Solar is a Smart Investment
Solar Path believes investing in solar photovoltaic (PV) solar panels is a smart investment. According to a BusinessWeek article, customers can expect a rate of return of 15% or more per year.
How Much Can I Save?
Customers can save upwards of $45,000.00 over the lifetime of you solar system, based on a home in Tucson, Arizona with an average of a $187 per month electric bill.
Tax Deductions and Tax Credits
Tax Credit Details
Federal law allows for a 30% tax credit for solar energy system installations. That means that you can claim a tax credit on your tax return for 30% of the total cost of your system! See details at energy.gov.
Homeowners can claim a 25% tax credit up to $1,000 for solar devices installed on a residence. This is a one time tax credit and restricts the homeowner for additional credits for solar purchases made for the same residence in subsequent years. See details at the Arizona Solar Center.

Solar Path Helps You Go Green
The environmental benefits of harnessing the sun's power to power our homes and businesses are plentiful. Both major utilities in Southern Arizona create electricity by burning coal mined in Arizona. By choosing to go solar, system owners can reduce the amount of coal needed to power their lifestyles.
Going solar can reduce your carbon footprint, (the amount of carbon needed to power your lifestyle) by reducing the amount of coal that is burned and thereby reducing the carbon dioxide that is released into our atmosphere.
Solar Path will help your commercial business qualify for the maximum benefits and incentives.
Be amazed at how much you can save with our residential solar panels.
