The Facts About Solar…
Imagine time travel allowing you to lock in gasoline prices at $2.00 per gallon forever or secure a 40% discount on the first half-tank whenever you fill up. Who wouldn't take that opportunity?
This parallels the benefits of solar energy. Instead of gasoline costs, it's your home's electric bill that's affected. With solar power, every dollar saved from not paying the power company stays in your pocket, as you take control of your rates.
Visualize your energy bill as a perpetual lease—you'll always owe something. Solar power offers the potential to break free from those payments and attain energy independence.
The urgency to switch to solar grows as incentives diminish. Presently in the USA, homeowners adopting solar enjoy a 30% Federal Tax Credit. In essence, this means you can reclaim 30% of the entire solar system cost if you pay federal income tax—an equivalent of a 30% government discount.
