Effects of Solar Energy on Economy


Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions and misinformation about solar energy and costs associated with buying a solar electric system. This does not mean it is an investment firm or minor because it is not - far from it, buying a photovoltaic (PV) can be one of the most important purchases that you do.

But you can look at this not so much as a "buy", but rather as an "investment", an investment that not only increase your personal value, but also an investment in the future, yours and the planet . If you decide to buy a solar cell, it will add to the value of your home and increase its resale value if you decide to sell at a later date.

Although the average size of PV system costs about $ 20 to 30.000 today, the market, the initial cost of the system can be compensated in several ways:

- Reduce use of electricity to a minimum (set the thermostat a few degrees lower in winter, and a couple more in the summer, changing light bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps (compact fluorescent light bulbs), unplug televisions, DVD players and other causes Phantom loads, which consume electricity even when turned off, etc.)

- Take advantage of tax credits, local, state and federal incentives. These can represent up to 30 percent of the cost of a new system

- Solar panels are modular, so you can always start with a smaller system to meet any electrical requirement, if not all. You can always add more panels and ad hoc budget

If you live in the network, system, solar power helps reduce electricity bills immediately, and the average pay system itself is a saving in electricity bills of 70-10 years (and not even taking into account the expected increase in prices of 'electricity, so that there is actually a very conservative estimate).

When you take into account the fact that solar panels have a lifespan of up to 25 years, this could mean up to 18 years of free electricity. Imagine getting electricity bills showing zero dollars and zero ear, and what you can do with all the extra money is now finding its way into your portfolio, as opposed to boxes of native plants growing.
