How do electric vehicles work?Electric cars use electricity stored in a battery pack to power the electric motor. Since battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are run entirely on electricity, they are also called all-electric vehicles. While electric vehicles don’t produce tailpipe pollution, the electricity they use could be produced from a coal- or gas-powered power plant. UCSUSA research shows that battery electric cars that charge off the gas-dominated grid still produce less pollution than their gas-powered counterparts, while BEVs powered by renewable energy sources are virtually emission free.

What incentives are available for installing solar panels? Are there financing options available?The federal government, NYS, and NYC all have unique incentives available to go solar. For most solar customers, these incentives can cover up to 50% or more of the total system cost. When it comes to paying for your system, you can lease, finance, or purchase it with cash.

How much can I expect to save on my utility bill using solar energy?A solar system will pay for itself in just 4-7 years if the homeowner purchases them with cash. A homeowner who finances or leases their system can expect immediate savings and upwards of $100,000 over the life of their system.

What is the difference between leasing and owning solar panels?When purchasing solar panels, whether with cash or through a loan, you will own your system. When leasing solar panels, the solar installation company will own your system. While both purchasing methods have their own advantages, it’s important to know that if you lease your solar panels you are not eligible for any solar incentives and are often locked into a long-term lease.
