Hello, We had extensive problems with the bog, but I’m now hoping we’re back on line. Let us begin.

Hello, We’ve had some virus problems with this site, but all seems to be well now.  Sorry for the delays.

Can you tell the latest on the Federal and
State tax credits for solar and/or energy
installation products? Thanks

I read that the price of phtovoltaics panels
has been reduced because of more
manufacturing capabilities. What has happened
to the panel costs?

What’s the best insulation to use in new construction?

What are the issues and items I can do to save energy, and money, on my water system in my house? Do pipe wraps and hot water heater “blankets” really make a difference?

I understand that evacuated hot water solar tubes are “more” efficient than other flat panel systems.  They seem fragile and vulnerable to breakage and are they really worth the extra cost?

Planning on putting a solar panel on the roof of our boat house to charge batteries for an electric engine. It is a 24 volt system. Are 4 six volts batteries better than 2 twelve volt batteries?

If I wanted to boost the 24 volt reserve could I use double the batteries?

What is the configuration of serial vs parallel?

Can you tie a new solar hotwater system into your existing water system?  Can I use my existing hot water tank as the storage for the solar hot water I create?
