The Independence people get from Renewable Energy means they do not have to rely on any utilities to live a comfortable life - living "off the Grid" without commercial power. There are actually entire communities that have no electric lines and no gas lines. These people brag about being able to see the stars at night and not the street lights.

Commercially, Hot Watt Solar recommends the following sequence of installations - Solar Hot Water, Solar Thermal, and then PV (Solar Electric - PhotoVoltaic). This is based upon the length of payback of each system from shortest to longest. All of our systems are available for Federal and most State tax incentives, which can offset the cost of the system by 30% or more.
