Reduce your energy bills while using fewer natural resources! It’s easier than you think. First of all, start small. Begin by conserving energy with practical retrofits like a solar water heater. The less power your home consumes, the less you need to produce. Then add rooftop solar (photovoltaic) panels for your home’s additional power needs. Solar is a “bright” idea because:

• It’s a clean, renewable energy source

• It’s a cost-effective investment for consumers

• It reduces the need to purchase and transport other sources like coal from other places

• It creates “green” jobs and promotes economic growth right here at home

• It reduces our carbon footprint and makes us good stewards of the environment

According to the Florida Solar Energy Center, a solar water heater can reduce the average utility bill by 15 to 30 percent, depending on usage. Thermal solar systems use the sun’s energy to heat water for home use and swimming pools. Back-up systems ensure hot water at all times and you’ll even have hot water during electrical power outages.
