Services
Solar Electricity
Our solar electric systems convert sunlight into clean, renewable energy for residential and commercial properties. Grid-tied systems reduce utility bills through net metering while battery backups provide power during outages. With proper system sizing and government incentives, homeowners can achieve 100% energy offset and significant long-term savings.
Solar Pool Heating
Sunstar solar pool heating systems extend swimming seasons using durable polypropylene panels. Our installations integrate with existing filtration systems to warm pool water efficiently. With proper sizing and optional pool covers, systems typically pay for themselves within 2-4 years through reduced gas heating costs.
Solar Hot Water
Solar thermal systems provide 70-95% of household hot water needs using solar collectors and storage tanks. Active systems with pumps and passive systems both reduce energy consumption for domestic use, radiant floor heating, or HVAC integration. Federal tax credits and long-term savings make this a cost-effective solution.
System Repair
We diagnose and repair all brands of solar electric, pool heating, and hot water systems. Our technicians ensure code compliance, system efficiency, and optimal performance. Services include panel inspections, inverter replacements, and thermal system maintenance for both residential and commercial installations.
Installation
Our licensed professionals handle complete solar system installations from initial design to final permitting. We analyze energy usage patterns, roof conditions, and local climate factors to create customized solutions. Services include grid-tied systems, off-grid configurations, and system expansions for evolving energy needs.
