Home Improvement

 

Summer is a great time to fix up the house, clean out the basement, and finish clearing out the backyard mess from last fall. Sealing up those nooks and crannies to keep out the winter draft is something, as Vermonters, we also know very well. If you need a new roof or if you're about to build a carport, covered breezeway or deck, there's something you should know.

Fusing a Roof with Solar Energy

One interesting addition to the spectrum of home improvement is Solar.

Instead of hiring a roofer to replace that tired old roof, one may contact Tesla for their latest in solar roofing. Tesla has introduced a new product that fuses two home necessities, a roof and electric power, into one state of the art "Green" and self sustaining solar roof. The roofing panel styles resemble finer quality roof shingles.

Current tax incentives will help ease the financial bit by about 30% while financing opportunities are available.

Finally, Tesla isn't so far away Solar City, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tesla, opened a 13,000 square foot location in Burlington, VT in 2015. ...More

 

Vermont's Own Sun Common

Sun Common, located in Waterbury, VT, is a wholly owned Vermont company that manufactures and installs solar panels for residential and commercial use.

Solar panels may also be used to construct an open covered porch.

A 30% tax credit and no money down financing terms may help make solar energy readily available, especially if you're on a tight budget.

Called affordable, Sun Common even brings its solar panels to accommodate mobile homes.

Finally, going solar may not only cover your electric bill, homeowners may also be able to reap a profit with at home wind and solar electric generation. ...More
