The cost of home solar has significantly decreased over the past decade, making a cash purchase accessible to a wider range of homeowners. Additionally, various financing options, such as solar loans, leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs) allow homeowners to adopt home solar without the need for substantial upfront payments, often resulting in immediate savings on electricity bills. #NationwideSolar #ResidentialSolar

The U.S. government is stepping up its support for clean energy with a $1.45 billion loan to Qcells USA Corp., a South Korean firm, for their new solar plant in Cartersville, Georgia. This funding, from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), will help build a $2.2 billion complex that will manufacture polysilicon, ingots, wafers, and solar cells domestically. This plant will be the largest of its kind in the U.S. and is set to produce enough #solarpanels to power nearly 1.3 million homes annually, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Qcells is also creating 2,000 new jobs and has secured a major contract with Microsoft. This initiative aligns with President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, promoting domestic manufacturing and energy independence. The loan underscores the U.S. #commitment to expanding its clean energy supply chain. 🌞🇺🇸 #cleanenergy #solarpower #sustainability #energyindependence #greenjobs #solarpowered #solarinstalllation #solarpv #solarmodules #solarpanels #photovoltaic #helpinghand

We’re excited to announce that NeoVolta has reached a milestone in our journey to drive clean energy innovation. Today, we completed phase one of our application for a $250M loan from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Title 17 Loan Program and are approved to move into phase two technical due diligence! With this funding, NeoVolta plans to: - Build a cutting-edge manufacturing facility to produce Battery Electric Storage Systems (BESS), creating over 150 high-paying jobs in U.S. manufacturing - Establish regional deployment centers across the nation to meet demand for energy storage - Vertically integrate to produce battery cell and inverter technology, while also enabling 3rd party manufacturers to access U.S.-made components The bipartisan push for domestic manufacturing under the Inflation Reduction Act, coupled with state support from 23 agencies, underscores the urgent need for grid resilience. NeoVolta is proud to be pushing forward this national effort toward energy independence and a sustainable future.

‘Green’ assets yield a return or significant cost savings- they are not just another expense. A property owner had a ~$50k surplus last year and wanted to reduce their energy costs. They got an energy audit report which recommended upgrades to HVAC, lighting, solar and a small battery = total cost ~$500k. Their bank said their historical financials ($50k) can't support an extra $500k in debt being repaid over 5 years; as they would need at least ~$110k per annum to service it. Green Funding however understands the projected benefit (energy savings and/or increased rent) will be at least ~$110k+ per annum plus the $50k historical surplus so there will be more than sufficient surplus to service it. To provide cash flow comfort we will even fund it over 7 years. Green Funding wants commercial property owners to 'properly' invest in energy efficiency upgrades rather then be limited by what their historical financials will allow. Finance should be an enabler not a hurdle! #renewableenergy #solar #solarfinance #funding #sustainability #battery #hvac #batteryenergystorage #lighting

There are numerous financing options, including solar loans, leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs), which can reduce or eliminate upfront costs for home solar. Curious about solar for your own home? Please reach out. #SolarInvestment #NationwideSolar #ResidentialSolar

Ofgem, the energy market regulator, is reducing its price cap on the cost of gas and electricity by over 12% from 1 April, a move which will knock £238 a year off typical bills. This change may be noticeable for households struggling with burdensome energy bills, but it is unlikely to be the differentiator. For customers acutely feeling the crunch, Hub Control's smart systems are a game-changer that cannot be ignored.

New to Solar? Here's How to Get Informed and Avoid Scams! If you're thinking about going solar but don't know where to start, you're not alone. Many people make the mistake of focusing on price without understanding the full picture. Here's a guide to help you make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls: 🔍 Step 1: Understand Your Energy Usage Begin by reviewing your electricity bills to calculate your annual power usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Looking at 2-3 years of bills can help identify trends. Consider upcoming changes that might impact your usage, like adding an electric vehicle (EV), installing air conditioning, or upgrading appliances. 📈 Step 2: Determine Your System Needs Use online tools like pvwatts.com to estimate how many solar panels you need based on your location and roof orientation. For instance, a south-facing roof may need fewer panels compared to an east-west roof to generate the same amount of energy. 🏡 Step 3: Check Your Roof Condition If your roof is over 10 years old, it might be wise to replace it before installing solar panels to avoid future issues. 💬 Step 4: Get Multiple Quotes Contact several solar providers to compare quotes. Aim to get at least three quotes and check reviews to ensure you're choosing a reliable installer. 💡 Financing Tips Be cautious with solar loans. Explore alternatives like home equity loans or refinancing, which can offer better financial benefits, such as tax-deductible interest. #greentech #solarfarm #farm #farmlife #californiafarmer #californiafarming #oasispowers #energysecurity #greenenergy #greenenergysolutions #energystorage #solar #solarsystem #solarenergy #california #californiarealestate #californialife #battery #batterybackup #green #lithiumbattery #lifepo4 #lifepo4battery #poweroutage
