GOING SOLAR
SAVES MONEY
Why should you buy electricity from the utility company when you have a better option? As an owner of a solar asset, you will offset your current utility bill by producing energy at a cheaper rate than you would generally be able to purchase it – lowering the overall basis. Worried about the upfront investment? You only need to make a small down payment of about 5-20% of the cost of the installation. However, you can recoup about 50% of the costs in dollar-for-dollar tax deductions in the first year alone. Also, financing the project helps stabilize your monthly payment. Your solar payments will be predictable and fixed for the next 25-30 years. Your new utility bill will be reduced to what you consume above and beyond what your panel produces.
