This article is on CNN's website. You can read it in full here.

Here's one of the interesting quotes from that article: "...Renewable energy now contributes a quarter of the world's electricity capacity and is responsible for 18 percent of global power production...."

Here's another: ‎"One of the upsides of the downturn of last year was that it did lead to a significant decease in the cost of some these [renewable] technologies, particularly in solar," Eric Usher, manager the UN's Sustainable Energy Finance Initiative, told CNN."

As you can see, solar is growing and is here to stay. There are vast potentials that solar holds for us!

We thought you might enjoy seeing a few more photos of our latest solar pv installation on a manufacturing facility in Winder.

The photos are deceiving; those panels are enormous! (Approximately 5 1/2 feet tall.) We used well over 100 panels for this particular installation.

Winder, GA – Cantsink Manufacturing, Inc. in Winder, GA announced today that it has completed a solar power installation that will cover the power needs of their entire manufacturing site, said company President, Mr. Patrick Hutchinson. The company, which is located at 105 Manufacturers Court, is a manufacturer of helical piles.

“We began this installation in early June,” stated Russell Seifert, President of Creative Solar USA, the company hired to design and install the state-of-the-art solar power system. “We were very excited to work with Cantsink. They were able to get both federal and state tax credits that covered 65% of their installation costs. We are also awaiting final approval on a 25% USDA grant, which will make the final expenditure to our client only 10% of the cost to install the system.”

“We looked at the numbers and decided this was a great time to proceed with our plans to make our building a ‘net-zero’ facility,” stated Hutchinson. “The payback is fast, especially with the federal and state incentives.”

The solar electric (PV) system covers 100% of the energy needs of the manufacturing facility and sends any additional power back into the grid for re-sale by the power company. Solar installations, such as this one, are gaining in popularity in the United States. The state of Georgia is fast gaining traction towards being more solar-friendly by pushing to give alternate energy systems the support needed to place our fine state squarely at the center of the renewable energy scene in the southern US.

From a recent install, here's what one of our clients had to say. Their picture is show below.

"Thanks again for your work putting up the solar system. Sometimes you can experience all kinds of situations with contractors, and believe me, we have been there! This was how it should be. You and your team were as professional as can be, you know your stuff, you went out of your way to get things done in our extreme tight timeframe, we worked through the usual quirks that come up in every job, and everything is working fine now. And on top of it, you and your team were fun to have around."
