A Solar System May
Actually Increase Your Home's Resale Value
According to a recent study by ICF
Consulting (funded by HUD and the EPA) energy
saving measures such as solar can add $20 of
home value for every $1 of yearly energy cost savings.
We're
One Of The Oldest Most Trusted Companies In The
Solar Electric Industry
This website was created by one of the oldest, most trusted names in the solar industry.
Take a look at our
history and you'll find that we've been
selling top of the line solar products directly
to the public far longer than Home Depot®,
BP Solar®,
Sunpower®
and GE Solar®.
In fact when it comes to experience, we've been
in the solar electric business longer than 98%
of the solar companies in business today.
Why Do We Post Our System Prices
While Our Competitors Simply Refuse To ?
While some brands only offer a 20 or less warranty. The solar panels that are used in these Discount Solar Supply
come with a 25 year manufacturer's warranty. These SolarEdge power optimizers come with a 25 year factory warranty, which are among the longest warranties in the industry.
Compare other solar panels
on the market and you'll find that most
solar panels use cells with only 2 bus bars.
A small handful use cells with three bus
bars.
Through innovative research
and development, Mitsubishi Electric has
created cells with four bus bars to maximize
cell efficiency. By reducing the distance
between bus bars, the flow of electricity
faces less resistance, increasing power
output.
HIGHER
EFFICIENCY HALF CUT CELLS
By reducing the area of each cell and connecting them in a
parallel formation, the amount of electrical current carried by
each bus bar is reduced by half. This results in a decrease of
electrical resistance within the bus bars and an increase in
overall efficiency.
PROTECTION BAR
The
protection bar on the back of the
modules enhances the structural
strength of the module and allows
the modules to withstand tough
environmental conditions like snow
and wind. The protection plate
behind the bar allows water to
drain behind the bar, and includes
cable clips to help make the
installation smoother.
Most Solar Panel
Manufacturers Offer No Protection Bar At All.
With Our
Sunsational Free Upgrade To The
New
Mitsubishi PV-MLE280HD2 280 Watt Solar
Panel, You'll Receive A Stronger Module Rated
At 5,400 Pascals.
4 LAYER
JUNCTION BOX
The
junction box is one of the most
critical parts of a module.
Mitsubishi Electric is the first
in the industry to use a 4-layer
junction box for added protection
against water, fire hazards, and
other electrical or environmental
risks.
Most Solar Panel Manufacturers
Only Offer Single Or Double Layer
Junction Boxes.
NEW DOUBLE CORROSION RESISTANT FRAME
With our free upgrade offer
to the
new
Mitsubishi PV-MLU265HD 265 watt solar
panel, you'll receive Mitsubishi's new
highly durable black aluminum frame which
has been treated
with two separate corrosion-resistant coatings
for ultimate durability under the harshest
conditions.
When It Comes To The Solar
Panel's Frame, Most Solar Panel Manufacturer's
Frames Offer Nowhere Near This Level Of
Protection.
TIGHT POWER
TOLERANCE
Mitsubishi's state-of-the-art
engineering and module production
ensures that they have one of the
tightest power tolerances in the
industry (+/- 3%). Their modules
frequently outperform their
production estimates due in part
to reducing losses from module
mismatching. In their factory,
modules with matching
characteristics are paired
together so that the actual power
value per pair actually exceeds
the nominal output power for each
carton.
The Tighter The Tolerance The
Better Your Assurance Of Getting
The Power You Paid For.
Mitsubishi Electric has
conducted substantial testing to verify the
effects of salt water exposure on their PV
modules. they found that their PV modules
maintained a sufficient level of insulation
from the corrosive effect of salt air and
ocean front environment to maintain the power
output specifications included in its
warranty. Their PV-MLU275HD2 modules are
approved for installations near salt water - a
benefit that sets their modules apart from
others in the solar industry.
MYTH:
"Solar Panel Efficiency Affects Your Return On
Investment."
FACT:
When It Comes To The Financial Return On
Your Solar Investment, Only Three Specifications Matter.
1. The Solar Panel's PTC to STC Ratio.
2. The Inverters CEC Efficiency Rating.
3.
The Solar System's Price.
Despite what
you may hear from salesmen trying to push
their "Most powerful solar panels on the
planet" a solar panel's efficiency rating has
almost no effect whatsoever on your
return on investment.
Efficiency
primarily effects the solar panel's physical
size not its power output.
In fact, the more you pay for higher solar
panel efficiency, the longer your return will
take.
You'll Probably Find Electrolytic Capacitors In That Micro Inverter
System That Your Friend Or Neighbor Just Bought,
But You Won't Find Any In A SolarEdge Power
Optimizer.
In an effort to be more competitive, many
dealers have resorted to offering thin light
duty mounting rails that require many more
roof penetrations, solar panels with poorer per Watt PTC ratings and lesser warranties and or solar panels that use cells that are not cut from a solid ingot of silicon.
Here at Discount Solar Supply
we never skimp on quality. Every system that we sell includes only the very best heavy duty components available on today's market.
And that's not just talk. In a side by side comparison we'll prove why our name brand top of the line equipment outperforms the competition hands down at a price that can't be beat.
The
Highest
240 Volt CEC Inverter Efficiency On The Market
That Offers Individual Solar Panel Performance
Monitoring For A Bigger Rebate
And A Faster Return On Your
On Investment.
The Entire Line Of SolarEdge
240 Volt Inverters Offer The Highest Available
CEC Weighted Efficiency Rating Out Of Every

