When a grid tied solar electric system is installed the system will produce its max power during the mid day when most people are not home. During this period the system will produce power and send it back to the utility making your meter spin backwards counting down what you owe each month.
One carbon credit is issued for every megawatt hour of renewable production, (or 1000 kilowatt hours). Our aggregate pays approximately $300 per carbon credit in five year contract. (example: One of our 5000 watt grid tied system customers system is producing an average of 600kw hours a month or 6000 to 7000 each year. This equals 6 to 7 megawatt hours each year, or $1800 to $2100 each year to offset the cost of your system in addition to the electrical savings.)
As part of the The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 the federal government gives a 30% tax credit to businesses and home owners. Businesses also have the option to take a U.S. Treasury Grant in lieu of the 30% credit in order to receive the funds in the same calendar year.
It has been unwillingly accepted by the public that each year our utility cost will rise and we will have no choice but to continue to pay more for our electricity. However, we really do have a choice. By investing in a renewable fuel generator you are paying a set price now for your future electricity.
It is estimated that by adding solar to your home that for every $1000 in annual electrical savings you will add $20,000 to the value of your home. (Appraisal Journal. October 1999)
