Making The Choice To Go Green

Look into the different ways to pay for the system. Do you have to have the money for the entire system upfront, or does your installer offer a leasing option? Can you do some things now and other things later. Just like any home renovation project make sure you talk to several contractors to get the best price and best contractor that you can. Whatever the salesperson tells you should be in writing in the contract.

Do not forget to fill out the paperwork for all of the rebates and tax incentives that are available. A buyer who installs a $25,000 solar-panel system on his or her roof will get $7,500 in income-tax credits.

Think about how your electricity needs are going to change in the future and have a plan for the changes. There might be other additions to your house or family that make you require more power as you get older.

There is no substitute for research. When all the signs point to making this change, go ahead and do it. And enjoy the idea of helping the environment.
