Economic & Environmental
Solar Benefits

Economic Benefits
Why pay for electricity when you can start making your own?  That is one of the top benefits of solar energy: utility cost savings through energy independence.  With current state and federal rebates, tax credits and grants, you can expect an economic payback on your solar system in as little as 6 years, meaning once the system has paid for itself in energy bill savings you have free electricity for its remaining life.  To the right are some of the current incentives you can take advantage of.

Environmental Benefits
Another major benefit of solar energy is its environmentally-friendly power.  Solar panels generate electricity by converting light through the “photovoltaic effect,” without transmitting any harmful emissions.  A typical size system prevents more than 5 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere a year!  By utilizing this 100% clean energy, you reduce pollution and your carbon footprint with a sustainable solution.
