If you're financially savvy and eco-conscious, you’ve probably considered your options to go solar or buy an electric vehicle (EV). You’re on to something good with both. Home solar systems and EVs go together like cookies and milk! Charging an EV with the power of the sun can help save money and the planet in a variety of ways.

Grand Marais Mayor Jay Arrowsmith DeCoux and the Grand Marais Public Utilities Commission (PUC) worked with All Energy Solar to install Grand Marais’s first solar electric system recently. Owners of Art House Bed and Breakfast, Arrowsmith DeCoux and his family—wife Rose and son Ennis—are very involved in the community and they view the installation as a community statement (and basically the right thing to do).

Price is no longer the number one motivator for installing solar. A recent study conducted by researchers at Yale and the University of Connecticut found that taking the leap into solar energy has much more to do with whether your neighbors have done the same.

Solar solutions have long been seen as a large-scale source of energy, accessible only to the big-name corporations. But the shift is coming; solar is becoming more affordable and more widespread.

Celebrate with us the LARGEST multi-tenant solar installation ever built in the Midwest on Wednesday, September 10th, from 1:00-3:00PM at Kirkwood Court Campus View Apartments, Cedar Rapids, Iowa!

I'm Sue Owen, the Communications Intern here at All Energy Solar. Because I'll return to school this fall and won't be able to continue here, I wanted to write a letter to Congress that I hope will express how over the course of this summer internship, I have been wholly persuaded that solar power is the best way for the country to consume energy. In the letter, I ask Congress to enact a hefty tax on carbon.  Join me in writing Congress in favor of climate action, and as a collective force we can make the changes necessary to preserve our environment. What an inspiring and educational internship this has been!

Imagine if all the energy utilities in the world got rid of their fossil fuel powered cars, and replaced them with electric hybrid cars. They would save huge amounts on fuel costs and prevent countless pounds of carbon dioxide from infiltrating the polluted environment. It just so happens that Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and other utilities have begun a revolution in commercial transportation. PG&E’s electric hybrid drive train Class 5 work trucks save fuel and have batteries that can be used to power the grid when electricity outages occur.

With the increasing affordability of solar panels and numerous other incentives to go solar, property owners across the states can no longer avoid solar power as an option for their electricity generation. It’s amazing that we’ve been running on coal power for the past century instead of the natural, inexhaustible resources of the earth. Solar is no longer a trend or an experiment; it is the cleanest, most practical source of energy out there. Today, there are so many reasons to commit to going solar, and here are the top 5.

Many business owners who look to solar see an opportunity to save money on their energy costs. Every energy bill is a reminder of the volatile rates of electricity, but not with solar power.

In fact, our financing options allow businesses to install solar for no money and simply start paying for solar energy at a lower rate.
