A Solar System Can
Actually Increase Your Home's Resale Value
According to a recent study by ICF
Consulting (funded by HUD and the EPA) energy
saving measures such as solar can add $20 of
home value for every $1 of yearly energy cost
savings.
HOT
TIP !
Did you know that the 200 or 205 watt solar panel that the other dealer is trying to sell you is only guaranteed to produce 180 and 184.5 watts respectively, right out of the box.

Top Of The Line
Components
In an effort to be competitive, many of the other dealers have resorted to offering thin light duty mounting rails that require many more roof penetrations, lightweight inverters with no output transformer, or inverters that are manufactured in third world countries and solar panels with poorer PTC ratings and or poorer tolerance ratings.
Here at San Francisco Solar we never skimp on
quality. Every system that we sell includes
only the very best heavy duty components
available on today's market.
And that's not just talk! In a side by side
comparison we'll prove why our name brand top
of the line equipment outperforms the
competition hands down at a price that can't
be beat.
Best Buy Solar Inc. only uses solar panels that have been
manufactured with solar cells that have been
cut from solid ingots of silicon.
When
shopping for solar panels, always insist on
solar panels that use solar cells that have
been cut from a solid silicon ingot.
Many of the solar panels that are on the
market that use silicon that is not cut
from solid silicon ingots may offer lower
efficiencies, poorer tolerances or lesser
warranties.
No thin film, ribbons, bows or strings attached
!
Why Do We Post Our
Prices When Our Competitors Won't ?
Click here to find out.
WEIGHT
MATTERS !
San Francisco Solar only uses heavy duty inverters with with
copper wound output transformers for high
efficiency and unbeatable durability and
performance.
Copper is
expensive but its time tested performance in
inverters is undeniable.
Before
making a buying decision, better ask how much
the other dealer's inverter weighs, then ask to
see the inverter's specification sheet to be
sure.
Many lower
cost inverters do not use a copper wound output
transformer.
How Do We Offer
Such A Competitive Price On Top Of The Line
Products ?

Find Out.
Massive Mounting Rails
We pay
more for the heavier duty, top of the line
Unirac mounting rails that are used in our
systems, but if you compare Unirac to the
competition, you'll find that Unirac uses much
more aluminum. This results in added strength
and less roof penetrations.******
The Longest Warranty In The Industry.
The solar panels that
are used in this San Francisco Solar system come with a
25 year factory warranty. This Inverter
comes with a 10 year factory warranty. The longest warranties
in the industry.

With the cost of gasoline,
natural gas and electricity going through the roof !, it is now time to start
thinking about your energy budget as a whole.
You
can't make your own gasoline and you can't make your
own natural gas, but now you CAN make your
own electricity. And the best part about it is that the fuel to make own
electricity falls from the sky everyday for free.
thousands of utility customers throughout the U.S., who were tired of the high
cost of electricity have taken advantage of the huge rebates and tax credits
which are available for the installation of solar energy systems on their homes
and businesses.
For
example, PG&E's solar
rebate program is currently
offering a cash rebate of
up to $1,900.00 per PTC
Kilowatt for the
installation of a solar
system.
There's also a 30%
Federal tax credit
($2,000.00 for residential
and no cap for
commercial).
And unlike
the old solar systems of
yesteryear that produced hot water, these new systems actually
generate electricity !
Clean reliable electricity to run lights,
TVs, air conditioning, pumps, refrigerators, computers and many other appliances, all with free energy from the Sun.
The staff here at San Francisco Solar are experts in the design and implementation of systems that qualify for
many State rebate programs. We offer free assistance in the design of your system and can even assist you with the submission of your application to
your State.
Depending on the size system you choose and the number of loads you have running during the day, it is actually possible watch the power company's meter run backwards.
Only the finest available products
Ask any alternative energy engineer,
installer or dealer and they'll all tell you the same thing. With more
than 500,000 Sunny Boy inverters sold and operating worldwide "The Sunny Boy
SB6000US' proven technology makes this unit one of the best grid
intertie inverters available on today's market!" Like a fine German crafted
sports car, the SB6000US is engineered and built in Germany, the hotbed of the
worlds finest renewable energy technology. We've taken SB6000US' unbeatable
German craftsmanship
and reliability a step further by adding the very finest made solar panels
available.
Anyone can build a
solar panel that works here on Earth, now strap that same solar panel to a
rocket that subjects it to 8 Gs of bone jarring thrust and then expose it to
high energy cosmic rays as well as temperatures that can soar as high as 300oC
and NOW you have engineered a solar panel.
That's exactly
the type of expertise that has been
perfected by Mitsubishi Electric
engineers that began when
they established their space satellite business more than 30 years ago.
Building
on that experience and utilizing the latest state of the art patented
process for manufacturing multi-crystalline silicon, Mitsubishi Electric
has achieved real world efficiencies,
tolerance levels and reliability that
was once thought to be impossible ! And
unlike other manufacturers they did it
without using toxic lead in their
panels.
Since 1974 Mitsubishi Electric is one of the oldest and
most trusted names in the industry.
Because Mitsubishi Electric
cares about the environment they use absolutely no toxic lead in the manufacture
of their solar panels. Instead they use silver electrodes which not only
protects our precious environment but also enhances efficiency which is why
Mitsubishi solar panels outperforms many of their competitors and gives you a
bigger rebate at a better price per watt. A typical conventional 3 kW solar
array uses up to 864,000 milligrams of lead ! A Mitsubishi 3 kW
array uses Zero lead.
Next we add one of the finest mounting rack
systems available today. The UniRac SolarMount system is unsurpassed in quality
and durability, rated to withstand 120 miles per hour wind speeds, UniRac
SolarMounts are engineered to last a lifetime.
Finally we top off our systems with the best price that you'll find anywhere ! In fact, we're so sure that ours is the best deal available, that we'll beat any nationally advertised price on our same, in stock, top of the line systems or your system is free.

