Aquatherm Industries, Inc. Names Reliable Solar of Melbourne, Florida Newest Master Dealer for its Solar Industries Solar Pool Heaters












(PRWEB) October 10, 2014

The United States’ largest manufacturer of solar thermal equipment, Aquatherm Industries, Inc., announced today it has named Reliable Solar Enterprises of Brevard, Inc. the newest Master Dealer of its original “flagship brand” of solar pool heaters, “Solar Industries.” Based in Melbourne, Florida, Reliable Solar has a 30-year track record of quality solar pool heater installations throughout Brevard County.

Aquatherm Industries, Inc. President and CEO Dave Sizelove, personally visited the couple to welcome them into the manufacturer’s exclusive Master Dealer Program. The program was started in 1993 as a way to recognize dealers who hold themselves to a higher standard of quality and customer service. Master Dealers receive a number of benefits from Aquatherm, including upgraded and supplemental product warranties, co-op advertising funds to use with the manufacturer’s various sales and marketing programs, and leads generated by Aquatherm within a Master Dealer’s market.

“Greg and Tricia consistently sell against a number of different brands of solar pool heaters in their highly competitive market,” says Sizelove. “Being named an exclusive Solar Industries Master Dealer gives them a competitive edge with the best product and warranty in the industry, along with the support of our nationwide network of Master Dealers.”

Greg and Tricia McTaggart, owners of Reliable Solar, pride themselves on doing the job right the first time, using only the best materials available. “One thing you’ll find in common with a lot of the products we sell and install is that they are made in the USA,” says Greg, who also functions as the company’s lead installer. “That’s no accident – we believe in supporting American Industry and purposely choose products from manufacturers who share our beliefs.”

According to Sizelove, doing business with customers who share in Aquatherm’s beliefs, like Reliable Solar, is a key contributor to the manufacturer’s success over its 25 years. “Our goal is to find customers who believe what we believe, and work together so we can all succeed,” says Sizelove. “We’re looking for people to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us in pursuit of the same goal.”

In their thirty years of business, The McTaggarts have amassed a considerable customer base in their market, resulting in most new sales coming by way of referral from existing customers. In fact, the company’s customers love them so much, Greg and Tricia made their website URL http://www.ilovereob.com (I Love Reliable Enterprises of Brevard). On the company’s Yelp page, a customer named Sandy M. shows some of that love with a rave review, saying “I called Reliable for an estimate for a pool heater and was very impressed with the professionalism of office manager Tricia. The price they gave me was really fair compared to the other quotes I got – and Greg couldn’t have been nicer when he came to install. I recommend this company… they do all sorts of services I plan on using soon. Plus I’m all for family run businesses!”

Ambassador Energy Ramps Up Their Solar Training Programs and Installation Teams to Keep Pace with PACE, the Country’s Newest Way to Pay for Solar PV











Solar Training demand increases with PACE


Murrieta, CA (PRWEB) July 12, 2012

Ambassador Energy, a Murrieta-based solar training and installation firm, is answering the call from consumers, who want to take advantage of low-interest solar financing, and from other solar companies who want to train their employees.

“We train a lot of solar professionals,” said Catherine Kelso, Ambassador Energy College’s Director of Training. “NABCEP [North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners] is the gold standard for solar installers and sellers. We are accredited to teach and test for NABCEP EL and NABCEP Continuing Education. Locally, we are seeing an increase in interest from those already in the solar industry and from those wanting to get into it. I think that financing programs like HERO make a great impact in driving interest to our industry.”

“Consumers are equally interested,” said John Wilson, VP of Business Development for Ambassador Energy. “Property owners who have as little as 10% equity in their homes or commercial buildings now have an easy-qualifying way to finance solar. The program doesn’t rely on typical finance qualifiers like credit scores or debt-to-income ratios. All they look at is the customer having 10% equity and being current on property taxes and mortgage payments. In this economy, it’s really a terrific way to pay for solar, realize an income tax break and start saving on utility costs right away.”

Western Riverside County’s HERO program was recently listed as a “Top 10 Green Building Policies” program by the U.S. Green Building Council. In addition, it won the President’s Award for Excellence from the Southern California Association of Governments.

Sunny Days for Solar Power Business as Government Incentives Will Support Income Growth as Demand Heats Up











IBISWorld Market place Analysis


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

The Solar Energy business in the United States is set to develop a wholesome glow more than the next 5 years, according to IBISWorld, the nation’s largest publisher of market analysis. In that time, favorable government legislation is projected to continue to make solar energy cost-competitive with other energy generation sources. Also, via 2016, increased solar panel production will lead to lower panel costs, which will drive growth as the cost of the industry’s principal input declines. As a result of these trends, market income is forecast to rise at an typical annual rate of 11.4% and total $ 145.9 million through 2016.

According to IBISWorld’s latest statistics, general economic circumstances are anticipated to strengthen as consumer income increases and companies invest far more. As these trends prevail, growth in electricity demand is anticipated to follow. Demand for solar power will rise in tandem with electricity demand as firms seek to diversify power sources and “green” electricity becomes much more of a focus for the United States. Nevertheless, despite expected favorable government incentives over the subsequent five years, government legislation beyond 2012 will depend on the makeup of congress and the newly elected president. This will moderately limit revenue growth.

The Solar Power market has skilled bright days over the five years to 2011. Generous government incentives have pushed income growth by delivering tax credits for investing in solar power and by enacting renewable portfolio standards (RPSs). These standards, enacted in 29 states, need nearby utilities to create electricity from renewable energy as a percentage of their total power portfolio. Increased interest in green technology also influenced market efficiency by sparking interest in technologies that displace other sorts of power generation sources, such as coal and gas.

Favorable government assistance and nearby-government regulation regarding renewable energy has led to big growth in US solar power business projects benefiting organizations like, NextEra Power Inc., MEMC Electronic Supplies and Abengoa Solar. The boost reflects a high level of assistance for the industry, which typically has a hard time competing against traditional power-generation commodities, such as all-natural gas and oil. The assistance, supplied in the form of federal tax credits and RPSs, has pushed solar-electricity generation greater. In addition, as the global recession began, a glut in the international supply of silicon occurred, and Chinese solar panel and module manufacturers could not sell their merchandise at prerecession rates. As such, solar power producers acquired panels at less expensive rates. In turn, they experienced higher profit margins and undertook projects that were otherwise not profitable.

According to IBISWorld analyst, Justin Molavi, Government assistance is expected to continue to support market players in the US Solar Power market compete with other energy generation technologies by lowering the cost of solar projects. State mandates for renewable-power energy will continue to translate into greater industry income. Moreover, firming US economic growth during the next five years will contribute to much more robust demand conditions for electricity generators. As buyers have far more income and organizations invest more, demand for electricity will continue to boost. As a result, market firms are expected to benefit from the continued push into renewable-power generation, which will lead to elevated solar-power output. Given these circumstances, industry revenue is projected to grow an average of 11.four% per year over the next 5 years and total $ 145.9 million in 2016.
