A New Orleans solar home installer can help you save a considerable amount of money.There is a very serious need for home and business owners to find alternatives to their current sources of electricity. Home and business owners across the country have undoubtedly noticed their monthly utility bills rising each year, and the trend does not seem to be heading the other direction any time soon. Fortunately, alternative energy sources such as solar are quickly gaining ground as a viable means of electricity production, and Louisiana is one of the best locations for taking advantage of solar energy. The state legislature has enacted a host of programs and incentives designed to encourage the use of solar energy, and there are many Louisiana solar installers that are available throughout the state.
For more than a century now, fossil fuels have been the primary source of electricity; and not just in the United States, but worldwide as well. And while there can be little debate as to the effectiveness of these fuel sources, the repercussions are only now beginning to be understood. The burning of fossil fuels has been linked to a number of environmental issues, ranging from the destruction of local ecosystems due to drilling and/or oil spills, to actively impacting the global environment by polluting the atmosphere with greenhouse gases and causing noticeable shifts in climate. Another pressing issue with these fuel sources is their availability, as they are definitely finite in supply, and once they are gone, they are gone for good.
Solar energy, by comparison, is available in a literally unending supply. The sun has been shining since before humans were a fixture on this planet, and there is little doubt that it will continue to do so long after we’ve gone the way of the dinosaur. And more importantly, harnessing this energy source does not require any drilling, mining, or burning, making it a much more environmentally sound choice. Thankfully, the Louisiana state legislature has recognized the many environmental and economic benefits to using solar energy, and as such they have made it exceptionally easy for Louisiana solar installers to promote this type of electricity generation to the residents of the state.
Louisiana has arguably the best solar rebate program in the United States. Unlike most other states, which offer rebates that only cover a small percentage of the associated costs of installing a solar power system, Louisiana offers an astounding fifty-percent rebate up to a total of 12,500 dollars. And this rebate is applicable on a per system basis, meaning that if you have more than one system (one for home, one for business for example) then you would qualify for two different rebates. The state legislature has also passed a net-metering program that is applicable for system up to 25 kWh for residential systems, and 100 kWh for commercial systems. Furthermore, these net-metering programs have no annual limit, something that cannot be said for many other states in the country.
