  • The primary benefits of solar energy are its significant economic advantages. By switching to solar power, businesses can substantially reduce their energy bills, leading to long-term cost savings. Additionally, solar installations often increase property value. There are also potential financial incentives like tax credits and rebates, which can offset initial installation costs. Environmentally, solar energy reduces your carbon footprint, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future. Overall, solar power is a smart investment that benefits your bottom line and the planet.

  • Not necessarily. The impact on real estate depends on the type of solar installation. For instance, PowerShingle systems offer a smart solution that doesn’t require sacrificing valuable space. This innovative system doubles as a weather-protected canopy, allowing you to utilize the space underneath for various purposes like EV charging stations, storage, or parking. Other space-efficient options include carports and roof-mounted solar, which leverage existing structures. With these solutions, you can enjoy the benefits of solar energy without losing valuable real estate.

  • PowerShingle is an exceptional performer, capable of generating over 1MW of power per 60,000 square feet. This amount of clean energy is equivalent to what a large cooler or manufacturing operation might require. With PowerShingle, you'll harness more power in less space than any other system available, maximizing efficiency and protecting your valuable assets

  • Drawing inspiration from the durable safety glass used in car windshields, PowerShingle panels are crafted using two sheets of robust glass laminated together, offering exceptional strength and resilience. The secret lies in the bi-facial solar cells that are carefully enclosed between the glass layers. PowerShingle modules are proudly manufactured right here in the United States ensuring top-notch quality and unlocks new potential tax credits.

  • PowerShingle's ingenious design allows it to effectively shed water, maintaining dryness for everything beneath it. By eliminating the need for expensive sub-roofing solutions, we reduce costs significantly while delivering a water-tight solar system. Moreover, the bifacial design of PowerShingle allows it to capture sunlight from both the front and back sides of each panel, further enhancing its energy collection capabilities.

  • Our solar structure boasts a Nucor purlin design, manufactured from more than 80% recycled domestic steel, making it an eco-friendly choice. Additionally, it can be certified Econiq™, representing Nucor's commitment to net-zero carbon steel, reinforcing our dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

  • PowerShingle stands out from traditional solar panels in several key ways. Firstly, its design integrates solar panels directly into a building's structure, serving as both a roof and a power source. This dual functionality allows for space efficiency and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, PowerShingle's unique, overlapping design ensures robust weather protection and leak prevention, unlike conventional panels. It's also manufactured entirely in the U.S., ensuring high-quality standards. With these features, PowerShingle offers a more integrated, efficient, and visually pleasing solar solution compared to traditional solar panel installations.
