Solar electricity is
a clean, renewable resource. The modules are safe,
reliable, and long-lasting. They are excellent
for this sunny Texas climate. Solar systems reduce
our impact on the environment They reduce our
dependence on power companies.
They also reduce our
dependence on foreign sources of fossil fuels.
Solar systems save
money for home owners at ever increasing rates. The cost is often
partially offset by government tax credits or utility company rebates. Solar systems have
few moving parts. Except for batteries,
Solar systems are virtually maintenance free. They can be sized to
meet any demands. The size of a solar
system can be reduced by remodeling or building the home for energy
efficiency or adopting a more energy-efficient lifestyle. Solar systems can be
easily expanded with increased family income or with increased needs. The right solar
system (including batteries and/or a generator) virtually frees homeowners
from short-tem power outages and even a grid-connected system helps in
long-term outages. Solar systems can be
used with other renewable electricity such as commercial grid and wind
generators. Installing a PV
system is cheaper than supplying grid power to homes a half-mile or more
from the nearest electric lines. Extra electricity
generated by PV systems can be sold to utilities, usually at a reduced
rate. See Net Metering here. In summary:
