Melinda Kershaw
Melinda Kershaw, from Day & Night Solar Co. brought a lot of interesting facts regarding what options are available, costs and provided a lot of facts that a lot of people are not aware of in regards to solar power energy. Solar energy systems tie into your current grid system. 93% of Americans support solar energy, 12% of Americans know how it works, and 75% of Americans don't know how to go about getting it or where from. There are a lot of tax incentives out there for installing solar energy systems at your residence or your place of business. There are 30% state & federal rebates. Commercial uses can use accelerated depreciation. There are energy credits that are tradable commodities. They can be mounted to roofs, covered parking lots, and pole mounts. You want the maximum power from the least amount of space! |
