Award signifies that solar energy has arrived in Pennsylvania and that Exact Solar is the very best and what they do – installing solar PV, solar water heating, and solar pool heating systems that reduce their customers' bills and their carbon footprints.
PRLog - Aug. 25, 2014 - YARDLEY, Pa. -- Really? Philadelphia Magazine's 'Best of Philly' Awards now has a category for Best Solar Panel Installations? We get enough sun in Philadelphia to go solar? The answer is yes, and YES! And, as more and more residents of southeastern Pennsylvania go solar, Best of Philly realized that a new category was needed to keep up with the times.
For 41 consecutive years, “Best of Philly” has been the recognized mark of excellence in Philadelphia. The coveted award program has been awarded for best cooking classes to best clock repair, from best dog walker to best doula, and this year, for the first time, they added a category for Best Solar Panel Installations.
Mark Bortman, owner-operator of winner Exact Solar explains, “We're proud to be leading and succeeding in a relatively new industry in the northeastern United States. As a small, family-owned business, we understand that it's not only our duty to sell the systems, but also to educate the community and our future customers about the growing benefits of solar energy, the truly historic and remarkable surge in affordability of these systems, and the real feasibility of it right here in the Greater Philadelphia area. If you pay an electric bill each month, then you and your pocketbook can potentially benefit from a solar energy system.”
The facts speak for themselves. Prices of installed solar energy systems have plummeted, down 60% in just the last three years. At the same time, solar panels and other components continue to become more efficient and more powerful. We now have enough solar energy installed in the US to power 3 million homes, and Pennsylvania's neighbor, New Jersey, was 2nd only to California in the first quarter of 2014 in the amount of megawatts of solar electricity installed. Even without state-level incentives, the numbers speak for themselves. Customers lock in a rate for their own, home-generated electricity, that's guaranteed for 25 years, will never go up in price, will never pollute air or water, and that costs about half of what they pay PECO today.
Exact Solar, based in Yardley, PA, is showing that commitment to exceptional customer service, industry-leading products, and high quality installations is the key to success. The listing in the annual Best of Philly® edition of Philadelphia magazine states of Exact Solar: “The experts at this trusted Yardley company will come to your house to determine what type of panel suits it best – water-heating, electricity-generating or even pool-warming – and then handle everything from permits to install to rebates. All you have to do is congratulate yourself: Your carbon footprint is now just a carbon toe.”
Bortman was pleasantly surprised when he found out his company had won. “Winning 'Best of Philly' is a huge honor in Philadelphia. People watch for these winners each summer and companies covet these awards. It's a tremendous vote of confidence by the editors of Philadelphia magazine, our customers, and our community. And the fact that we now have our own Best of Philly category is great news for southeast PA. As solar becomes more of a commodity, prices will continue to come down and more and more Philadelphians will be able to go solar too.”
