Celebrating 30 Years in the Solar Florida Business

In 1983, Wayne Phillips began installing solar thermal systems to heat Volusia County, Florida pools and the Wayne's Solar company was born.  30 years later, Wayne's Solar is serving the solar needs of homes and businesses all over a five county area including Jacksonville, Port Orange, Ormond Beach, Daytona, Palm Coast, and St. Augustine.  Solar installations provided by Wayne's currently include:

• Solar electric systems 
• Solar water heaters 
• Solar pool heating systems 
• Solar pool heat pumps 
• Swimming pool salt/chlorine generation systems 
• Solar attic fans/garage ventilation systems 
• Sun tunnel tubular skylights 
• Service and repair for every solar panel on the market

There have been many developments over the past three decades in regards to solar power, and green energy in general. As the world has recognized its dependence on fossil fuels, alternative energy sources have enjoyed increased popularity.  Many governments and utility companies are offering incentives to go solar, and judging by the interest shown by the media and the public, solar has gone mainstream.

We will be celebrating the past 30 years of solar with related blog posts throughout 2013.  Happy Anniversary Wayne's Solar!

Home Energy Management Systems Put You in Control

If you are looking for ways to increase your home's energy efficiency or test the energy savings of your solar systems, you might consider the addition of an energy management device, which can be easy to install and a breeze to access through your computer's internet. Technology like this lets you know where energy is being wasted, enabling you to then make changes that can save you money on your utility bill.

Saving money through monitoring your electricity use is one way to benefit from the installation of a home energy management system. An extra bonus for our solar customers is that it may also monitor how much power is being produced by a photovoltaic solar electric system! This means you will know in both kilowatts and dollars the amount of power you are getting from the sun, as well as how much you are sending back to the grid.

Looking for a way to track your home energy usage and solar power production in Central and Northeast Florida? Wayne's Solar is headquartered in Ormond Beach and serves the sun-powered energy needs of the surrounding areas including Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Palm Coast, Port Orange, and Daytona.
