Local Cape Fear Solar Systems, LLC Launches Solar Portal For Cape Fear Residents
WILMINGTON, NC, April 6, 2010 — Cape Fear Solar Systems, LLC, a turn-key solar installation provider, launched a new web site www.CapeFearSolarSystems.com that provides Southeastern North Carolina property owners with information from the solar industry in order to raise public awareness regarding the many benefits of alternative energy and its place in our community.
Overall demand for solar across the country is dramatically increasing and the Cape Fear region is no exception. Whether for a home or business, people go solar for a variety of reasons: decrease or eliminate their energy bill, add value to their property, become more energy independent, and have a positive impact on the environment. A recent study performed by The SCHOTT Solar Barometer shows that More Than Nine Out of 10 Americans Want Solar Now. However, many consumers are not familiar with how solar systems work. Cape Fear Solar Systems‘ web site intends to bring fresh information from the solar industry to property owners looking to produce renewable energy for their homes and businesses.
„The instability in the energy market, to
gether with costs outpacing inflation, makes solar a highly attractive investment,” says John P. Donoghue, President of Cape Fear Solar Systems, LLC. „The solar market is a relatively new, rapidly evolving field, and customers must be given correct and realistic information,” he continues. „Homeowners are often misled by non-factual information and inaccurate calculations. Solar has many benefits to offer, but it is important to work closely with property owners to design systems for their particular needs in order to maximize the benefit. We want to demonstrate to people that solar is easily accessible, affordable and an attractive addition to their home or business,” Mr. Donoghue states.
Solar not only reduces energy costs, it is also an attractive investment. Solar is one of the few items purchased for a home that actually pays for itself. The initial investment comes with the next 25 years worth of electricity production. “Just imagine buying a car with the next 25 years worth of fuel,” Mr. Donoghue emphasizes, “solar has the everlasting fuel from the sun.”
“Installing solar was one of the best decisions my family made moving down to Wilmington,” explains Mr. Keenan, a home owner with a recently installed domestic hot water solar system. „Having two teenage children, our electric bill was steadily increasing”, adds his wife Sharon: „my husband and I were for many years interested in alternative energy and moving down to this area, known for its sunny days, convinced us to get solar.” Taking advantage of solar power helped the Keenans reduce their electric bill and by becoming a green energy producer, they were not only able to increase the value of their home, but to have a positive environmental impact on the community.
With current tax incentives significantly reducing the cost of a solar installation, the time to go solar has never been better. Green energy production is ultimately something that all residents of the Cape Fear region will profit from and enjoy.
