1. FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE
A CLEAN ENERGY, A CLEAN EARTH & AN UNPOLLUTED
ENVIRONMENT ARE THE BEST GIFTS WE COULD OFFER OUR
CHILDREN AND THEIR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME.
2. WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SWITCHING TO
SOLAR POWER?
3. 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD GO
SOLAR
• 1.Reduce/Eliminate your electricity Bill By up-to100%.
• 2.Reduce/Prevent pollution (Carbon Dioxide, Fossil Fuel)
• Since 85% of our US power comes from burning fossil fuel, we need to
find other renewable ways to produce energy.
• 3.Independece: lock in your rate Immune from utility rate
increases.
• 4.Profitable Investment Has a Guaranteed Payback.
• 5.Increase in your home value.
4. 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD GO
SOLAR
• 6. Net Metering Sell back the extra energy your system will
produce to the utility company for dollar value credits, LIMITED
OFFER.
• 7. Security/ Reliability towards power outage.
• 8. May receive great incentives from the utility companies such
as rebates.
• 9. Fed Tax Credit of 30% which is deductible at the end of the
year.
• 10. Last but not least which makes it all great, is the fact that
you won’t pay anything off your pocket ZERO
6. HOW DOES SOLAR WORK?
THE SUN: Everyday the sun shines more that 3 Trillion watts
of energy on the earth If we had solar panels that covers 191,817
sq. miles of land, which is equivalent to the size of Spain,
subsequently we could power up the whole world.
SOLAR PANELS: Harvest the energy of the sun and convert it
into clean electricity to power our homes, businesses & lifestyles.
Even on a cloudy day, the panels can still produce electricity, but the
more sunlight, the more electricity solar panels can generate.
Light from the sun stimulates electrons on a solar panel Which then they
create direct current electricity (DC).
Solar electricity travels from your roof into a device called an INVERTER,
which converts the DC into usable ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) before
sending it to the CIRCUIT BREAKER of your building.
Your home uses that electricity to power the electronic devices you use
everyday, so it is like having your own power plant on your roof with
endless supply of clean energy.
7. HOW DOES SOLAR WORK?
NET METERING: Any time the panels are producing more energy
than you are using(like the sunny days you are on vacation), the
excess energy is sent back to the utility company They are
required to credit you for that energy at the same rate they would
normally charge, so you can use those credits when you need
them, for instance in the winter time when there is less sun.
Utility companies sell your excess energy to your local
homes/businesses.
Why buying electricity from the rotten power plants, when you
can take advantage of free abundant energy from the sun?
As energy rates continue to go up the system produces
clean renewable energy at no cost to you.
8. FINANCING VS LEASING/(PPA) YOUR SOLAR
SYSTEM
Purchasing your PV SYSTEM is a great way to Maximize your
Financial Returns.
LOAN:
$0 down Higher monthly savings.
Immediate savings w/o any $ out of pocket.
Cash flow over length of the agreement.
Typically paid off within 7-15 years.
9. LEASE & PPA
LEASE: Take advantage of all the solar benefits without owning the system.
This is a great option if your tax bill is less than the tax benefit you may receive.
Monthly payments for system/ No tax credits or incentives .
Free electricity.
$0 down Credit score of 700+.
Free maintenance Leasing company is responsible for that.
PPA:
Purchase the electricity/ No tax credits or incentives .
Lower prices than you would normally pay the utility companies.
$0 down Credit score of 700+.
Free maintenance PPA company is responsible for that.
10. GETTING STARTED WITH SOLAR
ENERGY EFFICENCY SELF AUDIT: RIGHT SIZE YOUR SYSTEM
Energy efficiency measures also help reduce the size of the
solar energy system you need, saving you thousands of dollars
in up-front installation costs.

11. Select the Right Solar Contractor:
Having a licensed contractor is the key in getting the most
productive solar energy system for your home or business. At Cyrus
Solar, we represent you as your solar contractor and will apply for the
CSI Incentives on your behalf as well as arranging for your system
to be interconnected to your utility company’s power grid. We will also
apply for local permits.
Apply for Incentives:
This fund is based on the size and estimated performance of your
solar system. As more solar energy systems are purchased and
installed by California consumers, the amount of available incentive
dollars’ decreases, as does the incentive level.
Once your system has been purchased, installed and is operational,
you or your solar contractor will submit the Incentive Claim Form (ICF)
along with any supporting documentation, and shortly you will receive
12. Install Your System
Once the system is installed, the city or county will inspect the
system.
After your new system passes inspection, the utility must be
notified to interconnect your system to the grid.
Now that your system is interconnected, you can begin reaping
the benefits of solar power generation and Net Energy Metering
(NEM).
At Cyrus Solar Inc. we offer the lowest rates and we can
provide you with a free second opinion upon request.
Have 100% support from our friendly and professional staff
who will walk you through the easy process, step by step until
you reach your goal in going solar and by that you will join out
family and our Mission in building a legacy by using new ways
in producing and consuming energy in order to leave a cleaner
environment for our generations to come.