Solar Panel Monitoring And Shade Mitigation.
And A Higher CEC Weighted
Efficiency Not Only Means A Bigger Cash
Rebate In Many States But Also A Faster
Return On your Solar Investment Because Of
Greater Energy Harvest.
SolarEdge Pushes Performance Right To The Edge !
No Toxic Lead Solder Or
Cadmium Over The Roof Of
Your Home
We're beginning to notice a
disturbing trend where existing manufacturers
are continuing to use toxic lead solder and several new
manufacturers are introducing the known
carcinogen Cadmium in their solar panel
construction.
Mitsubishi Electric uses no lead solder or cadmium in their solar panels.
BEWARE OF MISSING PARTS!
Were you nearly bamboozled
by the lure of a what appeared to be a low price
per watt, only to discover that the other
dealer's low price
didn't include tile hooks or flashings, or a
complete permit submission package or a
customized racking layout.
Your Solar Investment Is Only As Secure As The
Mounting System That You Choose.
That's Why We Chose IronRidge Mounting
Solutions For Our High Performance Solar
Systems.
High Strength
Aluminum And Stainless Steel
Important: If you've been provided with a quote
with no mention of the brand or model
number of the mounting system that your dealer
is using, then we can almost guaranty that the dealer is probably trying to sell you one of the many low cost, thin aluminum racks that are available on the market. This is a common practice amongst less
reputable dealers. Always demand to see a
full list of material including brands and
models and ALWAYS ask for a copy of the
mounting system's factory warranty.

Will That Other Brand Of Solar Panels
Still Be In Business 3 Years From Now To

With
Tariffs On Chinese Made Solar Panels Now
In Effect With Probably More Coming And
Solar Manufacturer Bankruptcies Being
Reported By Both Chinese And American
Companies Almost Every Month, For Only
Pennies More Per Watt, Why Not Choose A
Brand Like
Mitsubishi Electric
Which Has Been Diligently Serving The
Electronics Industry For Over 90 Years.
Now
You See It And Now You Don't
In the many years that
we've been selling solar systems, we've
seen a lot of dealers and manufacturers
come and go, leaving their customers
with defective products and no warranty
protection. We know this to be a fact
because as a factory authorized repair
center, we get dozens of calls per month
from consumers asking if we can repair
their out of warranty products.
It's great to save money
when making such a large investment, but
skimping on the brand or the performance
specifications of the solar panels that
you choose for your system is the
absolute worst way to save money on a
solar system.
Solar panels are the
workhorse of any solar system and
represent the largest portion of your
investment. So its important to choose a
manufacturer that has the financial
strength to be there to support you
throughout the entire length of your 25
year warranty. Saving a few thousand
dollars upfront, by purchasing non name
brand, poorer performing solar panels
from a small manufacturer can cost you
tens of thousands of dollars later if
you were forced to replace those solar
panels without an enforceable warranty
policy.
It's important to keep in
mind that dozens of solar panel
manufacturers from all over the world
are entering the U.S. market every
month. Talk to any salesman that
represents any of these manufacturers
and you'll find that every one of these
companies has big plans and dreams of
becoming the next huge success story in
the U.S. solar market.
Unfortunately, due to the
shear number of competitors, already in
the market with the same plans and
dreams and the money to back it up, most
of these non name brand companies won't
exist in as little as 2 to 3 years.
Are You Handing Over Your Personal Information To A
Real Solar Dealer Or A Lead Processing Mill?
Give your contact
information out to one of those solar lead
processing mills and your phone number and email
address will probably be distributed to dozens
if not hundreds of solar dealers who will
probably hound you, non-stop for the next
decade.
We've been selling high quality solar systems,
nationwide since 1997 and we promise that you'll
be so delighted with our much lower price quotes and better, brand name
performance, that in most cases, you'll be

