While very few towns in Maine have any tax on solar electric systems now, this will most likely change now that legislation has passed for an exemption. This means that if the owner of a solar electric system for their home or business completes this form by April 1st, they will be exempt from any tax in their municipality for the year of the exemption request and henceforth.

If you are interested in purchasing or leasing an EV, you will need a charging station installed in your home. We are always available to consult on a potential EV charging station and solar array for your home.

The Assured Solar team was hard at work this past summer designing and installing a wide variety of residential and commercial systems. Sometimes neighborhood critters are so friendly and curious about solar, they can’t help but see what the fuss is all about! On this particular day a wild turkey hung out to admire our team’s efficient and safe work, not to mention the top-of-the-line equipment!

At Assured Solar Energy, we are always testing and vetting new technologies to increase the efficiency of energy production in our installations. On a recent residential installation in Freeport, near Wolf’s Neck Farm, we had the opportunity to install EIQ Vboost 700 power optimizers.

Assured Solar Energy’s experienced design and installation team has no trouble completing residential systems like this beautiful 12.76 kW (Kilowatt) array both thoroughly and with time to spare. They carefully consider our customers’ budgetary, aesthetic, and energy production requirements to reach an optimal solar PV system configuration.

The first and most obvious is that solar power is clean energy that helps protect the environment. The more solar power is used, the less fossil fuels are burned which means fewer pollutants and CO2 in the air. This provides you with peace of mind as you help to protect the environment, but there are other advantages as well.
