The federal government is offering a 30% tax credit for installation of all renewable energy systems, and many local and state incentives exist across the country right now and in Xcel territory in Colorado. Consult www.dsireusa.org for a full list of incentives in your area.
Photovoltaic Solar
Provides power to your electrical systems. PV is becoming more affordable all the time due to lower manufacturing costs and tax incentives and energy company rebates. These incentives can significantly lower your installation costs and help your system pay for itself in just 7-10 years. That is remarkable for a system that will create tax-free energy for 25 years and more.
Thermal Solar
Provides energy for several basic household energy needs including hot water as well as heating. There is just something about taking a shower with water heated by panels on your roof that feels very natural. Radiant flooring is simply a better way to heat your home that uses heated water tubes below your flooring that radiate soothing warmth starting from your feet up. Thermal systems are also eligible for a 30% federal tax credit that significantly lowers the cost of the system.
Wind Energy
Wind is a great resource in many parts of this country. Colorado is no exception. With the introduction of residential scale wind turbines, many people and businesses can take advantage of the power of the wind. Great for integration into parking lots where the turbines can power parking lights contained in the same structure. Rated at 2.5 kilowatts, these turbines pack a punch.
Geothermal or ground source heat exchange
Uses the earth’s heat to help regulate a home’s air and water temperature during summer and winter. Remarkably sensible when you think about it. Generally for new construction, and can be expensive if having to drill straight down instead of using trenches
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is key to reducing our energy usage to make our solar energy go farther for us. The less we use and specifically the less we waste, the less we need. By investing to upgrade appliances, windows, doors, and HVAC, you can offset money you would need to spend on your energy system. Big state and federal incentives exist for updating old and outdated elements of our homes and businesses.
