Affordable Solar & Wind

Take Advantage Of Most Affordable Year For Solar In 2009

 

While 2008 has been less than kind to the solar industry, with falling solar power stocks and an economic crisis that's tightened everyone's purse strings and left home renos in the dust, 2009 is actually looking up.

Personal Tax Credits

While tax credits for installing solar electric and photovoltiac systems in your home were offered in 2008, they had a cap of $2000. For upgrades started in 2009, that cap will be lifted, giving you more immediate financial leeway for the longterm investment of solar systems.

The Department of Energy has also announced that the 30% tax cut for home and business owners who upgrade to solar has been renewed until the end of 2016, a cut which can be stacked on top of a 50% state tax credit for residents installing solar panel systems and has no expiry date. That means that for every dollar you spend on your new solar panel system, you get $0.80 back. With these tax reliefs you can save up to $12,000 on a solar panel system. Also, federal tax credit that's leftover from 2008 can be carried over into the new year, and any excess state credit will be reimbursed by a real, money-in-your-hand check.

Renewable Job Market

The Solar Energy Industries Association, or SEIA, projects that in 2009 there will be an increase in solar industry jobs to the tune of a minimum 440,000 jobs and at least $325 billion in private investments. SEIA sees this emerging market as a result of the $2000 cap being eradicated and are excited about what the benefits to consumers means to the solar industry as on whole.

Falling Costs of Solar Panels

Due to the falling price of polysilicon, solar panels are predicted to get more affordable in the coming years. In 2009 alone, polysilicon could drop 35% to 50% in price, encouraging the solar investors who dropped out of solar stocks in 2008 to re-invest. The lowering price of solar panels combined with the federal and state tax credits are enough to persuade many more consumers to make the initial investment, which is exactly what the solar industry needs. All in all, 2009 looks to be a breakthrough year for solar power.
