There are two types of people opening up their utility bills. Ones that are paying out the nose; and ones that are getting money back from the utility company. You could be one that is getting money back every month. The answer to the question running through your head is right out your front door. It’s solar energy. Solar Water Heaters. Renewable energy is the answer. Tax Credits are being given out by the Federal government just for making the switch.
Saving money is always a big deal. If you decide to make the jump to solar power in your home, you may be eligible for Federal, State and Local Government Rebates and Tax Incentives as a home owner. No more rising electric bills. Seeing your bill actually go down every month, until you see a zero balance and then money coming back to you. Nice thoughts aren’t they. They systems end up paying for themselves with increased resale home values.
If you live in a state that allows Net Metering, you can sell back unused or extra energy; if you have a solar or wind energy system. Any extra that you produce will earn you credits that you will essentially sell to the utility company and it will help to offset the cost of your system. It’s a win win situation.
Solar technology comes in forms other than water heaters as well. There are Solar Panels that have been around for quite awhile, Solar Kits, Solar Ventilation, and Solar Inverters just to name a few. Solar Panels are just what the name says, when you purchase the panels that is what you get; just the panels. Solar Kits are a bit different. In a Solar Kit you generally receive all the components you need for a complete installation although it does vary depending on the kit that you purchase. Attic Fans are an example of Solar Ventilation. Solar powered attic fans help to reduce air conditioning costs, they extend the roofs life, and help to eliminate ice dams in cold weather.
With all the companies that are developing products that take advantage of renewable resources; it makes sense to look into what is available out there for residential customers. Federal and Local Tax Credits, selling back energy to your utility companies, saving on your energy bills each month. What more could you ask for. With all this to entice you toward renewable resources, you also have mother earth whispering in your ear.
The conversion to solar and wind energy will have a huge planetary affect and the reduction of every ones carbon footprint will be massive. The residential aspect is just the first thing to be conquered. Once everyone is on board there’s no telling where renewable energy will take us.
Bigger dreams to power smaller things with renewable things. Solar energy is where it is at. Water heaters to cars. Attic fans to cell phones. Your wallet and Mother Earth will thank you.
Plenty of hot water for cleaning is provided by a good hot water heater. You can build a DIY solar hot water for far less cost.
