Energy prices have risen an average of 6.5% for a very long time and are due to rise dramatically with growing demand if we do not upgrade our current energy infrastructure. Because solar installation is a fixed cost, savings increase as utility rates rise. When you put a solar system on your home, you're building in a hedge against future rate increases. And rising utility rates are definitely something you can count on, especially considering that they've gone up an average of 5% per year for the past 30 years. In 2006, some states saw the highest tier residential rates jump as much as 55% in just one year.

A SolNV Solar System is a wise, recession-proof investment. You’ll earn a rate of return better and safer than many investments while helping the local economy. Now is the time to take advantage of the new 30% Federal tax credit as well as applicable state and local incentives to dramatically discount the cost of your system. A solar electric system also increases the value of your home, should you ever want to borrow against or sell it; you may review the facts about home appreciation here.

Going solar also has positive environmental and societal impacts in addition to its significant financial benefits. SolNV Solar Systems generate clean energy, reducing air pollution and the CO2 emissions that contribute to global climate change. They also lessen our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil while generating electricity from an abundant, renewable source: the sun. Going solar is just the right thing to do, on many levels.
