WePOWER's Solar Thermal Hot Water Products Awarded Full SRCC Certification

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. (June 3, 2010) /PRNewswire/ — WePOWER is proud to announce that the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC) has awarded WePOWER the "stamp of approval" on our full line of Solar Thermal Direct Energy products.

In California and other states, installing a certified solar water heating system qualifies homeowners to receive a share of federal stimulus money, including a 30% federal tax credit plus utility company cash rebates ranging from $900-$2,000.

WePOWER's systems include an 80-gallon solar water tank along with a highly efficient 40 sq ft roof-mounted solar thermal collector able to offset up to 25% of total household annual energy usage and 30% of emissions. In fact, our technology is so efficient that a single 4 X 10 collector can produce the same energy equivalent as a roof-full of 16 solar photovoltaic panels. Consumers are invited to visit http://www.wepower.us/products/solar-thermal/ for details.

WePOWER, in conjunction with a major retailer, will also offer installation and a no-money-down no-interest loan for 36-months (on approved credit). Details are available by contacting us at: http://www.wepower.us/contactus/

"It is the only national certification organization whose programs are the direct result of combined efforts of state organizations involved in the administration of standards…"
