"Shell Oil predicts that 50% of the world's energy will come from renewable sources by 2040."

"A system as small as 50 kilowatts, which can fit on a medium-sized office building roof, can produce enough electricity to eliminate 86,388 lbs of CO2 pollution annually, equivalent to planting over 6.5 acres of trees!"

"The number 2 state in the U.S. for solar electric power, and number 1 in total solar installations on a per capita basis, is New Jersey. Abundant state and federal incentive programs have caused the number of solar installations to skyrocket from just six installations seven years ago to over 4,340 today." LEARN MORE

In one hour, the planet Earth receives more energy from the sun than the entire world uses during a whole year.

In most states, you are allowed to feed the electricity produced by your solar power system back into the power grid.

Known as "net metering," this allows you to sell your solar power to the local utility, reducing or eliminating your electric bill.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), passed in response to the worldwide economic crisis of 2008-2009, contains more than than $50 billion in direct spending programs, tax incentives, grants, loans, loan guarantees, and bond programs devoted to clean and renewable energy.

Even during the recession, the solar industry grew by 37 percent in 2009 and created 17,000 new American jobs. One industry association projects 10 gigawatts of new installations annually by 2015, powering two million households with clean, safe solar energy and supporting 440,000 domestic jobs.

2009 marked the second year of major price declines for photovoltaic solar modules. Prices have fallen over 40 percent since the beginning of 2008.

Since module prices account for up to half of the installed cost of a PV system, overall installed system prices are trending significantly downward as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Neuwing Renewable Energy different from the local solar company I saw in the phone book?
Chances are, the company you saw in the phone book is just a solar installer or contractor that would charge you for their services. Neuwing Renewable Energy enables utilities, commercial, and government customers to achieve reduced carbon emissions, energy independence, predictable pricing, and enhanced sustainability without the upfront cost, risk of ownership, or operating maintenance associated of having to own a solar power plant built themselves.

What is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?
A PPA is a contract fixing the terms of an electrical energy service agreement between an energy service provider (Neuwing Renewable Energy) and an end user (Customer). Sometimes referred to as a "third party" ownership model, this approach lets you focus on your core mission, while renewable energy experts manage and operate your energy system. For 15 to 25 years, you enjoy predictable, predetermined electricity prices, and power from a solar or wind system that is a source of pride for your organization.

How much can my organization really save?
We typically save customers anywhere from 10 -50% annually on their electric bill. Although your savings is difficult to predict without Neuwing Renewable Energy performing a preliminary site analysis and savings will depend on several factors, but namely:

Your property size - the larger the system we can install generally greater the savings
Geographic location - Areas like the mid-west have very low utility rates compared states like NJ & CA so their savings are typically less. Additionally, not all states have financial solar or wind initiatives

What about roof leaks?
Neuwing Renewable Energy has strategic alliances with the Nations leading solar panel manufacturers and uses the most advanced technology available. This technology includes systems that are self ballasted and snap into place. These panels do not require any roof penetrations and can easily be moved and repositioned. They are also lightweight and weigh less than a single layer of shingles.

I own a large commercial property and lease space to several tenants. How do I benefit from renewable energy?
A solar or wind installation will enable tenants to enjoy renewable power at competitive prices while Neuwing Renewable Energy pays roof rent to owners to enhance NOI. Neuwing Renewable Energys services are a zero-capital-cost improvement that "greens" a property, making it more attractive to tenants, buyers and store customers.

How long does the permitting and construction process take?
This depends on system size and type. Generally Neuwing Renewable Energy can analyze your site, design a system, obtain approvals/permits, and complete construction of a solar system in 4-6 months. Wind systems typically take an additional 30-90 days as the permitting process requires a few additional steps.
