Why Solar
Solar electricity makes sense if...
- You have access to direct sunlight
- Current electricity costs are high
- Governments provide incentives to make solar more
affordable
So What?
Here on the east coast, we meet all three of the above criteria.
You might think that solar is only for places like Arizona or
Florida. In reality, the largest market for solar in the world is
Germany, which gets as much sun as Alaska - so you can see that our
area certainly gets enough sunlight to make solar make sense. Just
check for trees on your and neighboring properties.
New Jersey has among the highest electric rates in the
nation--and no one likes paying their electric bill! So do
something about it. Powering your appliances with solar energy will
not only reduce or eliminate your electric bill, but you could
generate income, in the form of SREC's in New Jersey, as well as
create a positive environmental impact and lessen your dependence
on costly fossil fuels.
The government sees the massive benefits associated with solar
energy, and that is why they have created incentives to help you go
solar. Federal tax benefits or grants, as well as state rebates
help make solar affordable so more people can sign up today to make
a difference.
"The amount of sunshine energy that hits the
surface of the Earth every minute is greater than the total amount
of energy that the world's human population consumes in a
year!"
