From Sanyo’s website…
Savings Every Month. A solar electric system powers your home so you can use considerably less electricity from the public utility.
State Rebates And Federal Tax Credits. Your state’s public utility rebates and the federal government’s tax credits can help pay for a substantial percentage of your system and installation.
Solar Gives You Protection Against Electricity Rate Hikes. Imagine that you had been able to lock in automobile gas prices in 2004. You’d be paying less than $2 a gallon not only today, but also for decades to come. With every gas price increase, you’d be saving even more money. That’s exactly what you’re doing with the cost of electricity when you install a solar electric system.
Because solar installation is a fixed cost, savings increase as utility rates rise. Essentially, you’re building in a hedge against future rate increases. And rising utility rates are definitely something you can count on, especially considering that they’ve gone up an average of 5% per year for the past 30 years. In 2006, some states saw the highest tier residential rates jump as much as 55% in just one year.
Solar Increases The Value Of Your Home. A solar electric system can increase a home’s value by $20,000 for every $1,000 in reduced annual operating costs.
Solar Offers You Energy Independence. By switching to solar electricity, we can help alleviate our overdependence on foreign sources. Solar electricity is used where it is made, so there are no transportation or delivery costs. Solar electricity’s price stability is also independent of the effects of natural disasters, foreign political instability or trade disputes. The supply chain extends simply from the sun to your roof.
While you are enjoying reliable solar electricity, you are also sharing that reliability with everyone else. Doesn’t it make sense that if everyone had solar electricity systems, the public power grid would be more reliable since there would be less strain on it?
Your Utility Meter Spins Backwards With Net Metering. Net metering programs in 38 U.S. states and the District of Columbia help increase your savings. With net metering, your electric meter tracks your net power usage, spinning forwards when you use electricity from the utility, and backwards when your system is generating more electricity than you need. Your local utility or www.dsireusa.org can fill you in on specific details of the net metering program in your area.
How Net Metering Works: During the day, the system “banks” any surplus on the utility grid, feeding it back to the utility and generating a credit on your bill. The more electricity you produce, the more you save. At night, the system automatically draws the electricity you need from the grid. This forwards and backwards flow of electricity is completely automatic, and provides a smooth, uninterrupted flow of power for all your household needs.
What exactly is an Arizona room?
March 30, 2009
We have had several people ask us recently what an Arizona room is. For some reason Google most often pulls up results for room rental’s in Arizona. An Arizona room is simply another name for a sunroom or solid patio cover enclosure. Arizona rooms are slightly different then traditional glass rooms or a conservatory because it has a solid awning on top. Not lattice patio covers or glass roofs. An Arizona room creates a living space out of your new or existing patio cover that blocks you from the harmful effects of the sun and the harshness of desert weather conditions.
Because people are choosing to stay in their homes longer, Arizona rooms are an inexpensive way of extending your living space. This type of home renovation or expansion is facilitated best by a licensed and experienced patio enclosure company, such as we are.

Adding Sunrooms or Arizona rooms
January 22, 2009
Don’t Move, Improve! Isn’t it Time to Add an Arizona Room or Sunroom to YOUR Home?
With the kids growing up and needing more space to hang out with their friends, build muscles on their fitness equipment or enjoy games with the family. Maybe you are just looking for a way to make that patio space a more usable part of your living environment. An Arizona room, patio enclosure or sunroom addition to your home is likely the most practical and cost-effective way to get more space.
Start by determining the room’s purpose. Most people think of sunrooms and Arizona rooms as a place to escape the dust, bugs and heat or cold of an open patio. But other uses include using a patio rooms as a home office, spa, music, exercise or entertainment room.
Next, select the type and size sun room — if you simply want a retreat during nice weather, a screened porch or seasonal room might be right for you. Upgrading to a glass room and screen enclosure will extend the sunroom’s use from fall to spring. For a home office or playroom to use year-round, select insulated sunrooms, Arizona rooms, or patio enclosures with high performance glass.
Year-round sunrooms and Arizona rooms are equipped with double-paned insulated glass, and when used with a zoned heating and cooling system, often they become your family’s favorite room. They are a unique way to allow you to bring the outdoors inside without the dust, heat, cold or bugs –just the view and feel of outdoor living.
Look for a company that maintains a design staff, has the ability to custom manufacture your enclosure for your particular needs and has properly trained installation crews. Find a company that has been in business more than 10 years (there is no substitute for experience) and is on solid financial footing. An experienced company will know how to walk you through the process of determining local building code requirements, homeowners association approvals and design and value engineering issues. The result will be an enclosure that meets your specific needs and will serve those needs for years to come.

Patio Enclosure and Patio Enclosures
December 27, 2008
A patio enclosure is a cost effective way of adding livable space to your home that allow you to enjoy Arizona living at it’s finest. They are often used as a recreation room, sun room, play room, hobby room or exercise room. Patio enclosures are known by many names including screen rooms and solariums, however we most often refer to them as patio rooms, sun rooms or Arizona rooms. A patio room or Arizona room is created by enclosing a new or existing patio cover. Patio enclosures, in addition to shade coverage, offer controlled protection from adverse outdoor living conditions and additional security for your at home lifestyle. A sunroom can also be built with an insulated Comfort-Gard® Plus glass roof system that allows you to enjoy a unique open sunspace.
Consider a patio enclosure or Arizona room for your next home improvement project. Our patio rooms, sunrooms, and Arizona rooms are constructed from time-tested, quality materials which convert your extra backyard space into functional and livable square footage and add value to your home at an affordable price.
