Solar Electric Power Generation
Residential PV Systems
APS designs and installs electricity generation (PV) systems for homes, apartment buildings, barns, garages, sheds, etc. We utilize the most advanced solar products on the market which allows us to provide the highest quality systems at the most desirable rates. The federal government offers various tax credits and financial incentives towards the purchase of these systems.

| Installing a solar system during new home construction enables the builder to provide an energy efficient home at minimal cost to the owner. PV systems may also qualify a home for an EPA Five Star Home energy-efficiency mortgage or LEED certification.
Solar systems are also excellent for the reduction of power costs to both the elderly and government-funded housing projects. Between 20% to 100% of an electric bill can be eliminated using these systems.
Some utility companies have net metering programs, which further enhance the economics of PV. Net metering means that when a PV system generates more electricity than needed, the excess goes to the utility grid and the meter spins backwards. This excess power can then be sold to the utility or traded for future credit on an individual’s utility bill.

Solar Power Electrical Generation General Pricing
The following chart identifies the approximate average value of KWh / month that our typical packaged solar system will offset in comparison to the average cost of each system. This is only a sample of the available systems that can be expanded. Your time to payback is dependent on your current cost per KWh. These numbers are before that applicable tax credits. Residential customers qualify for a 30% tax credit up to $2,000.
