Solar equipment panels are generally warrantied for 25 years, but maybe 40 years.  Inverters are warrantied for 10-15 years, but can last 20 years.  Generally, panels face south & are tilted to match the local latitude.  Too weighty (2 – 4 ) lbs per square foot to be installed on a roof.  Could a mounted on a shade structure (let cows rest under it) or a rack on the ground.  Annual savings in TYLER are $784 per year or 11 cents.  CERTAINLY WORTH CONSIDERING!!

The PV systems have dropped in price & including installation it is now $3 to $4.50 for a residential system.  In TYLER the Solar Energy produced per year is 7,131 kWh or a savings of $784 or 11 cents.  An average home in TX uses 13,894 kWh of electricity per year, so in Tyler use less.  Can also save money with (1)  Tax credits:  (2)  Depreciation:  (3)  Cash incentives: & (4) USDA Rural Energy for America Program.  MORE TO COME!

(4)  Ignoring resale value.  While house hunting, the idea of selling your new home may seem like a remote & distant prospect.  But life often dishes out unexpected changes – such as a job or marital change, wrong size, etc.  Avoid a purchase that other buyers may find undesirable or hard-to-modify features.  (5)  NOT hiring an Accredited Buyer’s Representative.  Only a select few of real estate agents have spent the extra coursework + prior experience to keep up with latest issues and trends.  DAVE BAIN, BAIN REAL ESTATE IS AN ACCREDITED BUYER’S REPRESENTATIVE (ABR) + CAROLYN BAIN ASSISTS HIM.
