So you want to Green your power?

 

Alternative energy is a growing market, and though many states offer tax credits, rebates, and other incentives to promote clean energy, it can still prove to be expensive.  It generally also requires plugging your energy source into the grid so you’re not left in the dark when the wind calms or the sun lingers behind clouds.  When considering an off-grid or grid-tied power system; the two main choices for renewable energy equipment are wind turbines and solar panels. ​​​​It depends on your geographical location and energy requirements. Still, given the substantial investment involved with either option, it’s critical to select the right system for your needs from the outset.
