Why Should Roofers Install Your Solar?
We're experts in assessing the condition of roofs and ensuring their durability and weather resistance, enabling us to install solar panels in a way that maximizes the panels' efficiency and lifespan while protecting the integrity of your roof.
Our roofing expertise enhances our ability to address any roof issues prior to installing your solar panels, limiting possible damage to your roof and preventing a situation in which you need to repair or replace your roof shortly after installing solar. Being proactive ultimately saves you money and grants you peace of mind.
Is It Worth Putting Solar On My House?
Whether solar panels are worth it for your home depends on several factors, with the following four at the top of the list:
01
Location, Size & Orientation
If your home is located in an area that receives a lot of sunlight, you may benefit from solar panels. If, on the other hand, your home is surrounded by trees, solar panels may not be as effective at yielding electricity to power your home. And since the sun is always in the southern half of the sky in our northern hemisphere, we recommend homes facing north consider solar so the panels will be on the backside of the roof.
02
Energy Costs
Solar panels can help you save money on your electricity bills, especially if you live in an area with high energy costs. By generating your own electricity, you can reduce your dependence on the grid and avoid paying high electricity rates. You’ll become more energy independent and reduce your carbon footprint, too.
03
Incentives & Financing Options
The cost of installing solar panels can vary depending on the size of the system, the type of panels, and the complexity of the installation. However, many financing options and incentives are available to help offset those costs. These include tax credits, rebates, and financing programs that can help make solar panels more affordable.
04
Free Green Energy Once Paid Off
It takes an average of 5 to 15 years to pay off a solar panel loan in the U.S., but after that stretch of time your panels will continue to generate power for you, all while reducing your carbon footprint and helping future generations by improving air quality and reducing water use. We all that a win-win!
Will The Government Pay Me Back For Installing Solar Panels On My Home?
Yeah – kinda. Let's break it down how the federal solar tax credit works:
The solar tax credit, aka the Investment Tax Credit, is a federal tax credit allowing taxpayers to receive up to 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system back from their federal taxes.
So, let's say you spend $20,000 installing solar panels on your home in 2023 – you'll have to pay or finance that bill on your own. But if you claim the credit at 30% on your 2023 tax return, you will owe $6,000 less on your income taxes, essentially lowering your install cost to $14,000.
While it's not the same as receiving a $6,000 check, it'll reduce or possibly eliminate how much you owe in income taxes for the year (we don't know your situation, please talk to a tax person for that).
And as the law stands, if the amount of taxes you owe for the year is less than the credited amount, you can roll the difference over to the following year.
Sounds pretty great: Saving you money overall while creating an energy-efficient home and reducing your carbon footprint. Interested in your solar options? Call Retex at 804-258-6300 or click the button below, and we'll be in touch shortly to schedule an appointment.
