                 Top 5 Reasons to Go Solar

1.) Save $50/month On Average

What would you do with an extra $50/month? It might not sound like much, but really think about it for a minute. You could just pocket the $600/year. Or you could join a gym. Or you could start cooking with fancier ingredients, or you could go see all of the Oscar nominated movies while they're still in theaters, or you even make monthly payments on a shiny new motorcycle. In a lot of little ways, you could literally change your life and create exciting new experiences with that money.

Well, that's how much the average household saves by switching to solar power. $50/month or $600/year. Further, there are federal tax credits and several state-by-state incentive programs in place to persuade homeowners to make the switch.

2.) Save On Installation And Make It A Good Investment

Already as a give-in, you save 30% on installation of photovoltaic panels through the Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit established in The Energy Policy Act of 2005. There are other incentives as well, too many to list here! Click here to search by state.

3.) Be A Force for Positive Change

Obviously in a perfect world solar installation would be free, but 30% or more off approved expenditures is not too shabby. It’s also worth noting that, in a down economy, the solar energy sector has been a great job creator. All of that aside, to be convinced to go solar, you need only to take a closer look at your current utility bills, as well as the way your home is powered right now. Power plants burn fossil fuels all day and night to generate electricity, as if our cars don’t produce enough greenhouse gas emissions!

Have you ever considered yourself a leader? An influencer? Well if you go solar, you can bet your bottom dollar that your home is going to turn heads and get people thinking. Your neighbors are going to want to know, is it worth it? When you tell them yes, it’s worth it, and they get a PV installation of their own and thank you for opening their eyes to the future – well that’s the day you can go ahead and pat yourself on the back.

4.) Electricity Prices Are On The Rise
Not only are utility companies hiking prices by a factor of nearly 2%/year on average for electric, but consumers are using more and more power as new technologies emerge. Looking at your utility bills really is guaranteed to keep getting worse unless you decide to take action.
5.) You Have More Options When You Switch To Solar
Solar panels, converters and thermal units come in a variety of styles and prices to fix your individual needs. Additionally, it is a competitive industry right now, so you will have your choice of several providers. This stands in contrast to the traditional electric power grid, which has been nearly 100% monopolized.
