Many home improvements that you will make, will not add the same value that you put into them. Solar energy will save you money month after month. Solar panels are not an expense, they are actually an investment that will pay handsome returns often rivaling those of more traditional investments such as stocks or bonds.
Utility providers often raise energy costs, but your cost for a solar system is the same monthly until paid off. (or for the length of your PPA agreement.)
Unlike conventional power, solar doesn't produce harmful emissions that hurt the enviornment. Don't you want to be part of the green movement? The clock is ticking...
With a solar system, you can generate free power over a 25-30 year life cycle. Even if you do not produce all of the energy you consume, your utility bills will be much smaller and save you lots of money.
The future of energy is in renewables. By converting to solar energy today you will be a step ahead of the rest. Just think the future is available today!
Did you know that buildings and homes equipped with on-site solar systems have higher property values, sometimes selling twice as fast and at a premium of 3-4% over similar homes in the same neighborhood?
Solar energy takes advantage of the sun rays to generate heat or electricity. It is an infinitely renewable resource and unique for its ability to generate energy in a quiet, clean, and consistent manner.
In layperson terms, photovoltaic cells are comprised of a semiconductor material such as silicon. Added to the silicon are the elements phosphorous and boron which create conductivity within the cell and activate the movement of electrons. The electrons move across the cell when activated by sunlight and into the electrical circuit hooked up to the solar panel.
There is a 30-percent federal investment tax credit (ITC) for solar energy systems in place until December 31st, 2019. Both residential and commercial customers can take advantage of this tax credit, and it applies to all three major types of solar technology; photovoltaic, solar heating & cooling, and concentrating solar technology.
Solar photovoltaic panels require little maintenance, so there is little to need to wipe or dust. It is, however, important to place panels where they will remain clear of shade and debris. Thus you will have to wipe them off if too much snow or leaves fall on them.
