Climatic Solar Blog

Hello Treasure Coast Neighbors! As pools get cooler and utility bills get bigger - solar contractors Get Busy! We solar companies have a feel for the kind of questions consumers have. Here are some of the top questions asked: #5) Questions: What do batteries do? Are they expensive? Answers: Batteries allow a solar electric system to create power in a power outage. They range widely in capability and cost, anywhere from the survival size (refrigerator, lights, etc. and possibly a small portable AC) to a full house operation. As far as price, at Climatic Solar we offer unique options starting at around $12,500. #4) Questions: How does solar pool heating work and what effect does it have on the “swimming season?” Answers: Basically, it’s a simple principle. The system uses your existing pump to push the water through the panels, returning it to your pool as warm water with practically no electricity usage. Generally, a swimming season can be extended from around 5-6 months up to 10-12 months per year, depending. #3) Question: If I have an electric heater for my pool can I also add solar pool heating? Answer: Yes, a number of our customers have both. Essentially, the solar pool panels do most of the water heating, preheating it so the electric heater usually has little to do. Solar typically cuts what would have been an annual $1,200 - $1,600 pool heating bill by 65-90%, quickly paying for itself. #2) Questions: Did the 26% Federal Tax Credit go away? How does it work? Answers: Actually, it just got better – it went from 26% to 30% if installed/operational in 2022 thru the end of 2032. Our experience as a solar contractor is that nearly all customers qualify for available tax credits on included system types; but, it’s always a good idea to get professional tax advice in these matters. #1) Questions: Did FPL change the incentives for solar? So how does it work? Answers: No, the incentives are still the same on that side of things. There was a bill that would have cut solar incentives, but it was vetoed by our governor. So, how does it work? FPL allows consumers to make their own energy using Net Metering . Not much changes – FPL is still there just as it was. It’s essentially a one-to-on trade and most homes can get very close to a zero bill. These are the short answers.
