FAQs

How much solar energy reaches the earth?

– “The amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the planet is so vast that in one year it is about twice as much as will ever be obtained from all of the Earth’s non-renewable resources of coal, oil, natural gas, and mined uranium combined.” [from Wikipedia and Stanford Global Climate and Energy Project]

What is Associated Community Solar Sciences difference?

– Our main difference is that, more than just installing excellent solar power solutions, we do it an a way that maximizes our benefit to the community.  We will not just buy the cheapest solar panels from China, but instead set up local facilities in our communities, where we hire local people, make our solar panels and other products, and then install and support them within in our own neighborhoods, among our own families, friends and neighbors.  And we do it for about the half the price of the competition.   Community, Community, Community!

Why are your costs so much less than others?

– We have a ‘flatter’ structure than most companies, with all employees considered as “Associates”.  All of our Associates are paid a fair wage that is in the average of local salaries.   We have no over paid executives, nor highly commissioned sales people.  What we do have is a generous Profit Sharing Plan for all of our Associates, so that when ACSS meets sales and customer satisfaction goals Associates income will always be in the highest levels.

We also have no investor class eager for the highest profit that ACSS can squeeze out of our customers.   Instead we constantly strive to keep our prices low, our quality high, and look toward a longer term relationship with our customers, and our Community!
