The Benefits of Solar

Solar for the Environment and our Children

Solar electricity is a renewable source of energy that will not decrease with use. Whatever you use today, will in no way decrease the amount that can be used tomorrow, next year, or in a hundred years.

Your solar electric system is silent and non-polluting. It will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other substances released into the atmosphere that contribute substantially to global warming, climate change, water & soil contamination, and major health risks including asthma & respiratory tract infections.

Solar as an Investment

Solar electric systems increase the resale value of your home. A detailed study by the National Appraisal Institute estimated that your home’s value would increase by $20 for every $1 reduction in your annual utility bills. This ratio can only be expected to increase as energy costs continue to rise. For example, if you spend $14,000 on a 5 kW system you could save approximately $800 in utility bills in the first year. According to the study, this immediately adds $16,000 to the resale value of your home. The system is paid off!

Solar Incentives and Rebates

In Colorado, the solar rebates can cover up to 60% of the cost of your system. Couple that with the 30% solar Federal Tax credit and there isn’t a better time to invest in solar.

Solar Sells your home faster

Homes in Colorado are now being built “solar-ready” or solar powered. Today’s home buyer is environmentally conscious and looks for increased value and savings potential.
