Stephen Barkaszi, a Florida Solar Energy Center program director for solar systems says that although including solar panels in when constructing a new home, it is still a great way to reduce any obstacles that homeowners may encounter when they want to install a residential solar system. The annual utility savings will ultimately depend on the utility costs and other energy-efficient features in the home. Barkaszi said "Something as small as 1.4 kilowatts is at least something, it's a whole lot better than nothing. It's been tough for people to go out of their way to get it added on as an option."

Solar installers Los Angeles will attach solar panels on your rooftop and are expected to generate 1.4 kilowatts of power and reduce utility costs by 30%. Residential solar panels are expected to help homeowners save an annual $1,200 compared to a typical resale home. In addition to enjoying monthly savings from energy generated in solar panels, there are several tax credits available depending on the area that you are located. In addition to solar panels, there are tax rebates that target solar thermal, small wind, and geothermal heat pumps.

Many other companies have followed the same steps as KB Homes by offering, offering solar water heaters and solar power as an option for several years. Many mid- to large-size builders have added solar panels as a standard feature to new home construction. This initiative is expected to benefit both homeowners and the planet alike. By generating residential solar panels, home owners are able to contribute to the environment by reducing green house gases. The renewable energy sources generated through solar panel systems are non-pollutant and draw on sunlight. Solar installers can help complete all necessary paperwork for rebates, building permits, and net metering so that you can easily become part of the solution with residential solar.
