With the federal tax credit, available state rebates, and a five year accelerated
depreciation of the system value, the return on investment of a large solar power system
has never been better. Typical ROI's are 5-8 years when systems are purchased directly
from Solar Electric Supply and self-installed. With our financial analysis tools we can
help determine the ROI of a solar power system on your business.

Stabilize your power costs: With utility rates rising every year, a solar
power system can stabilize your power costs. After the system has paid for
itself, you are producing free power, lowering the costs of the remaining
power you buy from the utility.
Green Marketing: There's no better way to show your customers that your
business cares about the planet than by installing a grid tie solar system.
Many customers the fact that their business is solar powered in all their
marketing literature and communications. You can talk about your business
minimizing it's carbon footprint. If your business is not too power hungry,
you can actually become carbon neutral with a solar power system that
meets 100%.
Time for a new roof? There's no better time to install a solar power system
than when your are putting on a new roof. You can drastically lower the cost
of your system by using your roofing contractor to install the solar array
supports on your underlying building structure. They will seal the supports
and warranty their installation for any leaking. Then it's easy to install the
array on the supports with your facilities staff or a local electrician.

Many states have rebates to further help subsidize the
cost of the solar photovoltaic system. With solar panel
warranties of 25 years, solar arrays will stabilize your
power costs over that period. Plus, they generate the

incoming direct normal insulation

the temperatures required to
efficiently convert heat to work.
This requires that the dish track

In a molten-salt solar power tower, liquid salt at
290ºC (554ºF) is pumped from a „cold‟ storage tank
through the receiver where it is heated to 565ºC
(1,049ºF) and then on to a „hot‟ tank for storage.
Hot salt is pumped to a steam generating system that
produces superheated steam for a conventional
Ranking-cycle turbine/generator system. The steam
generator, the salt is returned to the cold tank where
it is stored and eventually reheated in the receiver.
Storage tanks can be designed with sufficient
capacity to power a turbine at full output for up to
13 hours.
