Residential Solar – Overview
|
Why go solar? Why do it today?
There are many reasons to go solar right now, but you only need to choose one...
|
|
Environmental Impact
|
Solar power is a quiet, clean, in-exhaustible energy resource that can replace the fossil fuels we currently use to produce electricity. This means fewer toxic pollutants go into the air we breath and the water we drink.
|
|
Fixed Electricity Rates
|
Washington has enjoyed inexpensive electricity for decades thanks to our abundant hydroelectric resources, but we are running out of streams to harness. As our regional demand grows our affordable 8 cents/kWh rates could quickly climb to the 30 cents plus that you find in California. Going solar now protects you against increasing utility rates and locks in your electricity costs
|
|
Reduce Your Electric Bills
|
Net metering allows you to produce your own energy and get paid for every kWh you generate. This means lower monthly bills for you and your family.
|
|
Government Incentives
|
The combination of federal, state, and local incentives currently available can reduce the cost of your solar installation by up to 40%. They make right now a great time to go solar. The government supports solar power and wants to help you make it happen.
|
|
National Energy Independence
|
Solar power is one way that you can directly help our nation reduce its dependence upon foreign fuel sources.
|
|
Disaster Relief
|
The Puget Sound region is lucky to be relatively unaffected by natural disasters, but the danger still exists. When such an event does happen solar power will allow you to continue running critical functions until the utility company can restore power.
|
|
Solar is Fun and Feels Good
|
All of the above reasons are great motivation for going solar, but solar power doesn’t have to be somber and serious all the time. It can be fun, too. Enjoy your new solar power system and feel good about telling your friends how great it works.
