Solar Electric
There are many benefits to "Going Solar".
Lower Your Electric Bill
Excess power generated from your solar system during the day can be sold to the utility company at high peak rates, when their demand from other customers is at its highest. As you sell your electricity, your bi-directional meter actually spins backwards! When the sun has set you pull energy back from the utility grid, but at low off-peak rates. How much you off set your utility bill is based on your family's electricity usage and the size of your solar system. Your GoEnergySmart consultant will help you design the system that is right for you and significantly decrease your electric bill and your carbon footprint.
Stimulus Incentives Reduce the Price
Incentives from State and Federal governments encourage homeowners and business to switch to solar. State governments offer rebates that directly reduce the price of solar. The federal government allows you to deduct 30% of your system cost off your federal tax return at year end. Your GoEnergySmart consultant will identify which state rebates and federal tax credits you can take advantage of to maximize your savings.
Long Term Low Electricity Rates
On average, electricity prices have increased about 5% per year for the last 30 years. When you choose solar, you lock in low electricity prices and are no longer dependent on foreign oil or a volatile energy market. As utility rates continue to rise in the future, your investment becomes increasingly valuable.
Positive Return on Investment
Installing GoEnergySmart Solar Electric is an intelligent financial choice. Depending on how you choose to pay for your system, you can experience an immediate return on your investment.
A Solar Investment Increases the Value of Your Home
A recent study from the Appraisal Institute demonstrated that the selling price of homes increased by $20 for every $1 decrease in annual utility bills.
