There are many types of solar to choose from. The three most common are solar pool heating systems, solar hot water heating systems, and solar electric systems. Solar pool heating systems are a great way to save money on heating your pool, as they are significantly less money after the initial investment (vs. gas or electric pump) and keep your pool around 15 degrees warmer year round. Solar hot water heating systems can save 20-30% of your monthly utility bill and have a 30% US Federal tax credit through 12-31-2016. Solar electric systems are customized to your budget and energy needs but also come with the 30% tax credit. Every state and utility provider differ on additional incentives for solar hot water and solar electric systems, so there may be more ways to save. On our website, we have a real example of an 8.8kW solar electric system on a Florida home and what their utility bills are after adding a partial-home solar electric system. www.univ-solar.com/FAQs/
