Solar Roof Installation in Longview

COST-EFFECTIVE

Producing solar energy at your home means you will no longer be reliant on the ever-changing prices of utility companies. You will be producing the energy needed to power your home, and will no longer have to pay the high prices that utility companies set. In addition to saving on energy bills, you may also be eligible for tax credits and incentives when you choose to install solar panels at your home or business. There may be Federal, state, and local tax incentives available to you.

TAX CREDITS & REBATES

As of 2009, the $2,000 cap on the Federal Solar Tax Credit is lifted. You may be eligible get 26 percent of total system costs back (equipment and installation). This means you could save $7,500 on a solar system worth $25,000. Combine this with state and local rebates, Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs), and your total costs could possibly be cut in half. Take advantage of incentives while they last.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Solar power provides energy independence. Similar to the energy security boost, solar power provides the great benefit of energy independence. Again, the fuel, or rather photons from the sun, for solar panels cannot be bought or monopolized. It is free for all to use. Once you have solar panels on your roof, you have an essentially independent source of electricity that is all yours. This is important for individuals, but also for cities, counties, states, countries, and even companies.

LOWER UTILITY BILLS

The utility companies are notorious for their fluctuating and unreliable electricity prices. There is clearly an upward trend. With solar panels and simple math, we can calculate how much electricity will be generated, and most importantly, at what price, for at least the next 20 years (fixed-energy costs).
