Solar for Homeowners: Save Money, Increase Value, and Go Green
Switching to solar power has never been more affordable or rewarding. With generous federal and state incentives, along with low-interest financing options, you can enjoy significant savings while making an eco-friendly upgrade to your home.
Adding renewable energy capacity improves your home’s resale value, while reducing operating costs. From an aesthetics point of view, we specify solar modules with the “black on black” composite for a pleasing “mirror” look.

Owning vs. Leasing:
The Best Value for Homeowners
Why Owning Wins:
-
Unlike long-term leases or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) that lock you into paying for equipment you don’t own, owning your system offers true financial freedom.
-
With CEG, you can enjoy low or no upfront costs, expert local installation, and a system designed specifically for your home
Not every home is perfectly suited for solar energy. If you have beautiful shade trees that keep you cool in the summer, they may also affect your system’s efficiency. We’ll give you an honest assessment of how your trees impact solar performance, so you can make an informed decision.
Roof and Shade Assessment
Your Roof Matters:
-
A newer roof is ideal for solar installations, but we can collaborate with certified roofers if updates are needed.
-
Solar systems are durable, with no moving parts and warranties of 20 to 25 years.
Shade Considerations:
-
Shading from trees or buildings can reduce solar efficiency.
