Great! There are more options out there today than there were just a couple of years ago, so it pays to check around and see who’s offering what. Organizations like 1BOG are a good place to start for people who don’t already have some solar energy know-how, since you can get some free basic guidance without feeling any obligation to buy in.

You’d be surprised at how many states are offering these discounts and how quickly … you don’t have to live in the southwest only to qualify.

I keep hearing about this 1BOG out of California offering this big discount on solar in NJ at $5.00 per watt. However, there are companies already here in NJ that are offering solar for less than that and offer 0% financing with no payments and no interest for 12 months, allowing you to actually generate SREC income, get electric bill savings and use your 30% tax credit before you have to pay a cent. Then after 12 months you take your SREC income, the savings from the free energy you have produced and your tax credit, paydown your O% loan and get a home equity loan to payoff the rest! So you only have to finance about 45% of the system and you contnue to generate SRECS and energy savings! I did it and I have had a positive cashflow since day one (I’m making more in SREC income and electric savings than my loan payment costs). I know everyone keeps thinking this is such a good deal, but honestly, it’s no different than what is already available in NJ.
