This city’s name derives from ridges that overlook fields of beautiful wildflowers. Garden Ridge is a charming haven nestled amid oak trees and rural splendor. This city’s motto is “A way of life, not just a place to live.” If you live by Garden Ridge’s motto then, having green energy is a great way of living.
Choosing solar energy for your home and business not only benefits the environment but can reduce or even eliminate your increasing electric bills. With a solar panel system you can make your own electricity and stop renting from utility companies.
While other homeowners watch their utility bills continue to rise, you’ll be able to keep powering your home at the same price. This can help you budget better and plan for future expenses without worrying about varying utility costs.
You will no longer be dependent on your local utility company. You’ll no longer have to worry about the power going out when you make your own solar energy.
Saving on your energy bill isn’t the only way going solar pays for itself.
Installing a solar power system can get you a 30% tax break. If your solar project consists of just the solar equipment, you’ll get 30% of the cost back on your federal income tax. If your project also includes back up batteries, generators, new roof, tree trimming, or carport, then the tax credit will apply to those services as well.
There are many utility companies that offer rebates to residential and commercial property owners that have decided to go solar.
