American Solar Direct is dedicated to providing clean, affordable power to customers throughout California.

The company uses only materials of the highest quality to ensure that each system produces power reliably and requires minimal maintenance.

Systems installed by American Solar Direct provide massive benefits to the environment. Traditional methods of electricity generation require the burning of a secondary source of energy such as oil, natural gas, or coal. The extraction of these limited resources from the Earth has a strong negative effect on the environment. Once collected, burning these sources contributes more than anything else to the United States' carbon output, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Scientists have linked greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, to a variety of health issues and global warming. American Solar Direct provides a way of reducing this impact. Over a period of 20 years, an average home using one of the company's systems will offset approximately 150,000 pounds of carbon, the equivalent of more than 10,000 gallons of gasoline.

As the amount of carbon locked in the Earth's atmosphere has risen, so has the price of electricity. According to the Energy Information Administration, the price of electricity rose 40% between 1990 and 2008. Solar systems installed by American Solar Direct allow customers to reduce their reliance on uncertain local utility prices. The financial burden on consumers of solar energy systems is further eased by incentives, including state rebates, tax credits, and grants, that are made available to encourage the use of renewable energy.
