Solar Panels for Retirement

Retirement planning is critical to a secure future. Many people don't realize solar panels can be part of it.

Solar lowers your energy bills for decades, which matters most when you're on a fixed income. Here's why it's worth considering:

1. Predictable savings. Once your system is installed, you produce much of your own power, so you're less exposed to rising utility rates.
2. Financial benefits. Savings on energy costs add up over the life of the system, and incentives may be available. Federal, state and utility incentives change over time, so check current incentives with a tax professional before you count on any credit.
3. A smaller footprint. Solar is an easy way to make your retirement greener.
4. Home value. Solar can make your home more attractive to buyers if you decide to sell.

Paying for your system

• Buy it outright. If a CD or other investment has recently matured, this can be a good way to reinvest.
• Finance it. A solar loan spreads out the cost. Ask a tax professional whether any interest is deductible for you.
• Lease or PPA. Lower upfront cost, but you don't own the system. Read the contract carefully.

Payback time depends on your system cost, energy use and utility rates. We'll give you realistic numbers for your home. Use the power of the future to fund your future.
