"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.  

If you have a pool, our solar pool heating and variable speed pool pumps save you even more.  Wayne's Solar has been installing technology to harness the energy of the sun in Florida since 1983.  Contact us to find out more about rebates, credits, and benefits of solar hot water heaters.

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.

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.

Why choose a salt water pool over traditional chlorine?

Salinated (saline = salted water) swimming pools have become very popular in Florida. Perhaps inhabitants of the Sunshine State love our surrounding natural aquatics so much that we demand something akin to it in our backyard pools. It seems that this is true, and with good reason - salt water pools just feel better.

Keep in mind that salinated pools do produce chlorine, but in a different way and in much lower levels. Salinated pools utilize a salt chlorine generator, whereas the traditional pool system has harsh chlorine added directly to the water. Because of the way a salt system functions, there are no chloramines which are an undesirable byproduct of typical chlorination.

Salt water pools provide the following benefits over traditional chlorinated pools:

• Maintenance of a salinated pool does not require toxic chemicals to be bought, stored, or handled. 
• Salt water pools do not provoke the scent of chlorine bleach in your nose as you swim. Some people report allergic reactions to chlorine but not to salt. 
• Saline pools are easier on the eyes and do not cause the redness or stinging that chlorine is known for. 
• In general salt water pools require less manual maintenance. 
• The water simply feels better on the skin and hair in a salinated pool - it is less drying and you feel cleaner after you swim than with chlorine. 
• Some people believe they float in salt water better. 
• A salt water pool is much clearer than a traditional chlorinated pool. 
• Swimsuits fade and break down quickly in a chlorine pool. 
• Salt water systems cost less overall to run. 
• Traditional chlorine pools can contain copper which is known to turn blonde hair green. 
• Salt does not evaporate from a pool like chlorine does, and salt recycles itself. 

Wayne's Solar of central Florida is in the business of heating pools with the natural power of the sun. In addition, they are also your go-to source for salt water pool systems in Duval, Putnam, St. Johns, Flagler, and Clay, Volusia counties. Wayne's Solar will explain to you in depth how a salt chlorine generator works and what your many options are for building a new salinated pool or retrofitting an existing one.
