two new technolgies


solar panels

Solar Panels are roof integrated tile photovoltaic systems that give homeowners and businesses a way to add solar energy to their homes and buildings using panels that blend seamlessly with the roof line. The benefit of having solar panels is that it would result in approximately 17,000 fewer tons of sulfur dioxide emissions and approximately 4,900 fewer tons of smog-forming nitrogen oxide emissions per year. Also homeowners will save up to 60% on monthly energy costs.
