Plan Now to Go Solar in 2019

Are you considering going solar in 2019? If so, you’re not alone. Many Arizona homeowners are looking to make the shift to save on their utility bills and to take advantage of the 2019 tax credits. With some preliminary planning, you can kick off the new year with a new solar system that will help you save money while decreasing your environmental footprint for many years to come. Here are some things you can do now to help you get started:

Find a Provider

There are more solar providers than ever before. So, you’ll want to do your due diligence when choosing one to work with. With Cool Blew Electric & Solar, you gain the advantage of a contractor with proven professional solar installation, maintenance and repair services that serves the entire Phoenix metro area.

Get a Quote

There is no one-size-fits-all solar solution. You want a company that will provide you with a detailed quote based on your specific situation. An experienced solar expert will be able to deliver an honest opinion on how viable solar will be for your home, as well as where panels should be placed. You’ll also want a provider that has the latest information on solar incentives, including tax credits, exemptions and partner programs. These discounts should be carefully combined into the quote so that you understand the true cost, as well as what you’ll be able to save once the system is installed.

Choose a Payment Option

Many homeowners choose to purchase their solar system with a no money down finance option. This is ideal for those who don’t want to make an upfront investment but still enjoy the monthly savings of solar. Solar lease programs are another option for those who don’t want to make an initial investment in a solar system. Most leases are for 20 years and include fixed monthly payments, no repair cost, insurance and warranty. Remember, by purchasing a system, you’ll be able to recoup your solar investment by solar energy savings in approximately five to seven years.

Schedule Service

Because solar installation is in-demand as more homeowners are seeing the substantial savings, it’s important to schedule a quote and installation as early as possible if you want to take advantage of the savings in 2019. It’s also wise to remember that some of the incentives that are available now will begin to be phased out after next year. So, it’s best not to wait if you’re now considering the benefits of going solar.
