Solar Energy For Homes

You may think it’s not relevant if you are new to the whole “going green” movement. But home value increases when solar energy processes are part of the picture. This factors into decisions that are made regarding the purchase of a home from the buyers perspective. When you’re environmentally conscious and want to take action to help yourself and the world around you, consider using solar energy. A home equipped with the ability to provide free or less expensive electricity is a prized possession in the real estate world. If you have solar energy provided for the future home owners, they’re able to calculate the estimated savings and realize that your home is definitely worth more to them.

The Proof Is In The Doing

Anything worth doing has an initial investment of time, money or resources. Using solar power is no exception. Just keep telling yourself that the goal of free electricity is a short term project that reaps long term benefits.

- You will save money on the monthly electric bills.

- On a whole house solar system of about $20,000.00 it should 4-7 years to pay for it’s self. Then it’s home free for about 12-15 years.

- An older home automatically gets brought into the 21st century with solar power on board. Because potential buyers will be able to spend money on other improvements that would have gone to heating water, making living space comfortable and general electricity cost.

- You will get a far higher price for your home because of the solar energy efficiency.

- Banks and lending companies are figuring in the value of a home with solar energy capability so ability for buyers to finance may be expedited due to the extra instant equity.

- You can and should receive financial help from your state and certainly the federal government with tax credits and incentives. Check this thoroughly, there is more money available than ever before.

- There are no emissions and you’ll reduce your dependency on easy energy created through years of over use of electricity.

Assets and Equity Built Right In

When it comes time for you to sell out and move on to a different place and you’re going to list your current property on the market. You’ll quickly learn that you did a good thing by installing the solar unit. When you do decide that you want to sell your home, make sure that you make your Realtor aware of the savings that you have received from the solar equipment installation. It sometimes helps to be able to show someone a copy of your electric bill before you converted to solar energy panels or units and then show them what you’ve been paying after they were installed. Over the lifetime of the home, the upkeep on solar energy will be far less than paying huge electric bills each month.

This is how your home value increases using solar energy.

While this brief review of how to sell your home using solar energy is informative, it is only the beginning.

Solar Energy Statistics

More and more home owners are choosing to install solar panels on their roofs. According to the Energy Information Administration, the official provider of energy statistics to the US government, the number of installed units was over 280,000 in 2007 (the latest year that data is available). Why are so many people installing them?

The first reason is that solar, or pv, panels can save money. In many cases homes become “net providers” of energy. That means the solar panels create more electricity than the homeowners’ need, turning these homes into mini-power stations, where the electricity the homeowner does not need is sold back to the power company. They not only reduce their electricity bill to zero, but get credits applied to their electric company’s bill. That comes in handy on those months that there may not be enough sun to cover all of your electricity use, like during a month with a lot of rain or snow – or during winter.

The second reason is that there are tax credits that try to make the installation of the panels more affordable. Recent stimulus legislation includes these incentives.

A third reason is that more and more Americans are concerned about where their fuel comes from, and they want to do their part to help keep the environment clean for the children and grandchildren.

However, even with the tax credits, the costs for putting solar panels on homes can still reach into the thousands of dollars. That is beyond the reach of many people. But there are other options.

Believe it or not, you can build your own. With as little as $200 in materials and a little elbow grease, it is possible to start putting these savings into your pocket. And there are very easy step by step guides to help. The internet offers many products that walk you through the process.

How many months does it take you to spend $200 on your electricity bill? Three months? Two? One? In that amount of time, these panels would have paid for themselves. This is a great investment.

My experience installing solar panels is always the same: homeowners love saving money, using less foreign oil and helping the environment. See if this product is right for you. http://makeyourownenergy.wordpress.com

What education would i need to get a job in solar energy or wind energy after graduating high school?

Im fresh out of high school and am not sure what education i should be seeking next. I have heard that renewable energy is a fast growing field and would like to know what education a good job in that field would require. By a good job i mean anything from installing solar panels or repairing wind turbines. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look into electrical, electronic, and mechanical engineering. I would say the best thing that anyone could tell you is to stay versatile. Things are changing so fast in the green industry that by the time you learn one thing very well, it has become obsolete, or close to it.

If you are a self help type of person and are really interested in installing or consulting, check out a program ‘RETScreen’. This is a program that the Canadian government has put out to help consultants and estimaters plan for renewable energy conversions
