Now is the Time to Go Solar
A 100 percent renewable energy source, home solar
power systems earn a 30 percent tax credit for homeowners by the IRS when
installed this year. Older home solar systems required large, expensive battery
banks. Now, with the ability to net-meter, all excess energy generated by the
solar panels flows backwards through the power meter to the energy grid. The
power company acts as the battery bank. During the day, the solar system
generates the electricity needed for normal consumption; in the evening, the
homeowner uses the power stored in the grid.
Major savings come from the solar system costing much
less monthly than traditional sources of electricity. An average solar system (7-9kW)
will save the homeowner anywhere from $40,000 to well over $60,000 over a 20-year
period. More importantly, the ROI is immediate. The money you would be paying
to the electric company is now funding your system.
No money out-of-pocket is needed to change over to
renewable energy. Once a solar system is installed, simply turn it on and it
will start producing your electricity all day, every day.
