Mid-America Renewable Energy Solutions (MARES) makes it easy to protect yourself from rising electricity cost and make a difference for the environment by helping you use solar power to generate clean electricity for your home. By using solar power you will:

Decrease Your Harmful Environmental Impact – generating your own clean electricity from the sun helps avoid the polluting emissions associated with fossil fuel-generated electricity (such as coal, oil, and natural gas).

Save Money – Lower your electric bills or eliminate them entirely by generating your own power using solar panels.

Increase Your Home’s Value up to $20,000 for every $1,000 in annual utility savings.

Qualify For Rebates and Tax Credits – Federal tax credits and local and state rebates (in some areas) can pay for up to 40% of your system’s cost.

Example Solar PHOTOVOLTAIC System Prices:  
 
Actual costs may be significantly higher (20% or more) than those listed below.  There are several factors that can influence the installed system cost, including your location, site feasibility, local weather patterns, and system design options.  
 
Price estimates include all equipment and installation costs, but do not take into account any rebates or tax incentives. Optimal system size is based on your production goals, electricity usage and your site's location, building orientation and other characteristics.

Solar Electric Systems are Simple, Durable, and Long Lasting

Since a solar electric system is a valuable home improvement and a smart investment in the future, we’ve designed our systems to combine three critical features: simplicity, durability, and longevity.

Simple to Own and Operate – Our fully automated solar electric systems have no moving parts and require almost no maintenance. And since they integrate seamlessly with existing electrical and mechanical systems, once your system is installed all you have to do is flip a switch to start generating electricity.

Incredibly Durable – Inclement weather is no problem for our solar panels, which can withstand temperature extremes, 1” hail, and 150 mph winds.

Lifespan of 30 Years or More – Enjoy all the benefits of solar power for years to come.
