"I had my solar tube skylight put in just weeks before hurricane Irma. I was pretty nervous about what might happen. Nothing...absolutely nothing. No leaks, no cracks, no damage! The guys from Wayne’s Solar told me their tubes could withstand a hurricane...and mine did! Wonderful customer service and they really make sure your house is clean before leaving. Have recommended them to other neighbors who are just as pleased!" - Mrs. Galloway

"These guys are awesome. They put in a solar pool heater for me last year. This year I had a roof leak that I thought was due to the panels on the roof. It actually ended up being caused by some nail pops from the shingles. Not only did they fix the area for me, but they went around the roof and fixed some other areas that had some potential issues. Awesome service, awesome company." - Mr. Perry

"Five ago I had Wayne's Solar install panels for my pool, a solar attic fan and a solar hot water heater. I have REDUCED my electric bill by OVER 50%. My total cost was recouped in the first 18 months." - Mr. Crouch

By the way, have you driven by any of FPL's amazing solar farms yet?  At this point, the solar energy sector employs more people than oil and gas.  Solar is the way to go and our company provides solar energy solutions from Jacksonville to Port Orange and as far as Putnam and Clay Counties, Florida.

Get Rewarded for Solar Water Heating in Florida

You can still get the 30 percent tax credit on your federal return when you install a solar powered water heater in Florida. Beaches Energy, JEA, and Clay Electric utility customers are also eligible for rebates.  Going solar pays off!

Utilizing incentives to install solar hot water systems is the smart way to upgrade your home's green design.  The consultants at Wayne's Solar will run the numbers for you and explain how going solar pays off quickly for homeowners and commercial property investors.

Did you know that one third of your electric bill is water heating costs?  That adds up, especially for facilities that use a lot of water such as medical offices.  Installing a solar water heater saves money and the environment. Solar panels on Florida homes are beautiful and functional.    

Solar hot water heaters work automatically and seamlessly, using the free and clean power of the Florida sun.  Our many happy customers confirm drastically reduced electric bills, especially when combined with photovoltaic for solar electric and solar attic fans.

Variable Speed Pool Pumps are Game Changers

What burns up the second largest amount of electricity in your home aside from the heating and air conditioning unit?  If you have a pool with an old pump, there's your answer.  We kid you not: upgrading to a new variable speed pool pump can save you as much as 90 percent of your energy costs on this necessity of owning a pool.

Wayne's Solar features the Hayward EcoStar variable speed pool pump as our chosen product in this category for energy efficiency, available for both new pools and retrofits.  As of December 11, 2011, all new pool pumps installed or replaced in Florida need to adhere to certain guidelines so not only are you getting up to code but you are saving yourself a ton of money.

Why install the Hayward EcoStar variable speed pool pump?

It is the most energy efficient pool pump on the market today, Energy Star-rated and backed by one of the best warranties in the industry.

Instead of running continuously like old fashioned single speed pumps, the EcoStar flows at perfectly timed increments customized to that particular pool's needs.

The user interface with its self-contained 24 hour clock is easily accessed and programmable.  The device's service mode makes cleaning the pool simple for you or your cleaning company.

Old pumps burn more energy than all other appliances in the home combined (aside from HVAC).  You will save money and can be assured your pool use is more environmentally friendly.

You can place the controls in a convenient location, even on a wall for ease of use.  Timer and speed functions have many different variations so your pool pump is running optimally.

This highly energy efficient pool pump can be installed by Wayne's Solar along with your solar pool heating system, salt water chlorination, and other pool automation, so your pool is assured the highest level in green technology.

If you live in Clay, Duval, Flagler, Putnam, St. Johns, Seminole, or Volusia Counties, contact Wayne's Solar today to find out more about variable speed pool pumps and to receive your free energy analysis and estimate on solar for your home or business.

Solar Codes and Regulations for Florida

Solar technology installations have their own set of rules in Florida - some for the whole state, others put forth by counties or cities.  Wayne's Solar has been in the solar energy industry of Florida since 1983 and our staff is trained in all relevant codes and our company is constantly updating its knowledge of new developments and codes pertaining to solar.

