Benefits of Solar!
The U.S. solar market continues to grow year over year.  Never before has solar power been this available to American households. What are the reasons why so many homeowners choose to go solar these days? Here are the top 10 benefits of going solar:

1. Save 1000’s of DOLLARS!
Adding solar panels to your home can bring in monthly savings of well above $100 in many states. Extend this for the 25 years the typical length of a solar panel warranty, and this translates to over $30,000.

2. Start Saving IMMEDIATELY!
Solar ownership thru purchasing loan agreements have made it possible for homeowners to go solar for no money down. How does No Payments and No Interest for the first 18 Months sound to you.

3. Great Return-On-Investment!
If you choose to pay in cash or easy payment loan, the payback period is in many cases less than ten years.

4. Increase the Value of Your HOME!
Buying a home with solar panels translates into lower electricity costs. Solar panels will increase a home`s attractiveness on the market.

• A study conducted by National Renewable Energy Laboratory concluded that homes with solar panels sell 20% faster and for 17% more money.

• U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that the sales price of the average home increased $17,000 with solar panels.

5. Take Advantage of the INCENTIVES!
As of 2009, the $2,000 cap on the Federal Solar Tax Credit was lifted. You are now eligible for up to a 30% Federal Tax Credit of total system costs. This means you would save $7,500 on a solar system worth $25,000. Combine this with state and local rebates, Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs), and total costs could be cut in half. Take advantage of incentives while they last.

6. Solar is an INVESTMENT!
The utility companies are notorious for their fluctuating and unreliable electricity prices. There is clearly an upward trend. With solar panels and simple math, we can calculate how much electricity will be generated, and most importantly, at what price, for at least the next 25 years (fixed energy costs).

7. GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE!
Solar panel manufacturers include a 25-year warranty (also known as a performance guarantee) with their solar panels. The industry standard guarantees 80% performance after 25 years. The real lifespan of solar panels is much longer – your solar panels will likely generate a good amount of electricity 30-40 years down the line.

8. Save the ENVIRONMENT!
We know that the majority of homeowners choose to go solar because it makes good sense from a financial point of view. That being said, the environmental benefits are also clearly worth mentioning.

9. Create Energy INDEPENDENCE!
The U.S. relied on net imports for about 40% of the petroleum (crude oil and petroleum products) that we consumed in 2012. You can help to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign energy.

Solar is one step in the right direction.

10. Solar is EASY!
