By installing a PV Solar System, you will reduce your carbon footprint, create energy independence and be a part of a growing trend that future generations are sure to appreciate.
Q. Does solar energy make financial sense?
A. Increasing the energy efficiency of your home adds a significant value to your home. In fact, for every $1 in annual utility savings, your home value will increase by $20. This means that if your solar system offsets $1,000 in electricity costs, the value of your home is increased by $20,000. Your system will nearly pays for itself the day it is installed and commissioned on your home.
Q. Is solar energy affordable?
A. The truth is-- you are already affording it. If you are currently spending $200 each month ($2400 a year) or $24,000 over the next 10 years and factor in a conservative yearly increase of 4.5% (national average based on PUC-public utilities commission), you will have spent $35,677 with absolutely no return on your dollars.
Q. Should I wait for technology to improve the efficiency of solar energy?
A. The industry projects that an additional 2-3% of efficiency may be available for a module over the next 10-15 years which is insignificant. You can invest in a high quality system that is warranted for 25 years and has a life expectancy of 50 years.
Q. Will the price come down over time?
A. Substantial subsidies and tax credits are available to you today
by the state of Ohio and the Federal Government that will significantly reduce the
cost of a solar system. As the cost of solar goes down, so will the subsidy amount.
Why spend $35,667 over the next 10 years and then spend another $35,000 on a solar
system in 10 years when you can start producing your own electricity today to avoid
these costs?
