New Tax Credits Calculator For Home Solar Installations
Solar Tax Credit Organization launches a new Solar Power Calculator to make people aware of how much they can save with solar energy. The savings calculator makes a custom assessment on the user's energetic consumption


LOS ANGELES, CA, April 28, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It gives them information about the solar panels installation they need and insists on the financials and environmental impact of choosing solar. This tool can be shared on Facebook and Twitter to reach the ecological sensibility of everyone.

Recently, incentives and rebates programs for solar energy have been created by the government, all over the United States. New programs are launched every year. Homeowners using or going to use energy sources such as solar panels could receive helps from their own state. In some states these helps allow the customers to save up to 50% on their solar installation cost.

The federal government's efforts bear fruit and let more and more professionals offer affordable price for homeowners. According to recent study of the Solar Energy Industries Association, solar panels produce 156 megawatts of electricity in 2009, i.e. 78 megawatts more than the year earlier. This is a consequence of a 40% drop in solar panels cost during the same period of time. On top of the governmental helps, there are many companies providing rebates program to facilitate the installation.

But even if the situation to go solar is favorable, solar energy only represents a limited proportion of the total U.S electrical energy production ( not yet 1%). And not all homeowners know how profitable solar energy is. Indeed, a majority of them ignore totally that there are many incentives provided by their states and utility companies.
"The majority of homeowners looking for information about the cost of solar installation didn't manage to find a simple and tailored answer for their project. I really think that if information is provided in a simple way and personalized it will help the homeowners to go solar" says John Ben, spokesman of the Solar Tax Credit Organization. The lack of personalized information available is a problem and it's one of the reasons why homeowners are not ready to request a quote from solar panels installers. And they stay in a situation where they hesitate, wondering if solar panels are suitable to them.

To tackle this issue, the Solar Tax Credit Organization designed a savings calculator and offers it on its website http://www.solar-tax-credit.org/. It can be shared on Facebook and Twitter by everyone. The first aim of this tool is to give all details about the cost of a solar panels installation. It also shows homeowners how much money they can save with such an installation. By making this assessment homeowners can easily get in touch with contractors and introduce their project to them, knowing by advance the major part of their future profit. It's essential for homeowners to contact solar panels installers because they have information about all the local financial helps available.

The savings calculator finds out what is the solar system need based on the zip code and electricity bill of the person. Additionally, it answers the following questions:
- Which size of solar panels do I need to cover my consumption?
- How much will it cost?
- How much money will I save with this installation?
- How much time will it take to payback my investment?
- How to get free quotes from professionals?

The Solar Power Calculator can be used at http://www.solar-tax-credit.org/.
