Residential Solar

Residential Solar Benefits
Make your home an energy producer.  The benefits of residential solar systems extend well beyond the environment.  A solar electric system for your home will free you from increasing energy costs. A properly sized residential solar energy system can produce 100% of your homes energy usage.
Increase the value of your home.  Reducing your monthly utility bill dramatically increase the value of your home. Federal reports show that for every dollar saved in energy costs, home property value will increase by twenty dollars. (Source: EPA)
Take advantage of incentives.  There are Federal, State and Local incentives to install solar.

Solar provides clean energy.  The power your system generates reduces demand for carbon emitting energy sources.  Clean energy enables Americans to operate independently and continue to be a technology leader.
