More people moving to solar electric cars

As we move further into the 21st century and technology continues to evolve, more and more people are turning to electric energy for their cars. More car makers like tesla and GM are paving the way for a new era of electric powered cars. With the rise of electric cars also comes the need to power them, lately, many electric car owners have been charging their cars by harnessing the power of the sun. Most home solar panel installations provide the homeowner with enough power to charge an entire electric vehicle and still have extra power left over. If you are interested in solar power, contact gforce green electric solutions today. If you need a Electrician Rancho Bernardo give us a call. We provide full service electrical repair and installation.

No one knows exactly how many electric cars are being powered by solar energy, but the number of electric and plug-in hybrid cars in the U.S. is growing. Last year, 97,563 were sold in the U.S., according to Ward’s AutoInfoBank, up 83 percent from the year before. Meanwhile, solar installations grew 21 percent in the second quarter of this year, and more than 500,000 homes and businesses now have them, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.

Tofel, 45, a senior writer for the technology website Gigaom, installed 41 solar panels on the roof of his Telford, Pennsylvania, home in 2011. The solar array — the term for a group of panels — cost $51,865, but after state and federal tax credits, the total cost was $29,205.

Solar isn’t cheap but federal tax benefits helps you cut your electricity bill

Now most solar panels aren’t cheap to install, but there are many federal tax benefits that help make the cost much lower. Federal tax credits can amount  up to several thousands dollars, and oftentimes, there are financing plans available that make it so that you don’t have to spend a dime upfront. Over time, an investment in solar energy will eventually pay for itself in the long run. Currently no one knows exactly how many electric cars are running off energy from solar panels but the number is rising and will continue to rise as the new solar revolution gets underway.
