For Your Wallet
When it comes down to it who wouldn’t want to be saving money on their energy bills? Energy bills are a necessary evil that we have to pay, but you don’t have to be paying hundreds of dollars a month for them. Many of our customers just pay the connection fee to the grid which can be as low as $15/month, depending on where you live and your energy provider. When a home has a solar system, it is designed to cover the energy needs of the home. The energy that the solar panels produce is fed back into the grid and then the energy provider credits that home with the energy that they have created. In the Northeast, the solar systems that we design are done so with the winter months in mind so you will have low energy bills all year long! Plus, with the Federal Tax Incentive of 26% of the system's cost and State Tax Incentives available, you are saving on the installation and equipment costs of your solar system as well. Going solar makes your wallet smile for many reasons!
For The Environment
The more things that we can do to help preserve our environment the better. For each person that can be different but equally important efforts being made. This can include recycling, driving an electric vehicle, and even going solar. All these actions help to decrease your carbon footprint and help the environment to smile a little. While going solar may seem like a big commitment it is a great way to support renewable energy, the environment, and help your wallet at the same time. Reducing your carbon footprint is important and going solar is a big step you can take to reduce it and do your part to try and leave the environment a little better for the next generation.

Utility costs are on the rise and there’s no sign of them slowing down. Consumers are feeling the pressure of constantly climbing electricity rates. As inflation continues to affect nearly every industry and energy demand increases, utility companies are charging more, which means your bills are getting higher. In fact, many experts agree that utility prices will only continue to increase, making it harder for households and businesses to keep their budgets under control.
