Solar Products

Photovoltaic Panels (PV panels) are an essential element to becoming energy independent.  Our Solar Energy systems are reliable, dependable, low maintenance, and cost-effective. We provide solar energy kits, renewable energy installations, and custom designed solar energy systems. Federal Tax Credits Extended and Improved!The Federal government has extended Federal Tax Credits on Solar Energy Systems for another eight years.  In addition, the cap on home-owner installation has been lifted.  All Solar Energy Installations will be eligible for a 30 percent Tax Credit.  Solar Panels and InvertersWe have put together highly-recommended solar energy kits for your home or business.  We have chosen our solar energy kits based on their high quality modules and inverters. Grid-Tie System PackagesGrid-Tie Systems contain high quality, UL listed components. Every component needed for a successful installation is included in the package. In addition to solar panel modules and inverters, each package includes SolarMount flush PV racks, and necessary hardware and electrical components. The installer supplies the wiring from the solar array to the main panel and lag bolts. Packages also include complete documentation, an installation guide and operation/owner’s manual.Custom Designed Solar Energy SystemsIn the name of simplicity and clarity we have boiled down the huge array of solar energy systems to a few kits that will fit 90 percent customer needs.  We are happy to custom design a solar energy system for your specific needs.Please call if you have questions or want a quote:  231-668-6361  Or email us at Sales@Eco-BuildingProducts.com.Solar Energy EfficiencyPlease note, a 200W panel will not necessarily generate 200W even at full capacity. Energy loss in transmission lines and through inverting DC to AC may decrease your systems efficiency.  For more information on how this may affect your system, please call us.  Eco-Building Products: 231-668-6361.Order Online or by the PhoneCall anytime to place an order or get an estimate.  Eco-Building Products: 231-668-6361  We look forward to helping you with your renewable energy system!

Solar Hot Water SolutionOffset 65 Percent of Your Energy Costs 65 percent of the average homes energy is consumed for heating/cooling. Harvesting the sun’s energy for heat is the most efficient use of solar energy.Vacuum-sealed glass tubes capture the sun’s solar energy converting it directly to hot water for residential and commercial use. The vacuum tubes release no heat and quickly and efficiently absorb solar energy.Solar Hot Water Heating with Flat-Plate Panels Flat plate panel collectors combine square foot efficiency with simplicity of design. The solar hot water panel collector is designed with a traditional look and can easily fit with contemporary building design.Solar Hot Water Quotes, Estimates, and Shipping If you are interested in a quote, estimate, or shipping costs on our Solar Thermal please email or call us.

The average person will use 15-30 gallons of hot water each day. Based on these estimates, a 2-person system will typically produce 40-50 gallons of hot water during peak performance. *For specific performance in BTUs produced please see the SRCC rating for each product.Recommended Solar Hot Water Systems These recommendations are based upon average hot water use. If you usage is different, please call or email us for recommendations and estimates. Systems are based on peak performance (typically occurring during your summer months).Two-person solar hot water systems We recommend either a 20-tube Evacuated Tube Array or a two-panel (4' x 6'6" each) flat plate hot water heater.Three- and four-person solar hot water systems We recommend a 30- or 40-tube Evacuated Tube Array, or a three-panel (4' x 6'6" each) flat plate hot water heating system.Four or more person solar hot water systems We recommend a 60-tube Evacuated Tube Array, or a three-panel (4' x 8' each) flat plate hot water heating system.Light Commercial or heat assist solar hot water systems Our 60-tube or 80-tube Evacuated Tube Array is a performance juggernaut and is highly recommended for heavy-use light commercial applications. Our four-panel (4' x 8' each) flat plate collectors combines good performance and a great price. Commercial renewable energy systems have no cap on federal tax rebates.
