Why Solar?
FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY
You lose money every month you do not have solar on your roof!
Financing is available for Solar and other renewable energy products and services.
There are significant savings starting in the first month, every month (Long Island comparison)
- It costs nothing up front with compelling financing up to 30 years
- Save money every month, starting month 1
- Save $113,000 on projected costs of $136,000 over 25 yrs (see example)
- ROI 309% over 25 years to the homeowner (avg. 12.4% /yr)
- Initial G-race Manufacturer Solar rebate (free money) = $500
- Additional green purchases generate additional rebates
- Immediate increase in property value of $50,000 (see example below)
- CO2 emissions reduced over 25 years = 250,000 lbs (one house equivalent to planting 50 acres of trees)
Solar Increases Appraised Value
In The Appraisal Journal article: "More Evidence of Rational Market Values for Home Energy Efficiency" here is a key finding: “…home value increases by about $20 for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills...” See Appraisal Journal
Factor 20 x annual energy savings:
• 20 x annual electric savings
• 20 x $2,484 = $49,680
In our example, and according to The Appraisal Journal, there is an immediate increase in property value of almost $50,000 (more than 10% of 2009 LI median sales price)
