Powering Your Home

Verengo solar power systems convert 95% of the sun's rays to power your home. When the electric current is converted to energy it is passed through an inverter. There it is converted into the electricity that is used in our homes. This conversion is extremely efficient, making the most of the sun's rays. This simple process needs little or no maintenance insuring that a typical solar panel can last over 30 years. Get started today at http://www.goverengo.com/.

How Solar Energy Really Works

A Verengo solar power system will save you money on your electric bill as soon as it’s up and running. But once once it's up, do you know how it works? Your solar panels are made up of photovoltaic tiles that convert some of the sun's light into a clean form of electricity, usable in your home. The solar panel cells have positive and negative pieces of silicon under a piece of a glass. When the sun hits the cells, it moves the neutrons off the silicon. Small wires catch the neutrons and they are driven down to the circuit where the electric current is made and later converted to electricity. This electricity powers your lights, your AC, your heater, your computer and more. If you have made the switch to solar yet, contact us at http://www.goverengo.com/.

Apply for Solar Credits

So you want to install solar panels and want to save with solar tax credits. And because the state is encouraging Californians to use cleaner, greener energy, they’re giving homeowners a property tax break for solar installations, saving you even more. Even though solar increases the value of your home—your property taxes won’t increase. The tax credit and property tax break both save thousands over the years, paying off the initial costs sooner than you think. Be sure you apply to get the write off and visit EnergyStar for more about which tax forms to use. And remember, this tax credit is available all the way through December 31, 2016.

Get Solar Tax Credits

Did you know installing solar panels gets you a tax credit? With April 15 coming fast, keep in mind that going solar not only helps crush your electric bill it also generates a tax credit from the IRS. The new Stimulus Bill, which passed in February 2009, is great news for homeowners switching to solar. You get a tax credit worth 30% of the total cost of the system—which could result in thousands of dollars back, and it means the tax incentives are now better than ever. The savings go farther with rebates and incentives, so start staving today and visit http://www.goverengo.com/.

• Update your windows. If you don't have energy windows put in yet, be sure that they're in before solar panel installation.
• Make sure your doors are sealed. Warm or cool air escaping your home lowers the efficiency of your solar panels.
• Change your energy habits now. Turn off the lights when you leave the room and use your heater or AC efficiently.
