Here at EmPower, we&#8217;re celebrating with BBQs, beachtime, AND our All-American Solar Summer Photo Contest! Clients can post a picture of their EmPower Solar system on our Facebook page with #SolarSummer by July 21st to be eligible to win $250. Take a photo of your EmPower Solar system with an American summer theme. It could be flags, fireworks, BBQ&#8217;s, neighbors, families, or even dogs with red, white, and blue bandannas! If it says America to you, we want to see it.<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you had a solar system of your own to submit? Let us help you get a system up and ready for next summer. Contact us today.<\/p>\n<p>We love helping our neighbors achieve energy independence year-round with solar. Part of our design process is to take a look at a home&#8217;s annual energy usage, so we can design a system that will cover each season&#8217;s needs. Oftentimes, summer months consume more energy to power air-conditioning units, and winter&#8217;s shorter days require more artificial lighting. Thankfully, innovations like high-efficiency panels, battery back-up, and passive haus design can keep electric bills low every month with solar.<\/p>\n<p>Check out one of our client-turned-sales professionals Ed Olsen and his energy-independent home in Lynbrook! With an EmPower Solar system, he was able to not only eliminate his electric bill, but also charge his electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aTmBQ6J2BCs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some other families who are achieving energy independence &amp; lower utility bills with EmPower Solar:<\/p>\n<p>The Haimson Family:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KnkgGMBj0xk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Gross Family:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QPxCFrLdRvg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Kaplan Family:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lrjo50FubtM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You can read more case studies and testimonials on our website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Independence Day!
