Solar Energy Panel at Naples Community Hospital

In: Education, Fafco Solar, Opinion
With: 0 Comments

Tonight I was invited to part of a panel before a public group at the Naples Community Hospital. I guess you could call it a Solar Panel. Here is the text of my brief speech: “I would like to address the most common misconception about solar energy: Solar energy is expensive and cannot survive without government and utility incentives. The most common solar product installed in Southwest Florida is not solar electric or solar water heating for the home; it’s solar pool heating.

The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline just rose to $3.63 in Southwest Florida. That’s a 15 cent rise over last week’s average. Would people tolerate this if electricity costs were as unpredictable? No way! How much would you pay if your local gas station was offering a guaranteed price for gasoline for the next 25 years, provided you were willing to pay for a certain amount of your expected usage up front? Let’s just say you wanted to buy enough gas now to drive 10,000 miles per year for 25 years. Let’s also assume that you will average 35 miles per gallonRead More →

Patriot Stor-All, a Bonita Springs storage facility, is installing 76kW of solar power by Fafco Solar. The solar electric system will provide power to tenants in three of the ten buildings on the property, with plans for future expansion to other buildings. The system features 313 solar panels by Canadian Solar, Enphase microinverters, Unirac Solarmount rails, and EcoFasten Solar mounting brackets on a new TPO roof membrane. Storage facilities present a huge opportunity for owners who can harvest energy from otherwise wasted roof space and generate additional revenue to maximize productivity of property. Long-term real estate investments in storage facilities are compatible with the safe,Read More →
