John Flowers - Solar Specialist

A system like this with 24 panels could save you tens of thousands of dollars over just 10 years, and over $80k in 25. All it takes is a free 30 minute conversation to see if you qualify!

What in the world?!? Something feel a little wrong with this solar?

That’s AI for you.

DM me for a free, easy consultation to get a *good* picture of what solar can look like for you and your home. 45 minutes to clarity. You might even decide you like the look.

Happiest of holidays to everyone! My family and I celebrated Christmas today, and we are so grateful for each other, for life, and for a very loving and generous community.

May you be blessed in every way, wherever you are!

Do you have an outbuilding or barn on your property that could benefit from solar energy?

This homeowner wanted their restoration shop to be inflation-resistant by owning their electricity. The panels on the roof will last 30-50 years, and provide clean energy to help restore anything that enters the building!

Let me know if you would like to take 30-45 minutes for a free consultation.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so thankful for family. This year has highlighted the preciousness of gift that family truly is.

I am so thankful for community. The people who surround us have been incredible inside of the solar industry, and from all walks of life.

I am so thankful for each person that I have met in this career so far. I am being continuously challenged to grow and stretch into a fuller expression of the potential inside me. I have met wonderful people, and have even helped some through solar panels!

What are you thankful for this holiday?

The sun is slowly setting on 2022. Christmas is only 41 days away!!!

One of the best ways to invest in yourself in 2022 is to consider if your home is qualified for solar.

Why, you ask?

The nation is headed for a very expensive winter with energy prices soaring nationwide, and fuel prices set to surge as diesel supplies dwindle to historic lows. This means heating oil will skyrocket in price, and people will turn to different options, like fireplaces, space heaters, and layering sweatshirts.

The rise in prices for fuel and heating oils will cause another adjustment in fees and rates from utility companies all over the USA, like many of us have seen since July of this year.

This is not a post to inspire fear or worry, but to help shed light on a highly likely scenario. If you knew prices would increase for something you use every single day, would you plan ahead or just sit and hope things settle down?

If you knew mortgage rates would reach well over 6% in 2022, would you have refinanced at 2.5-3% in 2020?

I’d be happy to schedule a free consultation with you to see what your home’s potential is for guarding your finances from coming energy price surges.

Watts Up Wednesday!

Today I had the privilege of visiting a local elementary school to participate in “Career Day.”

The school brings in different parents and adults who represent different careers or community heroes. This can help students relate to the wider world while tying what they learn to real life applications. I got to visit with students from almost all of the first grade classes of the school, which was a ton of fun. First graders would be an incredible energy source if we could harness it, haha!

No school visit would be complete without a fire drill. It was just as loud as I remembered!

After describing a normal day, the appointment process, and the way I get to help others, we opened the floor for questions.

My main take away:

Our future is bright! I believe that the greatest sign of intelligence is asking great questions, not just knowing answers. These students delivered! The children asked so many amazing questions about solar, the Sun, and just about anything else that popped into their minds. Although we didn’t get to the bottom of what happens if the world stop spinning, or what is the middle of the moon made of, we did talk about how solar panels work for families like their own.

We talked about what communication is, how it helps me help other people, and why learning in school is so important in so many jobs.

It was a real treat to get to meet them, and to invest time and effort in the school system.

I can’t wait for next year’s Career Day, and I hope I get invited to meet another group of wonderful students!

Thank you to the faculty and staff of Pelham Road Elementary School for inviting me to visit. Such an outstanding school and leadership!

Have questions about solar but want to talk online?

What to expect for a free virtual solar consultation:

1. Receive an email with a link to the online video call. The email will include details for the time and date of the free consultation.
2. We meet and begin by looking at satellite imagery of your property to verify location, shading, sun exposure, and best location on property for an array of panels.
3. We will go through your most current electric bill to see what you are paying, what your needs are, and if solar is a good fit or not.
4. If you and your property qualify, we can custom-design a system that best compliments your needs and wants for energy independence, savings, and asset improvement.
5. We go over any questions you may have, and make sure everyone is comfortable with the results of the consultation.
6. Get solar!! (Hopefully 😀)

The process generally lasts from 30-60 minutes depending on how many questions we talk through.

I would love the opportunity to serve you through an in-person (Greenville, SC area) or virtual consultation. Message me to set something up!

So glad to help another family go solar!

And not just any family.

My sister is a second grade teacher, and this will provide an awesome opportunity for her to make renewable energy more real for her students!

Their family will benefit from:
- spending less on electricity
- investing in their home value
- producing clean energy to help fight pollution
- having a more energy efficient home with our services
- stabilizing the local grid by putting less demand on existing infrastructure

Had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful homeowner who was getting solar panels installed today! He is excited to get his new super-low electric bill and enjoy the Sun going to work for his family.

Who’s next!?!

A free 30 minute consultation can make a huge difference in your savings and property value.

What is solar energy?

Solar energy is the most abundant energy resource on earth - 173,000 terawatts of solar energy strikes the Earth continuously. That's more than 10,000 times the world's total energy use*. 🤯

Solar energy is captured and generated when a silicon panel with multiple layers of atoms encounters high energy light particles (photons). This light-excitement results in the silicon structure releasing electrons from the negatively charged top layer around the panel on silver wires. Then the traveling electrons couple back up on the positively charged bottom layer of atoms. Whew. Back to neutral.

The circuit of electron movements is now complete. Then, more sunlight starts the process all over again.

This movement of electrons is what is called the electrical current.

During the trip around the circuit, the electrons were able to operate an inverter. This equipment changes the electricity from Direct Current to the Alternating Current that your home needs.

It brings Sun energy into your home. That energy can run your lights, toaster, and much, much more.

The complete negative to positive cycle is part of what makes solar panels so sustainable. That, and the abundance of solar energy slamming into Earth all the time.

Confused by your utility bill fees and charges? You’re not alone.

A lot of people (myself included) have been paying whatever shows up for their electric bill. Have you taken the time to look at usage, charges, and fees?

I can walk you through what those are, and help you better understand what you are actually paying each month.

Here are the top 5 reasons to go solar:
1. Opt out of the monopoly of electric companies.
2. Help secure the national power grid.
3. Invest in your property value. (4% avg increase)*
4. Reduce your cooling costs with roof mount panels. (1-5%)**
5. Save money every month, especially as rates continue to climb.

Bonus: Help create jobs in your area!

Here's a bright idea ➡️ Turn your home into a hybrid!

I get it, you want to do something that feels right for the environment, and for your peace of mind. Solar is still pretty new tech compared to traditional forms of power generation.

Oil and coal are not gone yet. There are still thousands of people employed in those fields working their tails off to get you the power needed to heat and cool your home. There is a certain peace of mind that can come with tried and true methods and practices.

And, it is true that they are going to run out. We need to invest in new technology, industries, and solutions to prepare for whatever tomorrow demands. In order for those solutions to get good funding, society needs to be prepared to dip our toes in the water, financially. This will not only be good for our today, it will be great for our future as humans.

The good news is you CAN have the best of both worlds. The 24-7 consistency of being tied to the traditional grid, supporting American energy industries. The excitement and benefits of moving us all into a new, cleaner way of staying comfortable at home.

Solar is a bite-sized way that we can participate in pioneering solutions together.

Adding panels to your property is combining the brute force of the grid to the efficiency of solar energy to give you an outstanding value and savings. It's like your home being a gas/battery hybrid vehicle.