A Solar Electric System May
Actually Increase Your Home's Value.
A study by ICF Consulting which was funded by the Housing and Urban Development Department and the EPA
concluded that energy saving measures such as solar can add $20.00 of home value
for every $1.00 in yearly energy cost savings, at a cost of 15 cents per
kilowatt hour, this system's energy savings
could amount to a
$28,785.96****
increase
in your homes value, not to mention the reduction or even elimination of your
monthly electric bill.***
Depending on the amount of
your cash rebate, Federal tax credit and the increase in your home's value, it's
possible for this system to pay for itself and then some, the very day you turn
it on.
Click here to view a reprint of ICF Consulting's report titled : Evidence Of
Rational Market Valuations For Home Energy Efficiency. Where the $20.00 increase
for every $1.00 in yearly energy costs savings is explained.
The Catalyst Grid Intertie
system is perfect for reducing your monthly electric bill. No batteries are
needed because this system utilizes a grid intertie power conditioning unit !
You'll actually become a mini power company selling power back to your utility
company while the sun is shining. If your power production exceeds your power
consumption, depending on the type of meter you have you will be able to
actually watch your meter run backwards, what a sight.

*The above system price does not include installation. The average
installation rate for the above system is
approximately $1.00 to $1.50 per Watt. This
installation estimate does not included permit fees
or unusual engineering requirements. Shipping is
extra.
*******Peak sunshine is defined as sunshine which is available during clear sky conditions between the hours of 9 AM and 3 PM. Your system's performance may vary depending on factors such as, geographic location, the angle at which your solar panels are tilted, time of year, degree of annual cloud cover, pollutants in the air, dirt and guano (bird droppings) build up on the solar modules, time of day, obstacles to sunlight such as trees and buildings, and the direction that the solar modules are pointed at.
**(Your rebate amount may vary depending on
expected system performance
and will be calculated based on equipment ratings
and installation factors, such as geographic
location, tilt, and shading.)
***The estimated increase in
home value indicated above was derived from ICF Consulting's recent study which
indicated a $20 increase per $1 savings in annual electric bills and used a per
kilowatt hour cost of 15 cents. Your home value increase results if any, may vary
significantly from this example. To determine the actual amount that your home
might appreciate after installing this solar electric system, please consult a
licensed appraiser. Information concerning ICF's findings is being presented for
informational purposes only. The decision as to whether or not to include these
finding when calculating any return on investment or
payback time is solely up to the consumer. San Francisco Solar Inc. is not in the business
