Learn about our three step approach to energy efficiency and solar energy:
First, our BPI certified clean energy consultants will determine the efficiency of your home or commercial building by providing a professional energy audit and recommending energy efficiency improvements. Our Energy Audits average about $400.
Second, we perform the efficiency upgrades we recommend and always offer a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. You’ll soon enjoy a home that’s comfortable and efficient. These upgrades typically average between $1500 and $2500.
Third, we provide a free Solar Site Assessment for anyone receiving an energy audit. Our clean energy consultants assess your location for solar shading and provide a thorough report of the expected solar production. We customize solar electricity systems, solar hot water systems, or both to fit your needs and our team does the install, takes care of the permits, and guides you through every incentive available to you.
Solar energy is clean, quiet, and safe and we guarantee our systems for 20 years. Act now to take advantage of Federal and State incentives that can pay for up to 50% of the cost. Continuum is unique because we help you become energy efficient first, and solar energy independent next.

Amazing – Solar PV electric systems in Washington D.C. are up to 90% off after incentives. You must act soon before the D.C. money is gone. Check out this example for a 3.5 kW system we recently priced:
15 x 253 Watt Sharp modules= 3.525 kW DC
3.525 kW DC = 2.96 kW AC
= 4976 KWH/yr production
= Approx 4 SREC’s/yr
Let’s do the numbers
3.525kW x $6.85/w = $24,146
+3000 eng & permit = $27,146
-x .30 federal credit = $8,143
- DC credit = $10,050
-4 SREC’s x 5 yrs @ $325 each = $ 6,500
__________
YOUR FINAL COST= $2453
4976 KWH/yr= $646 savings / yr @ .13/KWH
4 years and it’s paid for itself, then starts paying you, along with an increased home value to boot!
Call today or early tomorrow asking Webb and Warner to vote no on the Murkowski amendment. This bill could restrict the EPA from acting in our best interest and would reduce efficiency standards for vehicles. Call Today! Webb 202-224-4024 or Warner 202-224-2023
| EmPOWER Annapolis |
| A new clean energy financing program – the first of its kind in Maryland – just became available for residents of Annapolis. EmPOWER Annapolis will enable homeowners to secure low-cost financing for performing energy efficiency (EE) improvements on their homes.
It must be for energy efficiency projects on an owner-occupied residence in the City of Annapolis.
- Financing up to $10,000 per home with up to a 10 year term and rates as low as 3%.
- Payments are made with your water bill and are transferable if the home is sold.
- Must perform a BPI Certified Energy Audit to determine valid projects, but the cost of the audit can be rolled into the loan.
- Once approved, improvement projects must be completed within 90 days.
At present, there is only enough funding to finance approximately 50 projects.

NOTE: Similar financing programs are popping up across the country. In fact, clean energy financing mechanisms are set to start soon in Montgomery County and Frederick City & County. Maryland hopes to use the lessons learned in these programs to develop similar mechanisms for all Maryland homeowners. |
Amazing! Prices for solar modules continues to fall! With incentives the time has never been better to go solar!

House Passage of ‘Home Star’ Sets Stage for Creation of More than 168,000 U.S. Construction Jobs, Alliance Says
Washington, D.C., May 6, 2010 – The Alliance to Save Energy today praised the House of Representative’s passage of the Home Star Energy Retrofits Act (H.R. 5019), legislation that would provide on-the-spot rebates for homeowners who make energy efficiency home improvements and create as many as 168,000 American construction jobs over the next two years.
“Today’s House passage of the Home Star program brings us one day closer to putting American construction workers back to work and helping millions of cash-strapped Americans make cost-saving energy efficiency improvements to their homes,” said Alliance President Kateri Callahan.
Home Star would provide rebates to homeowners who retrofit their homes with energy efficient equipment and materials, including insulation, windows and heating and cooling equipment. The legislation would create two rebate programs, one for such specific improvements and one for whole-home energy-use reductions. The first category of rebates would be for up to $3,000 per home, the second for up to $8,000. More information at www.efficiencyfirst.org/home-star.
Mr. Rhone Resch of the Solar Energy Industries Association has produced a definitive article on the current state of the Solar Industry as it stands within the entire political spectrum. By signing the Solar Bill of Rights, you can learn about the forces our industry is up against, and join thousands of other Americans in urging lawmakers in Washington to give the U.S. solar industry a fair competitive environment.
He’s not asking for a handout, just a fair playing field for an industry that doesn’t remove mountain tops, trap miners, or destroy coastlines and fisheries despite best efforts to avoid such catastrophes.
Great News for America! Citing a study published by the Home Performance Resource Center — the nonprofit research arm of Efficiency First — New York Times blogger Kate Galbraith has posted an article about how the vast majority of building materials and appliances used in energy retrofits are produced by American factories.
