Solar heating and water systems are quickly becoming a cheap alternative to gasoline and coal-powered residential electricity generation. In fact, 20 years ago installation of photovoltaic solar paneling cost almost 7 times as much as it does now. The great thing about solar energy is that it is a one-time installation fee, and the average household need only spend $20,000 for a complete solar makeover, including photovoltaic paneling (the black paneling you typically see atop houses or in larger clusters) and a solar hot water system. Individually, solar hot water systems only make up for about $7,000 of the total cost. Additionally, in Colorado the government will pay you $2 per watt up front for simply installing the system, and then continue to pay you up to $1.50 for each watt that you are actually producing. The average photovoltaic system is around 3 kilowatts, creating a rebate of $6,000. The incentives are numerous for installation, especially here in our sunny state of Colorado where we see almost 300 days of sun each year. Adding solar energy to your existing system is a great way to reduce your impact on the earth and significantly reduces your monthly utility bill. This is a great way to start the transition into a home powered by alternative energy.
