Solar Benefits

Homeowners nationwide looking to preserve the environment and save money by reducing their electric bills are installing residential solar energy panels. There are four main benefits of installing solar energy systems: photovoltaic systems significantly reduce or eliminate your electric bill, they provide clean power without burning fossil fuels, they are low-risk financial investments that could increase the value of your home dramatically, and federal and state financial incentives are offered. In addition, CIS Solar also offers additional financial incentives when we provide you with a new roof as well as a residential solar panel solution.


Saving Money with Solar Energy

Electricity prices have been increasing at an annual rate of 6.7% since 1970. Installing solar technology from CIS Solar will result in an immediate reduction in your electric bill and protect you from future price increases. Net metering, which is available in most states, is another way to lower your electricity bill. Net metering allows for excess energy created by your system to be purchased—in the form of a bill credit—by your utility company.

Support the Environment

Fossil fuels are the leading cause of global warming and air pollution. Fossil fuels produce such large amounts of CO2 that it takes thousands of trees to absorb the amount of CO2 produced by a single fossil fuel. Solar energy is clean and sustainable, helping our environment by not releasing pollutants into the air. Solar energy not only reduces the amount of fossil fuels burned, but provides a renewable source of power that—when utilized for electricity power—does not emit any gases.


Add Value to Your Home

One of the greatest benefits for homeowners when switching to solar energy is that a solar system can actually increase the value of your home without increasing your property taxes. PV “System Resale Value” for your home is based upon research published in the Appraisal Journal, which concluded that home values increase by $20,000 for every $1,000 reduction in annual electricity bills. Installing a solar system can actually increase the value of your home more than the cost of the system itself, particularly where state and federal incentives are available.


Federal, State and Local Incentives

The most standard incentives are solar power tax credits, sometimes as high as 35 percent of system cost, and rebates. Under the new Solar Initiative, solar rebates and solar tax incentives can cut the cost of your solar panel system by as much as 60%.

The requirements for a solar panel electrical system, also known as a photovoltaic system (PV system), are the following: the system must provide electricity for the residence and must meet applicable fire and electrical code requirements. In addition, the solar system must be placed in service at your home before December 31, 2016.

The Federal Government is currently giving the following tax rebates for Solar Energy Systems:
