Answers

  1. How many spars will I need?  top top of page
    The best way to answer that question is to contact us to discuss your current energy usage and requirements. Complete this form and one of our energy consultants will be in touch with you shortly.

  2. What is the cost?  top top of page
    Again, a difficult question to answer without more specific information and is dependent upon the chosen Power-Spar configuration. Typically, our goal is to provide combined thermal & PV solutions in the range of $5-$7/w (PV).

  3. What is the payback?  top top of page
    The payback is dependent upon a number of factors including:
    • your current energy usage and costs
    • the rebates available in your locale - see the DSIRE web site for a summary of US Federal and State incentives & rebates.
    In certain locations, we can demonstrate pre-tax paybacks of less than three years!

  4. Where is the hardware made?  top top of page
    They are made locally.
