	How does Solar work.

 

Benifits of Going Solar

1. Energy Independence:
   Going solar reduces our dependency of oil and gas. It also helps you combat rising energy cost from your local utility company. As energy costs rise you can have piece of mind that the electric produced from your solar energy system will be worth even more to you as it lowers your electric bill. Going solar is the single most profound thing you can do to help our country become energy independent.
2. Financial Savings:
   An average 5KW solar electric system in Pennsylvania can deliver $40,000 in energy savings over the course of 20 years. The solar electric systems that we install will last well beyond 20 years and are warranted out to 25 years. There are systems that were installed 50 years ago with outdated technology that are still operating today.
3. Increased Home/ Business Value:
   Many people spend thousands of dollars in home or business improvements only to realize later when they sell that the style is outdated or is not what the buyer wants (ie tiled floor, granite countertops). A solar electric system is guaranteed to increase the value of your home or business. For every $1,000 in annual electric savings your home or business value will increases by $20,000. Unlike other  improvements that depreciate over time, a solar electric system increases in value as electric rates increase. With Stewartstown Electrical Service, LLC’s competitive pricing and the current incentives available, you can expect your home or business value to increase by at least the amount of out of pocket money you will pay for a new solar electric system right from the beginning.
4. Environmental:
   Solar panels do not release carbon dioxide and other harmful gasses in to the atmosphere and therefore do not contribute to air pollution and global warming unlike many traditional forms of electrical generation. Also unlike fossil fuels which are used to create most of our electric energy today, solar energy is abundant and renewable, meaning that it will never deplete. Many people have read or heard that the manufacturing of solar panels and the disposal of them after their life cycle is just as bad as not having them at all. This is simply not true. A leading researcher and his colleagues have been gathering data for several years in Europe and the United States and have found that producing electricity from solar cells reduces air pollutants by about 90 percent in comparison to using conventional fossil fuel technology.  Solar panels also operate silently and have no moving parts.

Solar Equipment Cost

Alternative forms of energy are becoming increasingly popular. Residents and business owners all over York, Lancaster, Adams, and surrounding counties in Pennsylvania are adding alternative energy systems. The current solar incentives help lower the cost of getting a system installed! While solar equipment cost may come down a little over the next few years, federal incentives are currently at their best. The funding for the solar energy initiatives is being used up quickly. Waiting for the equipment prices to come down will actually cost you money in the long run as fewer funds are made available by local, state and federal programs making it a perfect time to invest in solar energy for your home or business.

Solar Energy Federal Tax Credit

The solar energy Federal Tax Credit is a tax credit of 30% of the value of the solar installation with no cap.  A tax credit is more valuable than a deduction because a tax credit reduces tax dollar for dollar. The tax credit accounts for 30% of the entire installed system cost. It is a simple one page form that attaches to your federal tax return. The credit can be carried forward to a succeeding tax year up to 2016.
