Since 1976, SALT (Sea Air Land Technologies) staff originally focused on marine life-style systems. Business soon expanded to include installation and support for similar applications in motor coach/RVs and for energy and water-making installations on remote off-grid islands. We gained valuable experience in designing and installing renewable energy systems in corrosive and high-wind conditions that provide long-term value to our South Florida customers.

In the last decade, SALT has used its extensive expertise in larger energy systems to install and maintain solar electric (photovoltaic or PV) systems, solar lighting, solar hot water, and solar pool heating systems for residential and commercial clients throughout the Keys, South Florida and the Caribbean.

From Key West to Key Largo and the Bahamas and other Caribbean islands, SALT has installed more than fifty solar-based systems, including one of the largest residential grid-tied PV systems in the Keys. Commercial clients have included the Stock Island Marina Village, Southernmost Hotel, Dolphin Research Center, and Tildens Dive Shop. Our installation on Historic Pigeon Key, a 24-kW off-grid, battery-backup with generator interface system, required additional logistics for delivering the large equipment to the water-only access island.

We are currently the only authorized dealer in South Florida for the premier SunPower® panels, for both commercial and residential installations.  In addition to our solar expertise, our engineers have devoted many hours reviewing actual wind data in the Keys over a years period. Such review allows for recommending the most optimal wind-power generator system to take advantage of the specific wind condition of the Keys. Our first wind installation, on East Sisters Creek Island, is still efficiently operating after 15 years.

Under current government programs, installation of some renewable energy or energy-efficient equipment qualifies for government incentives in the form of tax credits and/ or rebates. Our staff can assist with the paperwork needed to apply for and collect these incentives.  Our partner, Dimensione Ingenierie, is an Italian engineering firm established in 1992. Dimensione Ingenierie specializes in design and site management of civil works and mechanical and industrial installation, with a particular focus on cableways and high mountain engineering.  Projects have included ski area design on west Alps at border between Italy, France and Swiss, completed work for the Olympics games committee (Turin 2006), and they recently designed the Kanas ski resort in China

Inaugurated on June 2015, fully designed and managed by Dimensione Ingenierie, the Skyway MontBlanc is one of the most technologically advanced mountaintop tourist complexes, composed of 2 cablecars that rise over 11,500 feet with 4 restaurants, indoor and outdoor observation decks, commercial areas and a World-Class movie theater with 150 seats.

Dimensione Ingenierie has a product design research team that has been awarded a number of patents on specific mechanical and cableway solutions. Using the knowledge of high mountain, extreme environment conditions, our partners Energy division engineered unique off grid solutions at the top of the Europe capable to handle frozen winds over 180mph and fully integrated with roof and structures.  With proper architectural design and technology solar energy systems with appropriate integration engineering can complement homes and commercial construction, achieving both great ROI and PR value from the investments.   By merging our knowledge, we can offer you a turnkey solution fully designed on your specific needs that can fit the strongest environmental requirements from Caribbean hurricanes to extreme frozen high mountain storms and avalanche windsTHE VALUE OF SOLAR POWER No fuel costs are associated with solar powered electricity, and the cost of photovoltaic systems is lower than its ever been. The amount of solar energy striking the earth is substantial - here in the Sunshine State, we experience an average of about 7.5kWh each day. Solar power energy systems may seem expensive. However, government incentives and tax rebates significantly drive down the upfront capital costs. Our grid-tied customers have typically experienced a complete system payback within 8-10 years. When the time comes to sell your home, a solar photovoltaic, solar hot water, or pool heating system is viewed by home buyers and realtors as a significant value-added improvement.

Simple investment with proven returns! We can take care of all the steps from the permitting to the switch on.

• A tax credit can provide significant savings. It reduces the amount of income tax you have to pay. Unlike a deduction, which reduces the amount of income subject to tax, a tax credit directly reduces the tax itself.
• As any other investments we can tailor the system according also to your financial needs. We can design different solutions and review together the payback time for each one. The accelerated depreciation is a great benefit that will reduce your investment.
• USDA provides guaranteed loan financing and grant funding to purchase or install renewable energy systems or make energy efficiency improvements for small businesses in eligible rural areas.
• Everything starts with your needs and the space you have available. Our target is to reduce your bill and be sure to cover your peak power needs. Most South Florida utilities give credit back for excess energy sent back to the grid. However, it is generally best to size a system based on the expected annual average for best financial return.
