Income from Solar power


Everyone is looking for an extra source of income especially during this time when prices of commodities continue to rise high. If you are living in a suitable place where solar can be fits on your roof, then you have the big chance to make money out of it. These panels will not only provide you with an alternative power source to get rid of electric bills but also gives relief to minds.

The permissions are provided by the government to those who wants to install solar systems in their businesses or homes.The rebates obtained from solar can be up to 50% of the installation cost. After receiving your rebate check from setting up your solar system, the money is absolutely yours and you can do anything with it.

One main reason why the government is providing all these incentives is to convince people to use alternative power source so that the world will not primarily depend on only one source of electricity which is fossil fuel.
Another reason is to encourage the decrease in price of panels. When a lot of people are purchasing solar panels, there will be additional production from different companies which will surely lower the cost of each unit.

Another possible source of income from solar panels is leasing your rooftop for installation of units by various companies that are interested in generating power by method of solar energy.This method has already been implemented by many people in California. They are leasing their rooftops to companies without any money required in advance for the installation of solars.Home and buildings which are greatly exposed to sunlight have been used by owners to make money out of them or savings from not paying the monthly electric bills because they are also allowed to use the solar panels on their roof. Even unemployed individuals having the ideal roof can earn a reasonable money out of solars.Leasing rooftop to solar contractors has been gaining popularity because of the advantages it offers.

Owners of homes and buildings are renting the available space in their roof to contractors for solar system operation with a corresponding rent that serves as their income.The system operator will then provide the solar power to utility and receives compensation from the power grid where the electricity is being sold.
The solar contractor can provide the roof owner with different options of the lease, depending on the qualities of the roof.One option is that the solar contractor will provide the needed materials for the solar system installations and the owner will spend nothing. In exchange, he can make use of the electricity generated by the solar.
