Did you know that football star Tom Brady’s\u00a0home<\/a> is completely custom-built and includes Earth-friendly features like gray water collection, reclaimed and recycled construction\u00a0materials, and solar panels that provide all of the home’s electricity needs?\u00a0While\u00a0celebrities may have unlimited budgets for investing in sustainable energy sources, the rest of us are just trying to be kind to the Earth and save a few bucks on energy. \u00a0Thankfully, investing in sustainable energy and saving money on energy is no longer mutually exclusive.<\/p>\n Solar energy<\/a> is renewable, clean, and easy to make. It also cuts down on your energy bills by reducing the amount of electricity you have to purchase from the main grid. On the other hand, an entire solar panel system can\u00a0seem intimidating or expensive to\u00a0the average homeowner. The truth is that solar technology has come a long way, and\u00a0is simpler and\u00a0more affordable\u00a0than ever before.<\/p>\n Every homeowner can afford to incorporate solar technology into their homes. If a completely solar-powered home is out of your budget, you can get started with a small hybrid system where part of your energy comes from solar panels, and the rest comes from the main grid. To help make your system more affordable, the federal government offers a 26% tax credit to homeowners who invest in renewable energy systems like solar energy. Then, once the system is in place, the immediate energy savings further offset the cost. Plus, you can also receive Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs), which are payments for the extra electricity generated by your solar panels that you can sell to the main grid.<\/p>\n Leasing solar panels is a simple way to get a renewable energy source at your home quickly and inexpensively. When you lease solar panels, all you have to do is pay monthly rent to enjoy energy savings. In the long run, the overall savings are lower with leased panels because leasers are not entitled to any of the tax benefits or credits. Leasers are also tied into contracts of a minimum of 20 years, which is transferable with the ownership of the house.\u00a0Learn more about leasing vs. buying solar panels<\/a> here.<\/p>\n Let Wattson Home Solutions give you a hand in getting your own solar system.
