Solar power is clean and green. Conservation measures combined with renewable energy offer a real solution to the big problem of global climate change. Over its lifetime, a 5kW system will eliminate 150 tons of carbon dioxide — that’s like planting 4207 trees.

It’s also financially sound. Historically, electricity rates inflate at an annual rate of 9% in the northeast. As a co-generator, you lock in your rate for the lifetime of the system, creating long-term energy price stability and independence from the volatile global energy market. A solar power system on your home is a long-term, low-risk, high-return way to invest your money and will increase your property’s value. Significant financial incentives are currently available.

Currently, the typical payback period on a photovoltaic system is 4-6 years. After that, system owners enjoy free electricity that the system produces and Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SREC) payments. When most people see the financials, they say “It’s a no-brainer.”

You can’t put solar panels anywhere… If you are fortunate enough to have a good site for solar energy — no shade on your roof or a open area of land — congratulations! It’s worth a look!
