Since 1989, SALT staff originally focused on marine/yacht life-style systems. Business soon expanded to include installation and support for similar applications in motor coach/ RVs and for energy and water-making installations on remote off-grid islands. We gained valuable experience in designing and installing renewable energy systems in corrosive and high-wind conditions that provide long-term value to our south Florida and island customers.
From Key West to Key Largo, South Florida, the Bahamas and other Caribbean islands, SALT has installed more than 100 solar-based systems, including the largest residential and commercial grid-tied PV systems in the Keys.
SALT is proud to be an Authorized SunPower Dealer. SunPower panels are the most efficient on the market today, and the SunPower warranty is the longest and most comprehensive warranty on the market today. With the Equinox System, you get SunPower 360-watt X-series panels, (22.1% efficient) or the new 435-watt M-series panels, which are 30 percent more efficient than typical competitive panels, allowing a much higher power production from limited roof space. You also get micro-inverters built into each panel to create the maximum possible AC power from each panel with minimal impact of shading. Equinox also includes the SunPower Invisimount racking system that gives you a beautiful appearance and hurricane proof strength to your mounted system. And finally, you get the MySunPower monitoring system that enables you to track your system performance through an internet connection to your computer, tablet or smart phone.
SALT’s proposals are for turn-key systems including all components and accessories to provide a code compliant grid-tied solar photovoltaic system. Solar panels, inverters and racking are all included. System monitoring hardware and installation for connection to on-site customer provided internet router is also included. The necessary engineering to provide compliance with the current wind load code applicable for your address, construction drawings, permit preparation, labor and all equipment and related hardware shall be included as a contract. Our turn-key price is our commitment to provide you a worry-free installation done right.
Historically in Florida, power rates have increased 2% each year over the long term, although the increases have been higher recently. As an example, the Florida Utility Commission approved a multiyear rate increase for FPL which began on January 1, 2017 with a 4% increase for all commercial and residential customers. There was another 2% increase on January 1, 2018, and 2% again on June 1, 2019.
