subject: Solar Water Rebates In The Usa [print this page] The United States have been seeing an increase in energy costs over the years, across most all sectors. Between 2000 and 2008, energy costs have almost doubled for energy used in transportation and industry. Other sectors, such as commercial and residential energy usage, have also seen increases. (Source) As well, prices have been increasing for specific forms of fuels. From March 2011 to March 2012, crude oil futures increased in price by $4.94/bbl, while natural gas futures saw jump of $1.801/mmBtu over the same time period. (Source) These troublesome trends make it more difficult each year to provide energy to all who require it within the country.
These pricing trends put free fuel in an attractive light. The most prevalent free fuel in the world is the sun. The sun provides power to the earth each day; the plants, animals and winds of the world all receive energy from the sun. Humans can quite easily harvest this energy for their own use once suitable infrastructure is in place. The SolarBeam Concentrator from Solartron Energy Systems is one such device. The SolarBeam is a solar hot water system and has been SRCC approved. The powerful and reliable concentrator has two-axis tracking capabilities, since it follows the sun automatically each day; it always operates at peak efficiency.
The dish is suitable for solar hot water applications from residential to commercial and industrial. It has been already installed for use in residential domestic hot water and space heating, as well as similar applications within the commercial realms. It is also capable of providing heat for industrial processes, such as textiles, brewing, bottling and chemical processing. Any system that uses heat as an input can use the SolarBeam for power. With rising energy costs in the USA, the Solar Beams payback is decreasing every year. Coupled with a variety of rebates available on both federal and state levels in the United States of America, the SolarBeam is an attractive option for energy production.
Below you will find a list of incentive and rebate programs available across the USA. This list may not be entirely comprehensive; there may be local programs available through various banks, mortgage services or municipalities. The federal tax rebates for solar hot water available offer a significant discount on the purchase and installation of such a system.
