If you've been thinking about eliminating your electric bill with a grid tie solar system for your home or business,
it's now time to celebrate ! After nearly a
year of debates and nine previous attempts, Congress
finally approved a bill that not only
extends the Federal 30% tax credit for solar
but also removes the $2,000.00 cap that
existed on the previous residential tax
credit. That's an
incredible 30% with no cap for residential
and commercial installations !
Demand for SolarEdge PV Power Optimizers
Increases in Germany
A Solar System May
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.
While some brands only offer a 20 or less warranty. The solar panels that are used in these Discount Solar Supply
come with a 25 year manufacturer's warranty. These SolarEdge power optimizers come with a 25 year factory warranty, which are among the longest warranties in the industry.
Silfab's state-of-the-art
engineering and module production
ensures that they have one of the
tightest power tolerances in the
industry (+/- 3%). Their modules
frequently outperform their
production estimates due in part
to reducing losses from module
mismatching. In their factory,
modules with matching
characteristics are paired
together so that the actual power
value per pair actually exceeds
the nominal output power for each
carton.
The Tighter The Tolerance The
Better Your Assurance Of Getting
The Power You Paid For.
These solar panels use 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 solar cells that are not cut
from solid silicon ingots may offer far lower
efficiencies, poorer tolerances or lesser warranties.
NO
ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS ON YOUR HOT ROOF
You'll Probably Find Electrolytic Capacitors In That Micro Inverter
System That Your Friend Or Neighbor Just Bought,
But You Won't Find Any In A SolarEdge Power
Optimizer.
In an effort to be more competitive, many
dealers have resorted to offering thin light
duty mounting rails that require many more
roof penetrations, solar panels with poorer per Watt PTC ratings and lesser warranties and or solar panels that use cells that are not cut from a solid ingot of silicon.
Here at Discount Solar Supply
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.

Adding SolarEdge's Revolutionary Performance Boosting Technology To
Your Solar System Is Like Adding A Supercharger To Each And Every
One Of Your Solar Modules.
This Is Not Your Neighbor's Micro
Inverter Or String Inverter System........ It's So Much Better !
"The single most
important criteria when choosing a solar panel is not price nor is it
performance. It's the financial strength of the manufacturer behind the solar
panel's guarantee."
Thousands of U.S. consumers
will make the same mistake this Summer that so many have made in the past of
trying to save a few pennies per Watt by buying non name brand solar panels
without ever looking into the manufacturer's history or even its current
financial status.
Only The Finest Available Products
SolarEdge provides groundbreaking
distributed DC systems that maximize power
generation of residential and large-scale PV
sites, for faster return on investment.
Module manufacturers, integrators and
installers benefit from constraint-free site
design, full site space utilization, reduced
installation time and maintenance cost,
module-level monitoring, improved safety,
theft prevention, the highest CEC efficiency
rating and more.
When it comes to purchasing a solar system
for your home or business it is crucial that
you take a very close look at the solar
panels that the dealer is offering you.
After all, solar panels are the workhorse of
any solar system. Far too many consumers
simply purchase what ever it is that a
dealer happens to have available without
even looking at a specification sheet.
Performance that is lacking by just a few
percentage points or an inferior warranty
can make all the difference in the world
over the expected life of a solar panel.
With more than ten
years of experience operating our own state of the art, in-house solar repair
center, we know what technologies perform well in the real world and what
technologies do not.
Over the
years, we've seen expensive, name brand,
solar panels fail only after a few
months worth of use. We've even seen
popular, name brand solar panels fail soon
after the manufacturer closed its doors
leaving its customers with no warranty.
This is
why it is important that you choose a
solar panel manufacturer that is well
established in the industry and has the
financial strength to be there if the
need arises. This is exactly why we
chose Silfab North American Made solar
modules for our
Liberty series solar systems.
Thin might be in when it comes to
waistlines and the latest HDTV sets but
when it comes to securing the bulk of
your investment to the roof of your home
you want the strongest mounting system
made out of the highest quality
aircraft grade aluminum that money
can buy.
The engineers at IronRidge
understand this premise and we do too so
we've added the finest mounting rack
systems available today. IronRidge Solar
Mounting Systems
are unsurpassed in quality and
durability, rated to withstand up to a
134 miles per hour wind speeds and
includes a 15 year warranty. IronRidge
Solar Mounting Systems 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.
Unlike other dealers
that will sell you a barebones system, our premium quality kits include
everything you see listed above.
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.
The Silfab Liberty Series
of Grid Intertie systems are perfect for reducing your monthly electric
bill and providing you with emergency power. 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 !

