How is rooftop solar energy affordable?
Efficient and trusted technologies, cash rebates and tax incentives NOW make solar energy accessible and affordable. If you are building a new home, if you need a new roof or if you have any desire to become energy efficient and independent, then why not get your electricity from the sun? If you already have or plan on getting a metal roof, you can also get a building integrated(BIPV) thin film solar laminate system and it won't cost you much more.
According to the Deptartment of Energy, the Average Household Yearly Power Usage is 10,656 KWh/Year. This chart shows the cost of a system to power this household as well as the incentives for the system.
Now you are producing your own electricity! If you are going to pay taxes at the end of the year, why not pay it towards a new roof?
What about your electric bill?
While your rooftop solar system generates and collects electricity, your electric meter runs backwards. Your electric company will credit your account in kilowatt-hours (kWh) each billing cycle. This significantly reduces the amount of electricity that you buy, kWh for KWh, meaning that each month; your bottom line energy cost is less. Also, you will never run out of electricity because if you use more energy than your solar system is producing, then you will receive energy from the grid.
