Why now is the best time to install rooftop solar
Rooftop solar installations grew by leaps and bounds over the past decade as panel costs gradually fell and residential customers took advantage of incentives such as the Investment Tax Credit. As 2017 draws to a close, the solar industry is in transition. While projects are becoming nominally less expensive to finance and quicker to produce …
How C-PACE revolutionizes solar financing
Where does the U.S. solar industry really thrive? Unsurprisingly, it has the largest presence in the Sun Belt running from California to North Carolina, as well as a few pockets of the Northeast. These different regions meet some or all the crucial requirements for feasible solar financing options, including: A high percentage of sunny days. …
Understanding your household energy consumption
Are you having trouble managing electricity consumption in your household? If so, you’re not alone. A report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration found almost one-third of Americans (31 percent) reported some degree of difficulty in paying their power bills in 2015, the most recent year for which data is available as of November 2017. Smaller …
A Buyer’s Guide for Residential Solar Systems
Unlike the engineers and project managers at big utility-scale solar PV arrays, you’re not getting paid to research and identify the best possible solar modules for your rooftop solar installation. Although these industry experts might have a bit of an inside track for their solar PV procurement, it doesn’t mean you have to blindly pick …
