Paradise Energy Solutions would like you to think of solar power as a viable, affordable source of electricity for your home. And it will be an especially affordable option if you’re the lucky winner of the solar energy system Paradise is giving away this month.
“I really want people to understand that this is an established industry,” says Tim Beiler, general manager of Paradise’s office in the Lancaster County town of Gap.
The company, which also has an office in Salisbury, Md., installs solar-energy systems at homes, businesses and farms in four states. The system it’s giving away provides almost 6 kilowatts of electricity, which Beiler says is enough to power the average energy use of a 1,000-square foot house. Its 28 solar panels come with a five-year warranty. The winning homeowner will also be able to log onto the Internet and monitor how well each panel works. The whole setup is valued at $30,000, which Beiler says is being offset by donated materials and labor.
Only private homeowners are eligible to win. And since the giveaway is meant to get people to explore solar energy, homeowners have to enter by visiting one of Paradise’s offices or its booths at four upcoming events: the Worcester County Fair in Snow Hill, Md.; Penn State’s Ag Progress Days in Pennsylvania Furnace, Centre County; the Middletown Grange Fair in Wrightstown, Bucks County; or the International Shed Manufacturers Expo in Lancaster.
