Solar Power for Homes Connected to
the Power Grid
|
| Solar
electricity is now a mainstream choice for
home improvement because photovoltaic costs have been driven down in
recent years, leading to increased savings. As electricity rates
continue
to rise faster than inflation, maintaining the status quo translates
into increased expense with no return. Why be at the mercy of
electric company rate hikes when you can use your money towards owning
your very own power plant that increases the value of your home almost
as much as the system costs (after rebates) and reduces your electric
bill by 30-60%? Going solar is a sound investment that provides a
decisive solution for three of the greatest problems in energy use
today. Solar electricity: |
Over 1 million homes around the world rely on
solar energy as their primary or only source of electricity.

|
- reduces consumption of dwindling resources,
- protects the environment and
- is profitable, fostering economic growth.

Installing a solar electric
system for your home is financially prudent, reduces damage to the
environment and decreases dependency on foreign energy sources.
Solar
electric systems require no
maintenance, have higher reliability than the power grid and only incur
a one time
cost for 25-40 years of clean electricity. Most solar
modules come with
a 25 year warranty.

Consider the insolation map below. At over 320 sunny
days per year, Arizona is the best state in the US for solar power.
With current technology, the sunlight falling
on just half of Maricopa County could produce all the electricity used
in the United States.
