Our Sun provides us with all the energy that we need to power our homes, transportation and factories. And now with solar energy storage options finally becoming affordable, their is absolutely no need for dirty fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.

Solar energy contributes to our country's national securiy by providing energy independence, and provides well paying jobs for Americans across the country. To encourage the use and expansion of solar enegy, our government has introduced solar tax credits, rebates and other financial incentives for the installation of solar power systems on our homes and businesses. As a result, of these incentives, the net cost of these solar panel systems can be reduced by up to 30 to 50 percent.

For example, a typical 6 kW solar system with an installed cost of $18,500 would qualify for a solar tax credit of $4,950.00, and that's only if you apply the federal solar tax credit. If your state or utility company offers additional solar incentives then your net cost is reduced even further.

And even better news is the fact that pricing for the installation of a solar energy system has dropped to historic levels. When these solar tax credits and other financial incentives are combined with today's much lower pricing for solar, the return on investment for a modern solar system can be as low as 3 to 4 years.

Today's maintenance free solar systems have a typical life expectancy of up to 25 to 30 years. Imagine all of the money that you'll save over that period of time. And by adding a battery pack to your system, imagine never having to experience another power outage.

You've got to hurry though, the 30% federal solar tax credit is set to expire on December 31st 2019. Your system must be designed, permitted, installed and commissioned before this date in order to qualify for the full 30% federal solar tax credit.
