Types of Solar Energy Systems
If you are reading this page you have likely heard about, read about, or seen in action how people are supplying all or part of their energy needs by harnessing the most abundant resource on Earth, sunlight. Do you know that enough sunlight hits your rooftop every day to offset 20%, 50%, or even 100% of your energy needs? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to harness this energy and transform it to help you save money AND reduce your impact on the environment? Wouldn’t it be even better if your state and local government would help you pay for up to 80% of the cost?
South Coast Solar is pleased to inform that all of the above are true. Louisiana’s largest solar energy company offers a solar solution for almost every home large and small, new and old.
Solar Electricity, Photovoltaics, or “PV”

Solar Hot Water
The average American household spends 20%-40% of its energy budget on water heating. Instead of burning expensive natural gas or electricity to heat a tank of water only to lose up to 20% of that energy in standby losses, why not use a FREE source?
Using the Sun to provide hot water for your home is one of the most natural and affordable solar solutions. Solar water heaters provide the fastest return on investment and can provide up to 85% of your families hot water needs.
It is true that solar water heating requires a larger initial investment than other water heating systems. Notice how we stress the term “Investment”. That’s because a solar water heating system is one of the only appliances that will pay for itself with energy savings. It all boils down to every bit of heat you harness from your rooftop will offset the need to purchase gas or electricity.
When you couple these facts along with the most aggressive tax incentives in the country solar hot water is a no-brainer. South Coast Solar uses high quality systems from Schüco USA. Our systems have an attractive low-profile appearance and can be installed on virtually any home.