Here is what you need to know about the most important current Florida solar regulations:

Florida law forbids ordinances, deed restrictions, covenants, declarations, or similar binding agreements from prohibiting the use of solar collectors, although certain restrictions may be imposed on homeowners. Community associations are specifically prohibited from preventing the installation of solar collectors on residential rooftops. Florida law also allows easements for the purpose of maintaining exposure of a solar energy system to sunlight. Easements must be created in writing and are subject to being recorded and indexed in the same manner as any other instrument affecting the title to real property. Statutes: Fla. Stat. § 704.07, Fla. Stat. § 163.04, HB 697

Under Florida law, improved real property upon which a renewable energy source device is installed and operated is entitled to an exemption in the amount of the original cost of the device, including the installation cost. The exemption does not include the cost of replacing, removing, or improving existing property in the course of the installation. Renewable energy devices must be installed on or after January 1, 2009, to qualify for the exemption, and the exemption will not be authorized for more than 10 years. Florida Statutes: Fla. Stat. § 196.175, HB 7135

Solar energy systems have been exempt from Florida's sales and use tax since July 1, 1997. The term "solar energy system" means the equipment and requisite hardware that provide and are used for collecting, transferring, converting, storing, or using incidental solar energy for water heating, space heating and cooling, or other applications that would otherwise require the use of a conventional source of energy such as petroleum products, natural gas, manufactured gas, or electricity. In May 2005, the exemption was made permanent when HB 805 (2005) was signed into law.

And remember, if you want to take advantage of all the rebates and credits available as incentives to go solar in various parts of Florida, you are usually required to utilize the services of a licensed solar contractor such as Wayne's Solar, otherwise you are not eligible.  When considering solar power it is always advisable to meet with one of our solar consultants first (it's free!) so that we can assist you with your short and long term goals in regards to incentives and energy savings.

Wayne's Solar Relocating to Bigger and Better Space

We are happy to announce that our company has moved to a larger space just down the street from our previous location.  Wayne's Solar has relocated from 287 South Yonge Street in Ormond Beach to 357 Andrews Street, near the Performing Arts Center.  It has taken us quite a while to find the appropriate property to call our new home.  We chose this space because we needed more room but we did not want to move so far away that it would affect our walk in customers' convenience.

Our plans for the new office include state of the art solar installations to power the facility so that we can easily demonstrate these money saving solutions to the public.  We plan a festive grand opening celebration in the near future to say thanks to our community and kick off many more years of success providing solar products and green home upgrades to northeast and central Florida.  There will be walk in specials to encourage visits to the office announced soon as well.

Please contact Wayne's Solar for a free estimate on heating your pool, your hot water, or your whole house with the clean free fuel of the sun!

Increasing Property Value the Smart Way: Go Solar

Solar power isn't just for hippies anymore. Case in point: the Daytona Beach News Journal recently published this profile of a Maserati-driving, private jet-owning eye surgeon who retrofitted his entire home with solar installations by Wayne's Solar. This gentleman is the new face of the solar customer: someone who wants to be energy independent because he has an eye on the future. He is also increasing the property value of his home exponentially. Consider this:

According to statistics from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, a property's value rises $20,000 for every $1000 in reduced yearly electricity cost.

When a home goes on the market, it is much more attractive if it has solar power and therefore low (or non-existent) utility bills. Or imagine if your home is the one that actually earns credits from the energy company, basically making it an income-earning property.

Aesthetics have changed with the times. Whereas some people used to think that solar panels actually detracted from the appearance of a home, the new green thinking turns the space age looking glass panels on the roof into a design plus.

Contact Wayne's Solar if you are in Duval, Flagler, Putnam, St. Johns, Volusia Counties, or the surrounding areas of Florida to make a significant improvement to your home or business with solar energy.

What You Need to Know About Home Energy Audits

A home energy audit can be very helpful in determining the best ways to save money by increasing your home's efficiency in a variety of ways.  Some companies offer free home energy audits but the consumer must be aware that this service is sometimes followed up the same company using the audit as a way to sell their own energy-saving products.  This is not necessarily a bad thing - except that unfortunately quite often these products, such as solar hot water heaters, are extremely overpriced compared to what a solar contractor such as Wayne's Solar can install for you.

Although it is possible to find a free energy audit, you may opt to spend a few hundred dollars to have this valuable service performed with all the possible elements such as a door blower test to determine air flow and leaks, as well as infrared thermography to check the levels of insulation throughout the house.  Your auditor will perform a checklist of tasks and you will be given a written report of their findings.  It is a good idea to be present during the inspection so you can ask questions and point out specific areas of concern.  Be aware that it is almost never worth replacing all your windows for energy efficiency - the savings are just not as measurable as installing a solar hot water heating system.  

Home energy audits are a great way to get started on your road to a green home!  Just remember to shop around when you know what you need - Wayne's Solar provides complete and dependable solar energy solutions to Volusia, Flagler, Duval, St. Johns, and Putnam Counties at affordable prices.

Solar Pool Heating Gives You Three Times the Fun

According to the Florida Solar Energy Center, the addition of a solar pool heating system and use of a solar pool blanket will add a sizeable chunk of days to your recreational swimming pool use.

Here are the amount of days you can expect to keep a pool at 80 degrees or warmer:

• 107 days a year without a solar pool heater and with the typical Florida screen enclosure
• 144 days a year without a solar pool heater and without the screen enclosure
• 290 days a year with a solar pool heater, with screen enclosure, and a solar pool blanket on nights that go below 60 degrees

Solar pool heating systems for pools in St. Johns, Putnam, Duval, Flagler, and Volusia Counties are keeping pools at about 80-82 degrees during the current north Florida fall weather.  The use of a solar pool blanket (which Wayne's Solar provides free with the purchase of every solar pool heating system) will bring that expected temperature to 88-89 degrees.

Living in Florida is all about fun in the sun, swimming, and enjoying the outdoors.  Utilizing a solar pool heater makes the summer last all the longer.  Although not as effective as solar pool blankets, Wayne's Solar also provides an alternative "liquid solar blanket" that is applied to pool water on a monthly basis, for those who would prefer not to, or who cannot manage, the covering and uncovering of their pool with a blanket.  

Contact Wayne's Solar for a free estimate today - it's not too late to get extra enjoyment from your pool this year because solar pool heating systems are kept in stock for quick and easy installation.

Florida Solar Power Contractor Options from Wayne's Solar

What would you do to retrofit your existing home to utilize the amazing natural power of the sun?  Would you build a new home using only clean solar energy to power it?  Wayne's Solar offers a full range of solar solutions fully installed by knowledgeable and friendly technicians:

Florida solar photovoltaic systems - What is not to love?  The satisfaction of obtaining sustainable, free energy from the sun for your whole house electrical needs is its own reward.  Even better, extra power that you produce with your Wayne's Solar installed solar electric system can be sold back to the utility company for credit.  Additional capabilities such as smart thermostats and many choices of just the right solar electric system for you make this green option extra appealing.  

Florida solar pool heaters - Having a comfortably heated pool does not seem like much of a necessity until the early spring and late fall months in Florida.  Use the free, clean energy of the sun to heat your swimming pool using a solar hot pool heater.  Enjoy the health and fun of your pool for several extra months with the knowledge that you are not spending extra money or making the electric company richer.

Florida solar water heaters - One third of the average home spends its utility bill on hot water heating needs.  For hotels, group homes, and health care settings this cost is even higher.  Think about it: the dishwasher, clothes washing, and of course bathing take gallons and gallons of hot water on a daily basis.  Cut this expense with the right solar hot water heating system for you.

Solar pool pumps - If you have a pool then the water must be filtered using a solar pool pump system.  Pool pumps burn a lot of energy, even if they only run the required minimum amount of hours each day.  A solar pool pump runs from sun up to sun down, using nothing but free, reliable solar energy collected from panels specially placed on your roof.

Solar attic fans - Once installed you do not know they are there, yet solar attic fans give you savings back in cooling costs and extended life of your roof.  Like all of the solar products installed by Wayne's Solar to Florida homes and businesses in Putnam, St. Johns, Flagler, and Volusia Counties, solar attic fans that you purchase also come with a 30 percent tax credit come tax time.

Solar Hot Water Heaters For All Florida Climates

Nearly one third of the average home's electric bill is devoted to heating water. The cost for domestic hot water heating adds up quickly! Unfortunately the cost will not go down in the future; it's more likely to go up. Unless you make a change to solar...

Solar water heaters have been in use for 20 years and the technology is only getting better. The savings a solar hot water heating system provides will eventually pay for itself many times over. 

Solar water heaters are self-sufficient and smart - they work only when they need to. The Nuvis solar water heating system, the brand specially installed by Wayne's Solar to customers in central and north Florida, comes with many of the components already prefabricated which dramatically reduces the time necessary to install the system.

Solar hot water heaters are so efficient they do not need any routine maintenance. On the rare day when the sun does not provide all your hot water needs, the back-up electric heating element automatically turns on and ensures no loss in service.

The primary difference between solar water heaters offered by Wayne's Solar and the competition is that our hot water heating system solar water heater is an active system. The alternative passive solar water heating systems can only provide about 40-50% of your average water heating and they act more like pre-heaters rather than self sufficient water heaters.

Do you live in a region of Florida with freezing temperatures? Wayne's Solar provides three different types of solar hot water heaters for Florida customers. You can rest assured your solar heated water will be flowing effectively through your system no matter the weather that day.
