There are several undisputed benefits of generating your own electricity using solar. Advances in solar photovoltaic (PV) technology and battery-based energy management systems have paved the way to make solar a viable option for most homes or businesses.
Simultaneous to equipment advances has been a substantial drop in the installation cost to the consumer. By combining drop-in prices and incentives such as tax credits, aggressive depreciation schedules, grant programs, and various financing options, solar has an attractive economic proposition.
How Solar Works
1. Your solar modules absorb the sun’s rays and convert the energy into DC electricity.
2. Because we use AC electricity in our homes and businesses, an inverter turns the DC electricity into AC electricity.
3. The AC electricity is fed into your service offsetting utility purchases. If you are not using the energy, it can be stored into a battery for later consumption or exported to the utility for credit.
Save Money and Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
An immediate reduction of your electric utility bill.
Reduce your tax liability through federal and state tax credits and equipment depreciation.
Reduce the cost of installation through grants and other incentive programs.
Several financing options to minimize your upfront investment but still allow you to reduce the cost of your electricity. Residential, $0 down options, commercial leasing, Power Purchase Agreements for Government, and other not-for-profit entities are available.
Positively affect the environment by reducing the amount of coal and gas needed to generate your electricity.
The components of solar modules are recyclable.
Build Equity
Reducing the energy costs for your home, business, or farm increases the value of the property.
Installing a solar array naturally increases the value of your property in the same manner as remodeling or building an addition.
Your solar array generates electricity by exposure to the sun through the solar energy system. With the money you save on your electric bill you can save for a rainy day or apply to other expenses.
Dependable Technology
A solar array has no moving parts which means very little maintenance.
