earth, the final frontier

Clean Energy, Clean Environment

We are at a cross roads in human history, we can choose to continue on as we have been, or we can make a change to improve our future and quite possibly the future for several generations to come. We are here to promote energy independence, a better environment with a higher return on investment for your hard earned money. It is what I believe in, it is why I am in the solar business.

Welcome to Sun Volt Solar

Sun Volt Solar is a specialized solar equipment seller and installer located in New York State's Hudson Valley region.

We focus on primarily Solar Thermal installations, Solar hot water and space heating. We also work with off grid battery photovoltaic and grid tie photovoltaic systems with battery back up. These are complicated systems that often require specialized design considerations.

The Solar Difference

Renewable Energy Systems:
  • Environmentally sound
  • Promotes energy independence
  • Good return on investment
    • High up front expenses
    • Little or no recurring costs
    • Inflation proof
    • Energy use is tax free

Solar power, as with all renewable energy systems, has a higher up front cost. Basically, the person who installs a renewable energy system is purchasing all of the equipment to generate their own power, which is a hard capital cost. Installation of the equipment on your house will increase the value of your house by about eighty five to ninety percent of the purchase price.

Depending on the amount of the incentive and the type of system you are installing, your pay back period will be anywhere from 4 to 13 years, longer for Photovoltaics, shorter for Solar Thermal installations. After the pay back period, you will begin to receive a return on your investment which will continue for as long as the equipment is working. Most conservative estimates put the equipment life for solar thermal installations at about 30 years and photovoltaics at about 25 years. Over that period of time, every 1 KW of installed Photovoltaics will eliminate 22.4 tons of CO2 in the atmosphere and the average solar hot water system will eliminate 60 tons of CO2

Buying power from the Utility Company

Conventional Energy Systems:
  • Environmentally poor
  • Dependent on foreign oil/gas
  • No return on investment
    • Low up front expenses
    • Moderate recurring costs
    • Prone to inflation
    • Energy use is taxable

When you purchase power from the electric company, you are are not purchasing any equipment, you are merely paying for the power that they generate. Beyond the installation and maintenance of the standard electrical system, there are no equipment costs associated with this. Because of this, the up front costs are low. This does not increase the value of your house. In fact, that money is gone forever, there is no pay back period, there is no return on investment.
