Solar Electricity Offers a Range of Advantages:
Lower Electricity Costs: Immediate ROI – Today's increasing efficiencies, falling prices, utility rebates, State and Federal financial incentives, and accelerated depreciation schedules combined can make the levelized cost of solar-generated electricity significantly less than the cost of utility electricity.
Stable Electricity Costs: Long-Term ROI – The cost of solar-generated electricity remains stable over the life of the system even when the cost of traditional utility electricity increases. Solar PV has no variable operational costs; thus, the cost of solar generated energy is fixed over time.
Maximum Savings at Peak Times – Solar PV systems produce maximum outputs at times that coincide with peak power demand, thus reducing both demand load and replacing capacity during expensive midday peak hours.
Competitive Advantages – Clean Power, Green Marketing –Solar PV systems generate clean, pollution-free power that keeps greenhouse gases out of the air while offering a hedge against future carbon legislation and price volatility. Solar energy also appeals to consumers who make “green” purchasing decisions.
Building America’s Green Economy – Making, installing and using clean solar energy is helping to save energy, cut waste, preserve the environment, create jobs and build the next American economy.