been eyeing one of those slick new plug in
hybrid or pure electric vehicles that are
are just around the corner or the idea of
driving around on free fuel for life sounds

and nine previous attempts, Congress finally
approved a bill that not only extends the
Federal 30% tax credit for solar but also
removes the $2,000.00 cap that existed on
the previous residential tax credit. That's
an
incredible 30% with no cap for residential
and commercial installations !
And if that is isn't great enough news, how
about a $7,500.00 Federal tax credit on the
purchase of a brand new plug in hybrid or
pure electric vehicle !

With the cost of
electricity going through the roof, it is now time to start
thinking about your energy budget as a whole.
You
can't make your own gasoline and you can't make your
own natural gas, but now you CAN make your
own electricity. And the best part about it is that the fuel to make own
electricity falls from the sky everyday for free.
Thousands of utility customers throughout the U.S., who were tired of the high
cost of electricity have taken advantage of the huge rebates and tax credits
which are available for the installation of solar energy systems on their homes
and businesses.
For example, the Federal Government is offering a
30% tax credit
with absolutely no cap residential and commercial applications. And unlike
like the old solar energy systems of yesteryear that only produced hot water,
these new systems actually produce electricity ! Clean reliable electricity to
power air conditioning, lights,
TVs, pumps, refrigerators, computers, virtually any appliance with free energy from the Sun.
The staff Here at Discount Solar Supply
are experts in the design and implementation of systems that qualify for
many State rebate programs. We offer free assistance in the design of your system and can even assist you with the submission of your application to your State.
Depending on the size system you choose and the number of loads you have running during the day, it is actually possible watch the power company's meter run backwards.
"The single most
important criteria when choosing a solar panel is not price nor is it
performance. It's the financial strength of the manufacturer behind the solar
panel's guarantee."
Thousands of U.S. consumers
will make the same mistake this Summer that so many have made in the past of
trying to save a few pennies per Watt by buying non name brand solar panels
without ever looking into the manufacturer's history or even its current
financial status.
SolarEdge provides groundbreaking
distributed DC systems that maximize power
generation of residential and large-scale PV
sites, for faster return on investment.
Module manufacturers, integrators and
installers benefit from constraint-free site
design, full site space utilization, reduced
installation time and maintenance cost,
module-level monitoring, improved safety,
theft prevention, the highest CEC efficiency
rating and more.
When it comes to purchasing a solar system
for your home or business it is crucial that
you take a very close look at the solar
panels that the dealer is offering you.
After all, solar panels are the workhorse of
any solar system. Far too many consumers
simply purchase what ever it is that a
dealer happens to have available without
even looking at a specification sheet.
Performance that is lacking by just a few
percentage points or an inferior warranty
can make all the difference in the world
over the expected life of a solar panel.
With more than ten
years of experience operating our own state of the art, in-house solar repair
center, we know what technologies perform well in the real world and what
technologies do not.
Over the
years, we've seen expensive, name brand,
solar panels fail only after a few
months worth of use. We've even seen
popular U.S. made solar panels fail soon
after the manufacturer closed its doors
leaving its customers with no warranty.
This is
why it is important that you choose a
solar panel manufacturer that is well
established in the industry and has the
financial strength to be there if the
need arises. This is exactly why we
chose Mitsubishi Electric for our
Diamond series solar systems.
Anyone can build a solar panel that works here on
Earth, now strap that same solar panel to a rocket that subjects it to 8 Gs
of bone jarring thrust and then expose it to
high energy cosmic rays as well as temperatures that can soar as
high as 300oC and now you
have engineered a solar panel.
That's
exactly the type of expertise that has
been perfected by Mitsubishi Electric
engineers that began when they
established their space satellite
business more than 30 years ago.
Building
on that experience and utilizing the
latest state of the art patented process
for manufacturing multi-crystalline
silicon, Mitsubishi Electric
has achieved real world efficiencies,
tolerance levels and reliability that
was once thought to be impossible. And
unlike other manufacturers they did it
without using toxic lead solder in their
panels.
Since 1974
Mitsubishi Electric is one
of the oldest and most trusted names in
the industry.
Because Mitsubishi Electric cares about
the environment they use absolutely no
toxic lead solder in the manufacture of
their solar panels. Instead they use
silver electrodes which not only
protects our precious environment but
also enhances efficiency which is why
Mitsubishi solar panels outperforms many
of their competitors and gives you a
bigger rebate at a better price per
watt. A typical conventional 3 kW solar
array uses up to 864,000
milligrams of lead. A Mitsubishi 3
kW array uses Zero lead solder.
Thin
might be in when it comes to
waistlines and the latest HDTV sets but
when it comes to securing the bulk of
your investment to the roof of your home
you want the strongest mounting system
made out of the highest quality aircraft grade aluminum that money can buy.
The engineers at IronRidge
understand this premise and we do too so
we've added the finest rail-less mounting
system available today. IronRidge Solar Mounting Systems
are unsurpassed in quality and
durability, rated to withstand up to a
180 mile per hour wind speeds, Spider
Rax Mounting Systems are engineered to last a lifetime.
Finally we top off
our systems with the best price that you'll find anywhere. In fact, we're so
sure that ours is the best deal available, that we'll beat any nationally
advertised price on our same, in stock, top of the line systems or your system
is free.
Unlike other dealers
that will sell you a barebones system, our premium quality kits include
everything you see listed above.
The Mitsubishi Diamond
Series of Grid Intertie systems is perfect for reducing your monthly electric
bill. No batteries are needed because this system utilizes a grid intertie power
conditioning unit. You'll actually become a mini power company selling power
back to your utility company while the sun is shining. If your power production
exceeds your power consumption, depending on the type of meter you have you will
be able to actually watch your meter run backwards, what a sight !

