How Solar Works

Solar is a simple, elegant technology that is virtually maintenance-free due to the fact that it has no moving parts. The energy source -- sunlight -- is reliable, locally available, and always free.

A solar electric system is composed of just a few major components – photovoltaic (PV) panels (the generator of electricity) and an inverter (a power conditioning unit). With a grid-tied solar electric system, your system is connected to the local utility grid, which serves as the energy storage and backup for the solar power you generate.

During the day when the sun is shining, your PV panels are generating electricity, and if you are not home to consume the electricity, it is fed through the meter to the utility grid and your meter actually spins backward, banking a credit for you.

Later in the evening when you return home, you use electricity from the utility grid and your meter spins forward utilizing the credit you accrued during the day. The utility company is required to credit you for the amount of electricity your system contributes to the grid at the retail value of the electricity at the time it was generated. By properly sizing your solar system to cover your electricity usage, you can eliminate your electric bill.

It’s Time to Go Solar

The financial incentives available for solar today are substantial, and there is no time like the present to take advantage of them and begin saving money on your electric bill by installing a clean, solar electric system. The incentives available for solar today are generous. However, they decrease over time, so the sooner you apply, the more money you will save. Contact us to learn how you can secure the greatest total incentive for your solar system today.

State Cash Rebates

Several states now offer cash rebates to homeowners who install solar electric systems on their homes. These cash rebates generally cover 25-30% of the upfront installed cost of the system. It’s as simple as securing your rebate amount with a reservation, and upon completion of your system installation, the state will mail you a check for your rebate. In California go to www.gosolarcalifornia.ca.gov for more information.

Federal Tax Credit

In addition to the state rebate, a one-time Federal tax credit equal to 30% of the installed cost is available for every homeowner who installs a solar system on their residence. This credit applies to your tax liability (or the tax amount owed) for the year the system was installed, and is not merely a tax deduction. The credit can be carried forward one year, if you do not have enough tax liability in the first year.  For more information go to www.dsireusa.org/.

Solar Home Loan

A home equity-based loan for your solar system can help turn a larger upfront cost into smaller monthly loan payments that match your current electric bill. By offsetting your new solar system loan with the reduction in your monthly electric bill, you can take advantage of the savings from your solar system without any out-of-pocket expense. Solar Depot can assist you with securing a solar home loan, which is among the most competitive loan packages available.