IMPORTANT NOTICES
Many states as well as
local municipalities permit the home owner to
perform a self installation of this system as long
as the system is installed according to current NEC
electrical codes. Although this may be permitted,
Discount Solar Supply highly recommends that
the installation of this system be performed only by
a licensed electrician.
Installation of the
above listed system exposes the installer to
voltages and currents that are considered lethal and
can cause injury or even death if not installed
properly. The decision to self install any part of
this system is entirely up to the consumer's
discretion. Discount Solar Supply assumes no responsibility or liability
for loss or damage, whether direct, indirect,
consequential or incidental, which might arise out
of the installation or use of any of these products.
Self installation of any of the above listed
products shall be entirely at the user's risk.
Only one system per household at these discount
prices. No layaways or rain checks permitted. Sale
may end without notice.
This is a limited time offer. No layaways or
rain checks. Only one system per household, person or
business at this specially discounted price. Sorry
no exceptions.
System only includes the items that are listed
above. System does not include lag bolts, bare
copper grounding wire or AC circuit breakers.
These inexpensive items will differ from
installation to installation and should be supplied
by the installation contractor once he or she has
determined your specific requirements based on the
assessment of your site.
*The above system price does not include sales tax
or installation.
If you live in California then sales tax will apply
to the base price. The average installation rate for
the above system is approximately $1.00 to $2.00 per
Watt. This installation estimate does not included
permit fees or unusual engineering requirements. Tax
credit amounts are approximations. Please see your
tax preparer to make sure that you qualify for this
tax credit in the manner in which it has been
presented here. Shipping is extra.
**(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, solar module tilt angle and azimuth angle and shading.)
Please note that many states and or utilities will
use the the AC rating of the your system's equipment
and not the DC rating of your system's equipment
when determining the amount of your rebate. The AC
rating of your equipment is typically calculated by
multiplying the PTC rated output of your solar
panels by the number of solar panels multiplied by
the CEC weighted efficiency of your inverter,
multiplied by your system's design factor which is
based on module tilt angle, azimuth angle, shading
and geographic location, multiplied by the current
per AC watt rebate amount. Please contact your state
or utility company to determine equipment ratings
and exactly how your rebate will be calculated and
what your rebate amount will be. In the
event that you have paid Discount Solar Supply a deposit or have
paid in full for the purchase of a grid
tie solar system and you are unable to
secure an approval on your rebate
reservation from your state or utility
company’s rebate administrator, we
hereby agree to issue you a full refund
of your deposit or a full refund of the
full payment that you made to us toward
the purchase of your solar system so
long as the product has not been shipped
to you. In the event that you have paid
in full and your solar system’s
components have already been shipped to
you and you are unable to secure an
approval of your rebate reservation from
your utility company’s rebate
administrator, Discount Solar Supply hereby agrees to issue you a full
refund of the full payment minus
shipping costs, upon the return of the
solar system’s unused, undamaged
equipment so long as said equipment is
returned to our warehouse within 30 days
of its delivery to your site. Please
note that as a courtesy, Discount Solar Supply offers free assistance
to its customers in filling out their
rebate applications but assumes no
liability or responsibility for securing
a rebate for you nor any liability or
responsibility for securing any specific
rebate amount. For this reason Discount Solar Supply highly recommends that
you wait until you have received your
rebate reservation confirmation before
taking delivery of your solar system’s
components. If you have paid in full for
your solar system and have not yet
received an approval for your rebate
reservation, Discount Solar Supply
will store your solar system for you at no charge until you have received your
rebate reservation approval.

The amount of
backside power boost from these bifacial
(double sided) solar panels depends on
the reflectivity of the roof's or
ground's surface. Lighter colored
surfaces will reflect more light on to
the backside of these modules and will
create more boost. Darker colored
surfaces will reflect less light on to
the back side of these modules and will
create less boost. Discount Solar Supply
makes no claim as to the amount of
energy boost may your roof's surface may
supply.
