Federal tax credits are 30% of the installed cost of a grid-tied solar system. There is no cap on the amount. The tax credits offset both regular income tax and the alternative minimum tax for 2012.

Looks like $50 rebate is on until the end of the year. I assume purchases from Amazon qualify. http://www.midwayusa.com/general/rebate/rcbs-rebate-save-up-to-50

I bought this shower a while back and had it instaled by a tech, but I have not used it yet, I have not had a chance to get out there yet. But I had an auxiliary power supply that uses solar panels added to my truck for extra power, that includes 2 more jell batteries, 120W solar cells, and 50W portable foldable , this will feed all my HID offroad lights and an ARB fridge, the shower, laptop, and few other gadgets.

As long as you wipe off the solar glass panel and let the sunshine charge it up however there are small round batteries

It depends on where you live and how much sun you get. Based on 140W 24/7 the 300W "kit" won't be enough. That doesn't mean you couldn't do it with more panels. Just don't buy a "kit". That comes with a dedicated charger for the wattage the kit comes with. Check on line or with someone who can give you the calculations you will need for wattage and but individual panels and then size a charger for your needs. I had to do the same. The panels that come with the kit are top notch and can be bought by themselves.

Yes, it worked perfectly and my solar configuration consisted of an inexpensive solar charger, a 100 watt solar panel and a single marine 700 amp battery. The computer system hardly drew enough energy to lower the available amp hours after a couple hours of use. Power Bright APS-12 has performed perfectly for the past year and is used on a daily basis.

No, absolutely not. My children have received this kit as a gift on two separate occasions; the first time it didn't work, apparently the solar panel couldn't muster enough energy to work. It was also frustrating to try and assemble. The second kit didn't include instructions. Even if the customer service is "good" (according to another response), the kits are cheap and garbage.

Yes, I sent it back. Their equipment is not in conformance with any code. The inside parts are not up to any market or security specifications. I was chocked about the lack of security. It's a fire hazard ! I have 9x 150 W solar panels. Even at full performance of the solar panels ( Theoretical 1350 W) I never reached a power output of more than 450 Watt!!! I sent it back and got refunded after they offered me to send individuals parts, worth $4.50 and to soother it myself. I repeat my claim several times before I got reimbursed !

That depends on where you live and what size panels you install. There are a lot of online calculators. Search "Solar Calculator".

Yes! It won't be overcharge on my home energy at 24hr 7d week all year round. It will be safe to charge with solar panel. It only charge on day time and night time none. As long it's a twelve volt charger to charge these batteries.

Providing all the panels are receiving direct sunlight it would work. Some devices may not charge if all the panels are not fully exposed to sunlight.

You will need a charge controller and wiring cables. We suggest you purchase a complete kit 50W or solar panel bundle 50Watts in our store.

You would not use the Thunderbolt Solar kit to run a 4 bedroom house. That is a serious investment in no less than 12 panels, a good sine wave converter, and a 24 volt forklift battery pack at the least. This kit is suitable to keep 1 or 2 RV 12 volt batterys charged for use with an 800 to 2000 watt converter.

Absolutely. Just make sure the solar charge controller is 12VDC and rated appropriately for the output of the solar panels.

I run mine on low speed most of the time and noticed a $20 savings on my first month. It wasn't a full month, so I'll know more this month. I'm sure there is an energy savings because PG&E; gave me a $100 rebate and it is an energy star.
