Our low-cost approach to solar energy offers commercial, industrial, and government customers the quickest payback and highest ROI in the alternative energy business.
Our systems can integrate seamlessly with your building’s traditional HVAC system. We can also deliver low-cost solar heat for industrial processes.
American Solar, Inc. has created a line of technologies based on solar thermal roof tile heating systems. This technology group includes solar air-heating metal roofs, solar walls, solar siding, solar hot water systems and more.

Solar thermal systems produce heat for as low as $4-6 per million BTU, or about 1.5-2¢ per kilowatt hour of thermal energy delivered. Most electric utility customers spend about 7-15¢ per kilowatt hour ($20-44 per million BTU). Most solar electric systems produce solar electricity for about 15¢ per kilowatt hour ($44 per million BTU).

Solar Heat Success Story
American Solar recently completed an award winning campus-wide solar retrofit for a US Health and Human Services' Lab. The system involved 14 buildings and deployed nearly an acre of solar roofing, siding, and ground mounted systems. The overall system capacity is over 4 million BTU per hour.

Commercial, industrial and institutional buildings have large exterior surfaces, which can collect solar energy. Solar energy can meet the large lighting, and varied heating and cooling needs of these buildings. Residential homes use smaller solar energy systems. Buildings using solar heating and daylighting design strategies can operate more efficiently and create more pleasant environments for working and living.

Businesses and industry can diversify their energy sources, improve efficiency, and save money by using solar technologies for:
