Want to keep life simple without giving up the comforts? Our product line focuses on alternative energy systems components (and energy-saving products) that are the most user-friendly for the best price. We work with you to ensure that you get a system customized to your cruising style and location.

Our featured product is the KISS High Output wind generator made in Trinidad, West Indies, and rated the #1 wind generator afloat in a well-known and highly respected sailing equipment survey! You'll see the KISSmobile at many of the major sailboat shows and gatherings.

Unfortunately, the KISSmobile in its old age has become a visual disgrace and has been replaced by a white Ford F350, a slide-in camper, and a trailer pulled behind... quite a lengthy beast to maneuver and to park!

Please visit our Products page to see more great stuff that fits the KISS principle.

Florida Solar Contractor Certification

John passed his Florida State Solar Contractor's Exam. Along with his years of experience living with renewable energy, conducting seminars on solar power and wind power, and designing and installing systems for customers, this further qualifies him to do residential photovoltaic consultation, site surveys and system designs.

John is willing to work closely with your electrician during installation to ensure quality. And he can assist you with the paperwork required to qualify you for the substantial Florida State solar rebates and federal tax credits available for grid-tied solar electric systems.

Questions About Solar?

Solar panels at EcoFarm in Florida

As we've worked with our customers to help them pick the best solar energy solution, we've compiled a list of commonly asked questions, and our answers, into a Solar Energy FAQ. You might also be interested in analyzing your onboard or onland energy requirements using our Energy Audit Worksheet (download chart | download instructions).

Hotwire Enterprises recently designed and installed the first-ever solar grid inter-tie system in Hillsborough County, Florida. Our customer, EcoFarm of Plant City, is now producing its solar power for home and business as well as feeding occasional surplus electricity back to the power grid!

Hotwire Has Moved AGAIN!

We're still in Tarpon Springs, Florida, a picturesque little town on the Anclote River about four miles up-river from the Gulf of Mexico.

Tarpon Springs is at the northern terminus of peninsular Florida's Gulf Coast Intra-Coastal Waterway. We're still within walking distance for transients tied up at the City Marina in the heart of Tarpon Springs' Greek sponge-diving tourist center and Greek cuisine heaven!! (And don't miss the belly-dancing on the weekends!)

We're just 3 short blocks north of the bridge over the Anclote River and then one block west. Our new address is 102 West Fulton Street, Tarpon Springs, FL, 34689. It's only 2 blocks north of our previous shop but a much shorter commute for us! Phones, fax and e-mails have not changed.

We know the best places in town to eat and lots of great places along the river to get a cold sundowner and watch the sun go down. Give us a call or come on over!
