The Benefits Of Solar Energy For Homeowners:
- You’ll become energy independent by producing your own source of electricity. A properly designed system can produce and offset up to 100% of your electricity usage over the course of a year.
- Solar electric systems and battery backup currently qualify for a 30% federal tax credit, making now an opportune time to invest in solar.
- Most of our customers are seeing a system payback period of 7 to 12 years, yet they will reliably produce clean energy for 30+ years. Once your system pays for itself, you may enjoy 18-24 years or more of nearly free electricity (the utility still charges a minimum monthly delivery charge, currently at $15 per month).
- Buyers see the benefits of buying a home that can generate its own electricity. Homebuyers were willing to pay a premium of $15,000 more for a home with an average-sized solar system.
- Solar power is environmentally friendly. When you install a solar electric system, you are taking real and tangible action to reduce pollution and conserve natural resources, all while harnessing an unlimited resource.
