Save $ with Solar Electric

With rising energy costs, many homeowners are asking, "Is there any relief?" The answer is YES! Thousands of homeowners in California have done their research and found solar to be a cost-effective, environmentally responsible way to reduce or zero their electric bills. There is some satisfaction in a solution that reduces dependence on the supply and prices offered by the local utility company. The challenge is out there. How will you handle the rising cost of power?

For many, the decision to add a solar electric system to their home or business is easy. The benefits are numerous and convincing. But realistically, it boils down to two reasons for choosing solar. First, the environmental benefits truly are compelling. How do we want to leave the earth for our kids, and their kids? What can we do to protect and preserve our environment? No one disagrees that reducing our dependence on foreign oil and going green is the right thing to do. However, many times it is the economics of installing a solar electric system for your power needs that tips the scales for many homeowners. With the rebates and tax incentives paying back about a third of the total cost of the system, now is a great time to stop the insanity of unstable energy costs. For those wanting predictable utility costs in retirement years, a solar system provides that protection.

The bigger issue for most households is where a solar electric system lines up in the home-improvement wish list. Which comes first? Do you remodel the kitchen, add a swimming pool, or put in a solar system? The costs could be about the same; however, the solar system does one thing the other improvements do not. It yields a payback in the form of lower monthly utility bills, and over eight to ten years the cumulative savings can exceed the cost.

Your pool represents a significant financial investment. Heating your pool enables you and your family to enjoy your investment more than just a few months a year.

Heating your pool enables you to comfortably enjoy your pool - earlier in the spring, evenings after work, and later into the fall. A warmer pool means more time for family fun, more opportunities for healthy exercise, and a better gathering place for family and friends.

A solar pool heater can be less expensive up front than a gas heater, depending on the size of your pool. Once a solar pool heater is installed, your heat is FREE from the sun. With a gas heater you need to pay the gas company depending on how much you use the heater (your pool store can give you estimates for your area). In the spring and fall when you really need heat, you use the pool heater more, so it costs you more - but solar energy is still free. Also, solar is non-polluting, and it can cool your pool during hot months, something no gas heater can do.
