Solar kits is a Solar Home, Inc. Website.


Since our company's inception several crucial decisions were made regarding our company's direction.

First : Our primary focus is customer satisfaction. Regardless of cost, the customer always comes first. An extremely competitive price is only the beginning of the Solar Home customer experience. We maintain a staff of professionally trained system integrators that are always available to answer any of your questions. Our contracted electricians are available for consultation as well as full turnkey installation of your alternative energy system. Our in house repair department is staffed with expertly trained technicians that are ready to offer you great service, should the need ever arise.

Second : It was decided that our company would not incur any debt that would involve the payment of interest. This increases our buying power and allows us to maintain a well stocked supply of product. Stop by and pay us a visit, we'll give you a tour of our warehouse facilities, packed full with over a million dollars of inventory, ready to ship.

Third : Our sales staff do not work on commission, their one and only goal is to be of service to you our customer.

Fourth : We have opted for one centralized location, so we avoid paying expensive offsite manager salaries and have better control of our operation.

Fifth : We're constantly on the lookout for the best deals available on the products that we sell. Fortunately our sales volume has grown to such a tremendous level that many manufactures and distributors are now competitively bidding for our business.

As a result of all of this we are able to offer you the customer not only the lowest prices, but the best service in the industry.


Our Company's History

 

Beginning in 1982 in the City of La Puente, California and known as Computech Electronic Supply at that time, our company's founder designed, manufactured and sold electronic training kits, many of which included solar cell technology to students that attended educational institutions such as Devry Institute, California Polytechnic Institute, Mount San Antonio College, ITT Tech as well as other institutions throughout Southern California.

In 1997 our company's founder changed the company name to Electronic Parts On Sale and moved its offices to Bloomington, California and added commercially prepared renewable energy components to our product line.

In 1998 Electronic Parts On Sale began a transition away from the majority of our component level products such as diodes, capacitors, transistors and transformers and began focusing our attention on designing and selling complete renewable energy systems and related components.

In 1999 we began buying factory direct from Kyocera Solar Inc. and greatly expanded the number pre-engineered solar electric kit offerings.

In the year 2000 we became California's first and only factory authorized Trace Engineering (now Xantrex Technology) repair center offering repair service to the full line of Xantrex products. We also began purchasing factory direct from Matrix/Photowatt Solar and expanded our warehouse facility to an excess of 4,500 sq. ft. and began a concerted effort to dramatically increased our in-house inventory levels to better serve our clients and began purchasing factory direct from Xantrex Technology, Unirac and Two Seas Metal Works.

In 2001 we stepped up our marketing efforts by becoming the first renewable energy company in Southern California to advertise on KFI, KNX and KABC radio. We also began an advertising campaign on Charter Cable TV as a sponsor of Steven Spielberg's hit science fiction thriller "Taken". Our gross revenues for 2001 grew to more than $1.6 million.

In 2002 we moved our operation from the leased facility in Bloomington, California and purchased a commercial building as well as two adjoining commercially zoned vacant lots in Victorville, California. We hosted Southern California's first and largest renewable energy expo at the Fairplex in Pomona with several thousand people in attendance. An additional I-15 freeway frontage property was also purchased for the purpose of future expansion. Our gross revenues for 2002 grew to over $1.9 million.

In 2003 we began purchasing directly from Outback Power Inc. Our gross revenue for 2003 grew to over $2.1 million.

In 2004 we employed the services of M&L Keith and Associates to initiate the design and permitting process for the construction of a new showroom and warehouse on the adjoining vacant commercial properties that we previously purchased. We held our second Renewable Energy Expo at the Fairplex in Pomona with even a greater audience in attendance than our 2002 Expo. Our gross revenues for 2004 grew to over $2.4 million.

2005 was a banner year for Solar Home We broke ground on our new Victorville warehouse and showroom. We acquired a 9 acre I-15 Freeway frontage property for future expansion. We entered into an agreement to become one of only five direct dealers in the entire U.S. of Mitsubishi Electric solar modules. We became a direct distributor of PV Powered and Magnum Energy inverter products. We incorporated a sister company under the name of Solar Home, Inc. We established Advantage Solar for the purpose of serving our ever growing wholesale dealer network. Our gross revenue for 2005 nearly doubled over 2004's revenue at over $4.35 million.

2006 topped all of our previous years with over $10 million in revenues. Our new Victorville showroom and warehouse finally reached completion. We established a direct relation with SMA America, manufacturers of the Sunny Boy line of inverters. Three commercially zoned properties with an existing office facility were acquired with frontage on highway 101 in Gold Beach, Oregon and a 5,200 square foot facility was purchased in Talent, Oregon to better service our Oregon and Northern California customer base.
 
2007 With more than $2 million dollars worth of pre-sold grid intertie systems by the middle of January 2007. This year is getting off to a unprecedented start.

We are currently expanding our installation contractor list so that we may better service our nationwide customer base.
