Solar Direct is applying for a grant from the Florida Energy Office to help promote solar energy to Floridians. Our proposal is to demonstrate and promote the use of solar powered swimming pool pumps.
We are seeking Florida pool owners who would agree to have a solar powered pool pump installed at their home. You would commit to providing payment for 50% of the normal cost for installation, and funds from the grant plus promotion discounts from Solar Direct and the equipment manufacture would pay for the remaining portion.
You benefit by getting a system that sells for $8500 for half price plus reducing your cost of electric to run your existing pool pump – a savings of approximately $50 per month off your electric bill.
PLUS the Solar Pool Pump qualifies for the 30% federal tax credit so you end up paying only $2,975 after the grant/rebates, that is a 65% savings off the retail price.
After the installation, you would co-host a community event where visitors could come to see the system and learn about the benefits of solar. We would also highlight any other solar or renewable systems that you already have purchased from Solar Direct.
Your commitment of your time and home for the event would also receive matching funds from the state to help promote solar energy.
By signing the Commitment Letter you are agreeing to participate if the grant is approved and funded; however, there is no legal requirement that you participate or make any payment in the event unforeseen circumstances prevent your involvement at any time in the future.
If this project interests you please join us in bringing an innovative new technology to Florida!
