Solar Panels let you Own your Electricity

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

If you are buying electricity from the power company, you are renting those watts, generally at a rate of 8 - 12 cents per watt hour used. If you are a business and consume large amounts of electricity, you generally also pay a demand charge or fee, based on your highest peak usage durng the billing month.

If you install an electric solar system, then you own the electricity being generated, and do not have to pay rent to consume it. For businesses in the right utility areas, not only do you own the electricity you get to use for free, but the power company will pay you rent on it as well!

So, one more advantage to installing a grid-tied photovoltaic solar energy system is that you go from being a renter of electricity to the owner of your electricity. Like your house, once the system is paid off, you own it and what it generated free and clear.

Is the sun shining now as you read  this?  If so, you could be making money with solar energy!  If not, was it in the last 24 hours?

Solar Energy is a no brainer.  Why rent electricity when you can own it?  Do you own your own house, why not your electricity?

The public utilities are raising rates again, and cap and trade may make it even more expensive to build the next generatin of power plants due to all the emiisions laws, but solar energy is renewable, and cheap!

Why not buy a solar energy solution from the Grand Junction solar installers at Nth Degree Energy?
