The United States is one of the best countries in the world if you want to go solar. Due to the steep upfront costs of around $32,000 in cash, only those upper-income families used to be able to afford to install solar arrays on their home. A new project has been launched aimed at helping middle class communities switch to solar.
The new cost for the installation to the middle class families: next to nothing. Using a mix of government incentives and money from private investors, the Green Energy Chronicles goal is to get solar panels on the roofs of those who cannot afford paying for the installation. The homeowner gets solar panels on their roof and a new reduced electric rate. Green Energy Chronicles predicts that it could save individual families up to $2,400 a year, which they hope could then be spent on other essential bills.
Green Energy Chronicles is excited to be promoting one of the first dedicated solar repayment systems for middle class families allowing them to get a low solar bill and an even lower electric bill. Their goal is to install solar arrays to over 32,000 homes by the end of next year.
Anyone in the state who is currently living in a neighborhood that is classed as middle-class is qualified to apply to get the arrays installed. The sun sets on the initiative as the year ends, you might want to jump on board soon.
Green Energy Chronicles invites everyone to find out if they qualify by signing up for a free visit. To easily find out if you qualify, they specifically created a new website solarvisit.com. They hope that the funding put towards this new site will be well spent, if they can get interested homeowners reaching out to them, they estimate that they’ll be able hit their goal of 32,000 homes by the end of the year.
