Even better, you can get solar for $0.00 down and save even more.

You see, if you are paying your power company over $150 per month it is very likely that you could reduce your monthly costs or even completely eliminate your utility bill by becoming your own power company – and you can often do it with nothing out of pocket.

Even better, you will likely save thousands over the years by doing it.

YES! When you combine the savings from these programs you can get a solar system of your own to replace the power company for about 1/2 the cost.

State incentives vary city by city and power company by power company. Some areas and cities are providing their residents with larger incentives and the Federal Tax Credit program will give you a 30% tax credit for the remaining costs.

Did you win the solar lottery?

It is true, for some, solar can be like winning the lottery.  To make things simple there are four key factors that make solar make sense.  And it is these “Four Factors” that we, The SolarPros at Win-Dor, use to determine if solar will or will not “REALLY” work for you.

Does your roof face the right direction and without shading issues which block the sun.
Do you have enough available roof-space and are open to the appearance of panels.
Do you have the right utility company? This and the area you live in can impact incentive levels.
Do you use enough electricity.
