Opportunities Abound for Solar Technologies with Certified Solutions from Durango-based SolarWorx™

Nov. 19, 2008 - PRLog -- Durango-based SolarWorx™ is a locally owned and operated solar provider offering certified solar solutions for commercial and residential customers in the Four Corners region.
SolarWorx offers modern grid-tied systems that automatically integrate solar power with the electric utility grid eliminating the expense and maintenance of batteries. Coupled with abundant federal tax credits and local incentives recently announced from La Plata Electric Association (LPEA), solar energy has never been more affordable.
LPEA offers a Renewable Generation Rebate to residential or commercial customers on approved systems like those available from Durango-based SolarWorx. The LPEA rebate is $2 per watt for the total installed PV system up to $3000. Similarly, tax legislation passed on Oct. 3rd grants an eight-year extension of federal tax credits for solar energy, which offers a credit worth 30% of the system cost for PV and solar thermal systems.
SolarWorx is one of the first dozen or so firms nationwide to have a North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) certified solar thermal technician on staff, as well as holding the NABCEP photovoltaic (PV) certification, thus lending credibility to the firm and making it a natural choice for LPEA’s criterion for approved systems. As a result, SolarWorx was selected by LPEA as the installer for the first solar project at a school in La Plata County at Bayfield Middle School this year.
SolarWorx utilizes various mounting options that allow modules to integrate aesthetically with any rooftop. Ground mounted systems are popular in rural and commercial applications, plus options are available for solar carports and awnings when excessive shading or the positioning of the building in relation to the sun hinders rooftop installations. SolarWorx also provides assistance to prospective clients applying for solar tax credits and rebates, as well as consulting services.
