I would say the most popular aspect of the Green movement is Solar Panels. With all the incentives the State of New Jersey is offering, in addition to Federal, there are a lot of people installing them on their homes and businesses. Unfortunately, I heard the rebates have been dropped in the New budget. Therefore, a lot of people and businesses may have missed the bus.
Becoming a Solar Farmer in New Jersey is promising. If you have the money and the rooftop or space, it is an amazing investment. The SREC program allows Solar Farmers to sell the energy they generate. It is a simple system of selling electricity. When your system generates 1,000 KW of Electric, you are given a credit for the Energy you put in the Grid. Farmers can then sell their credits online or to their local utility.
Another aspect of being a good Solar Farmer is conserving energy. Obviously, farmers are helping their system generate, if they are not consuming. Just like agricultural farming, keeping expense or electric consumption down increases the amount of revenue.
I have an appointment for a consultation. I have been considering a small system on my little rooftop. To my understanding, it offers roughly a 20% return. Personally, I love the idea that everyday when the sun rises, it will be generating electricity!
