12 Oct Convincing Your Friends and Family To Go Solar
At Vision Solar, we really love when our customers want to spread the word on how great solar power is. However, many of our customers do not know exactly what to say or how to say everything, when the time comes. So, we have created some friendly reminders for you to follow in order to spread the word. Along with this, it is important to remember that you receive a $500 referral for you spreading of positivity. So, with these simple reminders, along with your referral, we encourage you to always spread the word on solar in order to help your friends and family.
Solar Incentives:
Each state has a multitude of incentives in place for switching to solar. In Florida, the current incentives that are still in place include: Federal Solar Tax, Sales Tax Exemption, and Property Tax Exemption. The Federal Solar Tax is a way for you to earn 26% of the installation costs back. The Property Tax Exemption earns consumers up to $15,000 in savings because your property tax will not go up with the installation of solar panels. Last but not least, the solar sales tax exemption prevents you from having to pay sales tax on your solar panels.
Cleaner Environment:
COVID-19 has been the most defining event for 2020. For just one year, this year has been filled with enough negative news to last a lifetime. However, a small piece of positivity that has come from 2020 is the environmental impacts that have occurred. Because productivity has been less, pollution has seen a significant drop. Switching to solar in 2020 is the perfect way to continue with this positive trend. Having a cleaner source of energy is supporting the environment that you live in. We all should be supporters in making the world a cleaner place for our future generations.
Solar Savings:
The savings that come from solar power are one of the major benefits that consumers recognize immediately. The average homeowner spends about $112 on their electricity per month. This is dependent on how much they are being charged per kWh from their electric company. However, with solar power, your new bills will now be based on a fixed flat rate. Your rate will be based on the amount of panels that you need to power your home and also the new rate for your electricity. Not only this, but your new electricity never goes unused or wasted. With net metering in place, the electricity that you produce during the day may be more than what you are using. Your panels then use this electricity to power your home throughout the night when the sun is not out. By using the extra energy that is generated throughout the day, your panels are essentially paying for themselves. On top of this, any excess energy that is produced that you do not use throughout the month will then be used as a credit for your bill. The average home will save upwards of 20% on their electricity bill each month. Your savings will create extra money that you can use on that vacation you have been planning since the beginning of COVID. Contact us today.
