At Evergreen Energy, we provide renewable energy solutions to businesses and homeowners. We will show you how to operate more efficiently and reduce energy consumption. We install renewable energy equipment to generate electricity, supplement or take the place of heating, air conditioning and hot water appliances. 

TAX CREDITS!
Take advantage of 26% Federal tax credit which still applies for Solar, solar electric and solar thermal.  Sales tax exemptions, property tax exemptions, utility rebates, and state sponsered rebates are also available for many of our installations.  Contact us for details.

Considering a Solar PV Lease? You may want to reconsider!
We suggest a purchase for several reasons. You are much better off owning your solar array.  When you purchase a system yourself, you can claim the 26% federal tax credit.  If you have limited tax liability, this can be carried forward. Additionally, you can claim a rebate from the CT Green Bank.  Here is a basic example of a purchase!

To purchase a 7 kW solar PV system (assuming a cost of $3.25/Watt)

  • Cost would be $22,750. (prior to incentives)
  • Estimated Connecticut Green Bank (CTGB) Rebate = $2,506.00
  • Estimated Federal Tax Credit = $5,263.00
  • Estimated final cost to Owner = $14,981.00

So, how do you come up with the money to purchase the system outright?  If you have mutual funds or other savings, a solar array will get you a much better return on investment. On average, the ROI for solar is greater than 10%.

If you take out a home equity line of credit, you can get a low interest loan and still save money compared to a lease program. At 2% interest, the purchase with a 15-year term will still cost less than a lease. If you decide to sell your home before the end of the lease, your buyer may not be interested in assuming the lease on top of the mortgage.  If you own the system, the price of the array will be bundled into the mortgage and will likely be more appealing to a potential buyer.
