As a homeowner in the Fresno area, you are aware of the increasing cost of energy for your home HVAC system. By choosing solar panel installation from a professional company, it is possible to supplement or fully replace your dependence on the power grid with your power produced on the roof of your home.
In addition to saving money in the future on your electrical bills, or perhaps even eliminated electrical bills, by choosing solar panel installation you are also helping the environment. Solar energy is a fully renewable and sustainable resource, and new technology in the production of solar panels is even making this process more environmentally friendly.
Reducing the Costs
Homeowners in the Fresno area can still take advantage of specialized programs that help to reduce the cost of solar panel installation. Companies installing these panel systems, including Northwest Exteriors, can assist homeowners in the application process to receive tax credits and rebates.
It is important to keep in mind that rebates and tax credits are not in place past certain deadline dates. If you are considering installing solar paneling on your home, talk to a professional installation service to verify you qualify for the rebate or tax credit and the deadline for installation to receive the funding.
Options to Consider
Once the panels are installed, the installation service fully tests the system and reviews using the power from the solar panels with the homeowner. From this point, there are several options that the homeowner can choose.
It is possible to start to generate cash flow from the solar panels by providing energy into the system. This is often an ideal option for homes with a small energy use requirement.
It is also possible to simply store your energy in the local utility grid. This is called net-metering, and it eliminates the need for batteries in your home to store surplus power until it is required.
