OUR FOCUS
Arise Solar is dedicated to educating the general public in the benefits of renewable energy both environmentally (for all of us) and individually (for you). While we are in the business of designing and selling solar electric systems, it is our belief that a system should be sized in conjunction with other lower cost energy efficiency measures to provide the largest reduction in a homes “energy footprint” at the most affordable price possible.
In other words, it is normally better to first implement other energy reduction measures such as compact florescent light bulbs, high efficiency HVAC systems, vinyl windows, etc., which cost less, giving you a better “bang for your buck”, then install a smaller solar electric system to make up the need savings. After all, solar electric systems are expensive. So why spend a lot of money when you can spend less and accomplish the same task?
