pv panels prices
More and more people are considering alternative sources to supplement their power usage in their homes. How about you? With the high prices of electricity, gas and oil, we all are looking for some way to cut down on our costs. One of the alternatives many have found is to install solar panels on their homes.
When considering installing solar panels, there are two types of panels available, Photovoltaic (PV) panels and Thermal panels. Thermal panels can be used to heat your hot water, warm your swimming pool and supplement your heat. The Photovoltaic panels absorb UV light which is then converted to clean electricity. The energy is then stored in batteries and can then be used to power your home.
Are you aware there are income tax credits available for qualified homes and systems? You can get a tax credit on your federal tax return for up to 30% of the cost of the panels. In addition, most states also have a tax credit or rebate when you install solar panels for your home. So when considering the cost of purchasing and installing solar panels for your home be sure to factor in the income tax credits in addition to the energy cost savings. With all the above incentives, you can expect to recover your costs in three to five years. Plus you can feel good about going green and helping the environment.
Converting to solar energy is not as complicated as you might think. So where do you start? There are lots of books on the market that discuss incorporating solar panels in your home. And of course the internet is a great resource. There are all kinds of web-pages devoted to solar panels from do it yourself – build your own panels to understanding how they work and where to find companies to install them for you.
So whether you want to make them yourself or pay to have them installed – harnessing solar energy is a great way to help control your home energy costs.
