Solar Installations For Greater Economy

Today solar installations stand for greater economy. These can help you reduce all your electrical energy costs and with utility prices on the constant rise. The use of solar energy in Arizona is supported with several incentives, both federal and state. The State of Arizona has a program called the Renewable Incentive Program. According to this program you, as a homeowner, have the option of selling the credits that are associated with the energy you generate, to the Arizona Public Service or APS. This facility is known as net metering. According to net metering, you receive the full value for all the electricity your solar installation generates. This is irrespective of whether or not you’re able to consume all such electricity in your home. 

Solar installations add to the value of your home. However, no extra taxes need to be paid. Above all, unlike fossil fuels, solar energy does not emit pollutants. This is a great advantage especially if you’re a commercial user of solar installation. In such a case, your corporate image gets uplifted due to the association with the green icon. A solar installer such as Argent Solar will install a proven technology in your home or building. Such a technology has panels that are backed by a 25-year warranty from the manufacturers. One of the finest uses of solar energy Arizona is seen in the 13 kW PV system for the National Weather Service in Vail, AZ. This system will help power NWS radar monitoring equipment besides communication facilities. The system installed by Argent Solar will generate 21,000 kW hours of electricity in a year.
