Taylor Heating & Air Conditioning offers an effective Solar Photovoltaic solution to power your home and we also offer Solar Hot Water Heaters that use the sun to heat your water.

Solar Photovoltaic
Though solar electric harvesting has been available for years, it has traditionally been very expensive and impractical for general use. The recent government "Green" push has encouraged the industry to focus on this endless source of renewable energy. Despite the above average cloudy weather in Rochester, NY, modern solar systems are now capable of producing power on par with consistent sunny climates such as California. In addition, our region currently has better tax incentives that help create a shorter return on investment to match the resource of the geography.

Current incentives offered to NY state homeowners include: 30% Federal Tax Credit, 24% NY State Tax credit up to $5,000, and NYSERDA incentives of $1.75/watt installed.

Solar photovoltaic panels can be used to drastically -or even eliminate- your costs associated with using electricity from the power company. Solar photovoltaic can be used on a small scale basis to supplement the electricity you purchase from your current utility company, resulting in much lower electric bills. On a large scale basis, solar photovoltaic can be used in place of your current utility provider so you no longer have to pay for your electricity.

Solar photovoltaic panels collect solar radiation from the sun and then convert that energy into electricity. Each solar panel is comprised of multiple individual solar cells made out of silicon. When radiation strikes the solar panel, electrons are released. These electrons are then pulled by a directional current to metal contacts where they are then distributed as electricity.

Solar Water Heating
Our Solar Water Heater systems have the least upfront cost, and can boast a rapid return on investment of only 1 to 2 years for current petrol fuel users. Natural gas users can still see a 3 to 4 year payback. Even with overcast days, solar hot water works consistently, and even produces from areas in shade. Modern solar water heating systems can acquire stored water temperatures of 180 degrees Fahrenheit. These systems have many applications including but not limited to pool heating, geo-thermal super charging, domestic hot water, radiant heating systems and supplementing other water storage systems.
