There has never been a better time to add solar power to your New
Jersey home than today. Recent federal and state legislation has been passed to
encourage the growth of renewable energy sources by offering exceptional financial
incentives to homeowners and businesses.
Residential property owners taking advantage of these incentives are able to receive
a large discount off the installation price of a solar electric system, as well
as earn enough profit from the electricity produced by the system that they are
able to pay it off within a few years!
Solar electricity:
Is clean
It silently converts the sun's energy into electricity for use in your home, without pollution or suffering losses from transmission lines.
Is profitable
The savings achieved by generating your own electricity plus the generous incentives from the state and federal governments yield a return on your investment within 5 years and will pay dividends for 30+ years! It's much more secure than any stock market performance!
Adds value to your home
For every dollar saved by generating electricity from your solar system, it adds over $20 in value to your home (based on the National Home Appraisal Institute). A solar system that saves $2,000 in electricity each year will add over $40,000 to the value of the home.
* A solar system will NOT increase your property taxes!
Benefits the environment
Using electricity generated by solar avoids the need to use fossil fuels. Much of the electricity consumed in New Jersey is generated by burning coal causing emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide, and small amounts of mercury and cadmium. These pollutants contribute to global warming and are detrimental to the health of the community.
Relieves the utility grid
The national electrical grid infrastructure is aging and is vulnerable to damage from storms, brown-outs, and overloading due to the increased use of electricity in our homes and factories. Generating electricity at home relieves the grid to supply that electricity. As the need for electricity increases, it's in the best interest of homeowners to generate their own electricity in order to avoid future power flow problems.
Installing a solar energy system for your home is not only a sensible and worthwhile investment, it also provides a positive example for future generations.
