The New Wave: Solar Electric (Photovoltaic) Systems

There are an increasing number of people in the United States shifting to solar energy. There are a lot of reasons why. First, solar energy is affordable; significant federal and state incentives, escalating energy costs, and the increased property value associated with installing solar mean that solar has a strong return on investment. Secondly, as mentioned above, solar energy is renewable; hence, this means zero greenhouse gas emissions, a reduced carbon footprint for your home or business, and solar electric systems designed to last for decades mean that solar works. Thirdly, solar energy is independent; i.e. it reduces our dependence on foreign fossil fuels, freedom from the utility’s rising energy costs, and generating power at your home or business where you use it. Fourth, because of federal and state incentives like Massachusetts Solar Incentives, giving rebates to those who install solar energy systems in Massachusetts. Fifth is because of SRECs. Each SREC represents the environmental benefits of producing one megawatt-hour of electricity using Photovoltaic technology. SRECs provide an ongoing revenue source for solar electric (Photovoltaic) system owners.  SRECs behave like stock certificates: they are bought and sold on a market administered by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER).
