Solar Power: How it Works:
1. Electricity generating solar panels are safely and securely mounted on your roof or on the ground.
2. The electricity from your solar panels is fed into an inverter which converts the solar electricity to a usable form.
3. The performance data of your system can be accessed via the internet in real time!
4. The electric panel in your home or building now receives electricity from your panels. Your home or building is now receiving solar generated electricity.
5. Your electric meter can back-wards when your solar panels are generating more electricity than you are using.
6. Excess electricity from your solar panels is sold back to the electric grid.

How Solar Works...
Solar panels capture energy from the sun. That energy is then fed to an inverter which converts it from DC into AC power, making it suitable to meet your home electric needs. National standards allow solar power owners to connect to local utility grids, “store” their power on the grid and take it back when needed. This is called net-metering.
Solar power systems have no moving parts, use no fuel and release no pollution. Owners usually experience
payback within 7-12 years. READ MORE »
Get BIG Savings
With Federal and State Tax Incentives
Enjoy peace of mind when you have a solar electric system installed on your home by LVS. In addition to saving a significant amount of money on electricity, you are protecting the environment.
To better afford solar businesses can take advantage of tax credits, both state and federal, secure attractive financing and use the depreciation to reach the "breakeven" point quickly. In many cases that point can be 2-4 years. That is a very attractive ROI. For more information call us or talk to your tax adviser. Remember after 'breakeven' your operating costs are less. Money not spent goes directly to the bottom line.
Utilize the most important and reliable power source,
the sun!

You can save money producing
your own clean electricity.
LVS solar power solutions
provide the following money
saving benefits
for your home:
Reduce Or Even Eliminate Your Electricity Bill.
Your LVS system will produce electricity during the day and sell excess back to the utility grid.
Increase The Value of Your Property.
A recent study from the Appraisal Institute showed the selling price of homes and businesses increased by $20.73 for every $1 decrease in annual utility bills. For example, a system that costs about $12,000 will increase the value of your property by $20,000.
Financial Incentives.
Cash rebates, tax credits and deductions can pay for up to 65% for residential installations. Commercial installations have the added tax benefits of depreciation.
Positive Environmental Impact. A 2.5kW solar system reduces C02 emissions by an amount similar to that which would occur by planting 1 acre of trees or the amount of C02 emitted by a passenger car driving 7.800 miles per year.
