Good news! Renewable energy systems just got a little more affordable. Thanks to federal tax credits that went into effect January 1st, homeowners can now get money back for purchasing wind turbines or solar panels. There are tax credits for energy efficiency, too – including projects such as adding more insulation to your home, or buying energy-efficient windows. All this is good news for the planet, because it encourages renewable energy and reduces the use of polluting fossil fuels. It’s also good news for your wallet, because over time, these types of energy upgrades can save you a lot of money.
