SolarMax Technology Cools Heat for 600 Homeowners

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Homeowners are turning to solar power – amid the heat waves and rising energy costs – to cool down and save money on their electric bills. Over the summer, SolarMax Technology Inc. installed and sold over 600 residential solar power systems.

“The high cost of cooling and powering a home in Southern California really grabs the attention of homeowners when they see their electric bills double and triple in the summer,” said Guillermo Santomauro, SolarMax Technology sales manager. “We’ve installed a significant amount of solar panels in the Inland Empire this past summer, notably in Temecula, San Bernardino County, Palm Springs, City of Riverside and in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.”

Solar power systems are affordable and reliable. With city, state and federal solar rebates, more and more homeowners are turning to solar power as a way to immediately lower or eliminate their high cost electric bills.

“Going solar is easy nowadays; most options allow you to get solar panels for no money down, homeowners get to enjoy upfront savings the moment the system is turned on, and there is still a big 30% federal tax credit available,” Santomauro added. “There’s also a special program for Riverside County residents; the Home Energy Renovation Opportunity by the Western Riverside County of Governments. The HERO program offers tax deductible financing, low interest rates and payments through property taxes as well as no credit score requirement; it’s like writing off your electric bill every year and paying less for power at the same time; solar pays you back faster than you think.”

SolarMax Technology continues to grow, hire, and expand its offices nationwide. The company is set to move its headquarters to a 165,000-square-foot building in Riverside, CA by the end of the year. The move will create directly and indirectly 1,600 jobs.
