Bright Idea: Solar Panel Solutions for Your Home
With homeowners looking for ways to reduce energy costs and increase their home's value, solar panels have become an attractive (and more sustainable) option.
Recently, we hosted Kevin Nichols of Nichols Energy Solutions, a CNY-based solar installation company, for an informative session about residential solar options.
Installing solar panels isn't just about going green. It can also be a smart financial investment. Homeowners can benefit from lower electric bills, valuable tax incentives, and New York State grants through NYSERDA.
Whether you're planning to stay in your home for years to come or considering selling in the future, solar installations can increase your property's value.
To make solar installation more accessible, Empower FCU offers green loans with competitive, fixed rates that ensure predictable monthly payments. These loans also come with a unique one-time re-amortization option at no additional fee.
Key benefits of installing solar panels:
- Immediate reduction in monthly energy costs
- Tax credits
- NYSERDA grant eligibility
- Increased home value
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Fixed-rate financing options
