New Mexico may very well be one of the nation’s best places for home and commercial solar for more than a few obvious reasons which we’ll be exploring further in this article.

As of 2016, New Mexico has seen growth in many different areas of solar energy such as overall solar installation growing 258.5 MW in a single year alone to the price of solar reducing 55% over last 5 years and the overall powering of over 170,000 homes with clean sustainable solar energy. All this growth would not be possible without the available solar incentives and renewable programs.

One reason New Mexico may be a new frontier for solar could be due in part by incentives like The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) which is currently a 30 percent federal tax credit claimed against the tax liability of residential and commercial and utility investors in solar energy...

The positive economic effects of the solar power industry driving a surge of new jobs and energizing the U.S. economy. According to Los Angeles-based Green Solar Technologies (GST), a national solar installation company, small towns, and rural communities are reaping the benefits from the surge in solar business. According to energy.gov, as of 2016, the solar workforce grew at a rate 12 times faster than the overall economy, and since 2010, this workforce has increased by 123 percent. Based on recent numbers from The Solar Foundation’s Solar Job Census, more than 260,000 Americans are working in the field, giving a boost to the U.S. economy across the board.

At Green Solar Technologies, Business Development Manager Steve Bagish stated: “We...

Pennsylvanians have a lot to be proud about. In 1776, the catalytic Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson and courageously signed by the founding fathers in Philadelphia, America’s original capital city. Then in 1787 at the Philadelphia Convention (now known as the Constitutional Convention), the Constitution of the Unites States was drafted by then future-President James Madison and made official law of the new nation. The Keystone State’s motto is “Virtue, Liberty, and Independence” appropriately, and is famous worldwide for Valley Forge, Gettysburg, the Liberty Bell, and Independence Hall. The country’s first circulating library, the Library Company of Philadelphia, was founded in 1731 by Benjamin Franklin. The first all-motion-picture theater in the world was opened on Smithfield Street in Pittsburgh in 1905. Another first in the world was...

For the past few years, Floridians have been asking themselves if their state is a good place for home or business solar energy.

The answer to this question has been hazy in the past but steady winds of change have separated the clouds, shedding a positive light on this subject as more and more Floridians have made the switch to solar. Although there are relatively few rebates in Florida, there are still some compelling reasons to consider home or business solar panel generation systems as many others have. One major reason why going solar is a great option in Florida has to do with the amount of sunlight hours this state gets. They don't call Florida the sunshine state for anything, do they? More sunlight means huge savings in the overall cost for solar. The more sunlight you get, the less solar panels you’ll need to produce the same amount of energy. A...
