Green your home with Solar Panels

A solar hot water or heating system is an excellent investment for home owners. It can utilize your current water heater or furnace, but the energy is generated by pollution-free solar panels on your roof rather than through gas or electricity.

Solar energy is also becoming more price competitive. For example, a $12,000 investment can place 2 solar panels on your roof to heat your hot water. Government programs can help subsidize this cost and offset it by almost $5,000. As energy prices continue to rise, this option will save in utility expenses over and over as well as reduce our dependence on natural gas and electricity.
