Solar Buying Tips
Save money with purchasing a photovoltaic solar system with a free webinar.

Rich Hessler Solar now offers a free live webinar giving home and business owners the inside scoop on buying a photovoltaic solar panel system. Right now, the federal, state, and local government have rebates that can reduce the price of a system by 50%. This means that with the energy rates of today, you can have the system paid off with savings in 8-10 years.

If the increase in electricity rates is accounted into the equation, the system could pay itself off much faster. There is no doubt that the price of electricity is increasing. It is only going to get worse with government mandates. Utility companies are required to provide 20% of electricity from renewable sources by 2020. If the utility companies cannot meet this goal, they will be force to buy renewable energy certificates. These certificates can be sold by anyone producing renewable electricity. The price of these certificates will increase if demand increases, which will happen if utility companies cannot meet the 20% federal mandate.

As a result, you will be paying for the renewable energy with a high electricity bill. In addition, the average utility bill will increase in order to pay for new capital, the sources of renewable energy. So either way, you will be paying a lot more money to switch to renewable energy. The only question is, where do you want to put your money? You can install renewable energy on your home, costing money now but saving money for the rest of your life, or you can wait and pay the utility company to install renewable energy through a higher utility bill.
