SIEMENS SOLAR INTRODUCES EARTHSAFE PRE-ENGINEERED SOLAR ENERGY KITS FOR HOMES
Simplifies Design and Installation of Cost-Effective Solar Systems
CAMARILLO, Calif., August 16, 1999 – Siemens Solar, the world's leading manufacturer of solar photovoltaic cells and modules, is now offering pre-engineered solar kits that enable homeowners to harness the power of the sun in a simplified, cost-effective way. The earthsafe line of products provide utility-quality power and allow consumers to take advantage of net metering savings on their utility bills (where those programs are offered.)
``These systems bring new value to the marketplace, because we have pre-engineered the systems to fit real-world environments," said Chet Farris, Chief Operating Officer, Siemens Solar Industries. ``In the past, solar electric systems were uniquely designed for specific installations. This naturally increased installation costs. With earthsafe kits, electrical contractors can profitably sell and develop new installations."
The systems each include solar panels as well as electronics kits configured for 300, 600, 900, 1500 or 2400 Watts. Suggested installed pricing starts at $3,395 for the minimum (300 Watt) configuration, making earthsafe kits among the lowest cost in the industry.
For information about earthsafe products, customers can call (800) 947-6527 or go to www.siemenssolar.com/earthsafe_residential.html.
