Q: What are the benefits of installing a Solar Power System today?
A: There are many reasons for installing a Solar Power System today:
- Protect yourself against rising utility rates. As our global population and economy grows, so does our demand for energy. We are also faced with declining amounts of fossil fuels. These two factors work against us, the consumers. Demand is increasing, and supply is decreasing. Rates will continue to increase, as the shortage causes price spikes. Generally speaking, utility rates are rising faster than inflation. You can lock yourself in now! With a Solar Power System, your initial investment is your cost of electricity for the next 40 years! Being a producer of your own power, you are insulated against the future rate increases.
- Solar Power is a Good Investment. Your initial rate of return can be as high as 10%. The more that the rates go up, the higher your rate of return. The investment is as profitable as any other type of investment. With the reliability of Solar products, and the equipment on your roof, an investment doesn't get any safer.
- Right now, the government has incentive programs that will help pay for your institution's system. Many states have implemented Solar Energy Rebate programs, to help offset the up front costs of a System. In California, the programs will typically cover about 30% of your installation cost. That is a HUGE REBATE! If you purchase a system costing $25,000, your rebate would be in the $7500 range. Your entire system cost would be reduced to $17,500. You do need to hurry, as more people enroll in the rebate program, the rebate level declines. Currently, the rebate is $3.25 per installed watt, and will soon reduce to $2.95 per watt. Amounts will continue to decline until the program funds are depleted. Follow the links below for more information, regarding your specific situation.
- Using Solar Power is environmentally responsible. As a producer of your own, clean solar power, you are giving us all a breath of fresh air. By now, we all know about our climate's delicate state. Our C0² pollution is causing catostrophic global climate changes. The changes will continue until we all do the right thing, turning away from fossil fuels and using clean renewable energy sources instead. Your small power system can make a huge difference. A small 3k watt power system will remove 5,293 lbs of co² emissions annually. That is equivalent of planting 17,822 square feet of trees, or not driving 6,352 miles - LA-NY 2.5 times. You are making a difference.
