Liveable Northeast!

Northeast residents benefit from solar power in multiple ways. The financial benefits of solar are significant. Solar systems can drastically reduce or even eliminate electricity bills. They also help avoid rising energy costs, and increase a home's property value. This opens up income for other areas of life that would otherwise be spent on energy, which is particularly significant for homeowners who live from paycheck to paycheck. 

Solar power is also part of creating a more healthy and happy neighborhood. They replace  poluting fossil fuel plants that not only create carbon emissions, but also contribute to local air pollution right here in the Northeast, leading to lost work days, asthma attacks, bronchitis, heart attacks, hospital visits, and even deaths. In fact, a typical residential solar power system can eliminate 3-4 tons of carbon emissions per year, equivalent to planting over 100 trees!

Furthermore, the solar industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world, and supporting solar means supporting local jobs.
