Solar Energy: Efficient, Responsible, Affordable

A home solar panel system dramatically lowers your electricity bill while producing clean, renewable energy. Over its 30+ year lifetime, an average sized residential solar power system will save you thousands of dollars and keep 220,000 lbs. of greenhouse gases out of the environment. Plus, solar rebates and tax incentives make solar an even smarter investment.

How Does a Residential Solar Power System Work?
Your solar power system is connected to your electric company’s grid. During the day, your house uses solar power generated by your panels. If you use less energy than you produce, the surplus energy goes back to the grid, spinning your meter backwards. At night, your solar home draws on power stored in the grid.

Solar Energy: A Smart Investment
A home solar panel system is a low-risk investment with an ROI of around 12%. Conventional electricity rates have been rising an average of 6.7% each year in Minnesota; going solar is equivalent to buying 30+ years of electricity at a low fixed rate. You may also qualify for rebates and incentives. The federal government has extended the 30% Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) through 2016. You may be eligible for $20,000 or more by installing a medium sized residential solar power system.

Myth: Solar Energy is too expensive
Today solar energy is extremely affordable.  Due to technological advancements in manufacturing, and government rebates, the price of solar energy has dramatically decreased in recent years, making it cheaper than the fossil fuels used by utility companies.  Installing a solar panel system on your home will save you money each month, increase the value of your home, and preserve our planet for future generations.

Solar Energy: Now is the time
Right now government rebates are at an all-time high, making solar energy cheaper than ever.  We have seen a dramatic drop in solar pricing in recent years, from $15 per watt to as low as $1.50 per watt.  But government rebates will not last forever, so do not delay, take advantage of this historic opportunity while it lasts!
