“Spending hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars every year for oil, much of it from the Middle East, is just about the single stupidest thing that modern society could possibly do. It’s very difficult to think of anything more idiotic than that.”
~ R. James Woolsey, Jr., former Director of the CIA
Follow along and let us help save you money as well as our environment. Reap solar power benefits by discovering the costs, uses and advantages of solar energy. We can finally get ourselves a step closer to true energy independence. Think about it – do we really want to keep sending our hard earned money to other countries – most of which (and we’re being kind) laugh at us?
good old Uncle Sam will put a few bucks in your pocket
Converting to solar energy will save you both immediate and long term costs. You get to feel good about yourself because you’re helping the environment and good old Uncle Sam will even put a few bucks in your pocket for doing this.
Get Your Net Metering Credit
Many homeowners don’t know what a solar power net metering credit is. Yes we all know about the two positive effects of converting to solar power in our homes (saving energy and saving the environment), but most homeowners forget the solar power net metering credit and how it can save them some additional bucks. From a high level, what is this net energy metering? How can this net energy metering benefit me? What are the requirements in order to receive the net metering credit?
Massachusetts has net metering requirements in place that provide a method of crediting homeowners who produce electricity on-site for generation in excess of their own electricity consumption. In Massachusetts, the utility will credit excess electricity produced from your PV system.
Net energy metering is used to measure a homeowner’s total electric consumption against that homeowner’s total on-site electric generation. When a homeowner’s onsite generation of power exceeds the amount that they use, the homeowner’s solar energy system (or other renewable energy system) exports the extra electricity to the grid. When the power requirements of the homeowner exceeds their onsite generation of power, the homeowner imports the electricity they need from electric grid. The homeowner pays the electric company for any extra power they use over the amount they generate – OR – the homeowner receives a credit or refund from the electric company if they exported more power to the grid, than what they consumed.
First, installing a solar panel will make you eligible for the net metring credit, if the following requirements are met: (a) you are a customer of a regulated utility company, (b) you will interconnect your solar panels to the electric grid, and (c) you will install a bi-directional electric meter.
For a great overview on the solar power net metering credit , visit the Mass.gov website. This site will provide a net metering guide, and helpful information about the credit allocation. Furthermore, there are a few great online resources that will assist you when trying to figure out how to benefit of the net metering credit like Boston Solar.
“cut the cord” to the electric company
There has never been a better time to solar power your home. It’s easier (and cheaper) than you think. Let us show you how you can “cut the cord” to the electric company! Stop paying high utility bills to the electric and natural gas companies!
Our nation is at a crossroad. America has increased its dependence on foreign sources of energy by 50% since 1973. We must shift from energy dependence to energy independence and place significant emphasis and investments in our national energy security and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
VivaVolt. Zero up-front costs
We provide solar power and energy systems that we refer to as EcoGeneration solutions that produce cooler, cleaner, greener power and energy for our customers and our environment. Unlike most companies, we are equipment supplier/vendor neutral. This means we help our clients select the best equipment for their specific application. This approach provides our customers with superior performance, decreased operating expenses and increased return on investment.
Our company provides turn-key project solutions that include all or part of the following:
✓ Engineering and Economic Feasibility Studies
✓ Project Design, Engineering & Permitting
✓ Project Construction
✓ Operations & Maintenance
We expect all of our customers will be very happy knowing that the clean, green, renewable power they are using is:
✓ More reliable than the electricity from the power company.
✓ Saving the environment by reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions and helping reverse Climate Change and Global Warming.
✓ Generated from their own reliable solar power system on their roofs.
✓ Saving Money! Most of our customers will also enjoy a SAVINGS on their present electric bills up to 90% from what they are now paying for their electricity from the electric utility.
✓ Under warranty.
America needs to quickly transition to energy independence
Our following EcoGeneration technologies are Carbon Free Energy and Pollution Free Power solutions that will:
✓ Forever change the way energy is generated and used.
✓ Eliminate or greatly reduce our customer’s electric demand charges and electric expenses.
✓ Slow, stop and eventually reverse climate change by reducing and then eliminating anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions – of which carbon dioxide emissions makes up 80% of all greenhouse gas emissions.
✓ Reduce and eventually eliminate the use of coal and other fossil fuels.
✓ Reduce the need for inefficient and expensive central power plants owned by utility companies.
✓ Promote energy independence.
✓ End America’s dependence on oil from OPEC and other countries in the Middle-East, Venezuela and end our need for importing natural gas from Russia.
Are you doing your part to prevent climate change and end America’s reliance on foreign energy?
Reap the solar power benefits by discovering the costs, uses and advantages of solar energy. You’ll finally gain energy independence using the benefits of solar energy.