as the system is installed according to current NEC
electrical codes. Although this may be permitted,
Discount Solar Supply
highly recommends that the
installation of this system be performed only by a
licensed electrician.
Installation of the
above listed system exposes the installer to
voltages and currents that are considered lethal and
can cause injury or even death if not installed
properly. The decision to self install any part of
this system is entirely up to the consumer's
discretion. Discount Solar Supply
assumes no
responsibility or liability for loss or damage,
whether direct, indirect, consequential or
incidental, which might arise out of the
installation or use of any of these products. Self
installation of any of the above listed products
shall be entirely at the user's risk.
Only one system per household at these discount

assessment of your site.
*The above system price does not include sales tax
or installation.
If you live in California then sales tax will apply
to the base price. The average installation rate for
the above system is approximately $1.00 to $2.00 per

**(Your rebate amount may vary depending on
expected system performance and will
be calculated based on equipment ratings and
installation factors, such as geographic location,
solar module tilt angle and azimuth angle and
shading.) Please note that many states and or
utilities will use the the AC rating of the your
system's equipment and not the DC rating of your
system's equipment when determining the amount of
your rebate. The AC rating of your equipment is
typically calculated by multiplying the PTC rated
output of your solar panels by the number of solar
panels multiplied by the CEC weighted efficiency of
your inverter, multiplied by your system's design
factor which is based on module tilt angle, azimuth
angle, shading and geographic location, multiplied
by the current per AC watt rebate amount. Please
contact your state or utility company to determine
equipment ratings and exactly how your rebate will
be calculated and what your rebate amount will be.

***Peak sunshine is defined as
sunshine which is available during clear sky
conditions between the hours of 9 AM and 3 PM. The 5
to 6 hour peak sunshine energy production examples
depicted above are meant for reference purposes
only, and are typical only for certain areas of
Southern California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.
Your site's number of peak sunshine hours and thus
your system's performance will vary depending on
factors such as, geographic location, the angle at
which your solar panels are tilted, time of year,
degree of annual cloud cover, pollutants in the air,
dirt and guano (bird droppings) build up on the
solar modules, time of day, solar module age,
obstacles to sunlight such as trees and buildings,
and the direction that the solar modules are pointed
at.

Unless you are
purchasing a battery back up grid tie
solar system that includes batteries and
a specially designed grid tie battery
back up inverter and have connected that
system to a subpanel that is isolated
from your site's main electrical panel,
then as required by law, this
solar system as well as the majority of
solar systems that are offered on this
website will deactivate in the event of
a power failure whether or not the sun
is shining. The vast majority of grid
tie solar systems that are sold in the
U.S. are designed to operate in this
way. If you require backup power during
a power failure then please ask your
sales representative to quote you on a
solar system that includes batteries and
an inverter has been specifically
designed to provide backup power during
a power outage.
