There's never been a better time to go solar than when you're building a new home or re-roofing a house. Learn about the various options available to you from standard panels to partially integrated solar shingles to a full solar roof.
We will share the wide variety of solar options available today and the considerations to take into mind as we move towards homeowner energy independence. With the cost of utility electricity on the rise and sun shining on rooftops, now is the time to start turning every roof into a personal power plant.
We will discuss how you may be able to claim the 25D Home Solar Tax Credit this year during this session.***
