than 2 times better.
While improving the technology and equipment we can achieve efficiency of
50% and above.
In addition to the use of solar energy nanoscale mono atomic amorphous
silicon and its application of our technology has great prospect of
application in the electronics industry.
When applying this material for silicon-based chip, we seek to increase
speed and memory in the old scale of the chip.
We have plans to use this technology in other areas – space, medicine ..
To maintain the pace and timing of the completion of the production of
industrial prototypes
we raise $ 3000 000. In bringing this amount to 10 November 2010 we will
pilot an industrial design in December 2011.
We are interested in quickly attracting investment.
Colleagues once again want to note – we are looking for venture
capital investor (partner) to complete work on the technology and
manufacturing pilot plant.
respect
