When you are looking at the cost of SOLAR POWER, you have to think long-term. Often there is sticker shock. When you are looking at the numbers, you have to think about it as an investment. In the end, the question is, would you rather own your power or rent it?
So how much do solar-electric systems cost? An initial estimate on an average size solar-electric system might come in at $20,000 to $40,000 — or more. An average American household can expect to spend more than $100,000 over the next 25 years on electricity. Buying a solar-electric system is like buying that electricity up front, and depending on the details of your situation, making that investment now can save you a lot of money in the future. It also creates immediate cash flow and increases the value of your home, which can help offset that sticker shock. New federal tax credits help, too. These renewable energy incentives give you a 30 percent dollar-for-dollar tax credit for the price of the panels, and if your state offers additional incentives, you can end up saving as much as 50 percent!
If you are serious about installing solar panels, there is a certain amount of effort involved in working out the details. It's just like any other construction project. Like a home remodel, you will need to perform your due diligence to make an informed, smart decision.

Environmental IMPACT and Financial SAVINGS.
|
| Many business and home owners choose to use solar energy because of the postive impact it will have on their finances and the environment. Global warming and climate change are major issues facing the world today. Unlike fossil fuels, solar energy does not produce the harmful pollutants responsible for increasing the greenhouse effect which leads to global warming. Solar energy is a clean, sustainable source of energy that can be used for SOLAR ELECTRICITY, SOLAR HEATING, and SOLAR LIGHTING. By taking advantage of solar energy for your business or home, you can be part of the solution while saving money in the process. |
By using solar electricity you will:
|
| • Increase the value of your home or business. The accepted rule for real property appraisal is that for every $1/year that is saved by using solar, multiply that by $20. The average solar home may save $2500/year, therefore the increased appraisal value is $50,000 on day of install! |
| • Eliminate or greatly reduce your utilitiy bills. The money you are currently paying to your utilitiy company will now go to pay for your solar panels until they are paid off. This means that you will not be paying the annual utility power bill rate increase for the life of your solar power system. Typically a solar power system's life is 30 years, with a GUARANTEED 80% output at the 25 year mark. |
| • Reduce your carbon footprint, becoming a responsible global citizen. |
| • Reduce America's need for foreign oil. The less foreign oil we import, the more secure we are domestically from foreign manipulation of oil prices. The more secure we are from foreign oil manipulation, the less we have to rely on our military to secure any foreign oil supplies in order to keep our economy running. GO SOLAR! |
