Today, renewable energy is a compelling investment, not merely a luxury for the environmentally conscious. Our clients choose solar and wind energy for a variety of reasons:
Incentives: Federal incentives make solar and wind power an attractive financial option. These can include tax credits for a percentage of the cost of installing your system, special financing options and other money-saving benefits. Most of the systems we design qualify for a 30% Federal tax credit!
Rate of return: Most solar and wind systems bear a rate of between 3%-8%, depending on your tax rate and the cost of your utility services.
Abundance: Coal-fired power plants are quickly using up a non-renewable resource. Sunlight and wind are both resources that can be relied upon indefinitely.
Reliability: Solar and wind energy systems require little maintenance and can be more reliable than the utility grid (especially with a battery backup).
Home value: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a solar home will sell twice as quickly as a home without solar. As energy prices rise, the value of the solar energy system rises, which increases your home value.
