Incentives that have just been passed by the United States Congress combined with recent federal and state rebates that have made the system free. Not only will the system be paid for by grants and incentives, you as the owner would still benefit from creating your own energy and reducing your carbon output. This makes the investment in solar power a great financial decision for businesses and for home owners. By contacting a Solar Solution representative you will be able to discover just how great a savings is possible through governmental tax credit incentives.
Currently the federal government offers a 30% tax rebate on the purchase of any Photovoltaic Solar Panels installed on your home in any state with no size limit on the incentives. This new law that is in place allows for an unlimited amount of rebate that will not expire till the year 2016.
