Solar Universe provides high quality, solar based energy alternatives to both commercial and residential properties. Solar panels and solar energy can help you save an incredible amount on your electric bill. Solar energy is a clean, renewable source of energy that helps keeps our earth (and your wallet) greener.
Those who are installing solar on their homes are making a difference in the environment and their pocket books. Electricity usage peaks during hot, dry summers when air-conditioners are running. Its also one of the best times to convert the sun's solar energy into electricity through the use of photovoltaic technology.
Solar Panels (photovolatic cells) convert the sunlight into electricity. The cells are grouped together to create solar panels. A series of panels can be linked together and tied into the rest of your solar system to generate enough power to reduce or eliminate your electricity bill. A residential PV solar system enables a homeowner to generate power during the day when they are not at home and sell the excess energy to the utility grid at peak rates. In the evening, when rates are less expensive, the homeowner then draws electricity back from the grid to power their homes. This basic concept is called net-metering or time of use metering.
Did you know you get Federal Tax Credits as well as State Utility Rebates for going solar?The federal government has established a 30% tax credit for the purchase and installation of residential and commercial solar systems.Several states and utility companies also offer financing incentives for homeowners and businesses converting to solar power, saving as much as 50% off your total solar system cost!
