Solar Electric or Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into usable household electricity. In a traditional Grid-Tie, Net-Meter system, this electricity is fed into your electric meter, allowing it to spin backwards. Any surplus energy that is generated is then given back to you in the form of a credit, or stored in batteries as a backup. If you generate enough electricity – your power bill can be eliminated!
- Cost of Electricity: 90% of Hawaii’s electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, which have historically increased by 5% or more every year. Ten years from now, do you think your power bill will be higher or lower than it is now? If you think electricity is going to cost more ten years from now, you should consider a grid-tie solar electric system for your home or business today!
- Reducing your carbon footprint: Eliminate emissions by generating free renewable energy from the sun, instead of burning messy, non renewable, costly fossil fuels.
- How can I afford it? The Federal and State credits for 2010 are at their highest levels for Hawaii.
For Residential Solar Electric Systems:
-30% Federal Energy Tax Credit (no cap)
-35% State of Hawaii Tax Credit ($5000 cap)
For Commercial Solar Electric Systems:
-30% Federal Business Energy Tax Credit (no cap)
-35% State of Hawaii Energy Conservation Tax Credit ($500,000 cap)
-Federal and State Accelerated Depreciation
The Public Utility Company is allowing a limited number of net meter systems in each neighborhood. If you wait too long, you might miss your opportunity to generate free power. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by.
More info: 
Hawaii has the highest energy prices in the nation, yet we live in one of the most solar rich states. The majority of our energy comes from burning fossil fuels, which is only going to get more expensive over time. Combined with the most generous Federal and State credits, 2010 is the best time to go solar, and go green!
Got Sun? Go Solar!
Most folks when they retire will be on a fixed income.
Why not stabilize your Power Bill now
and have more money for your retirement?
