Bridgeport, Connecticut- February 02nd, 2021, –If you are considering to install a solar roof, there is plenty of good news for you. A decade a ago, U.S. Statesman Ken Salazar cheekily proclaimed, “I think the future of solar energy is bright”. His words have turned out to be astonishingly visionary, not just for the United States, but all around the globe.Solar roofing is more affordable now than it ever has been. The average cost of solar cells has decreased nearly 50% since 2014, making them a workable option for a higher number of people.In fact, experts even predict that solar and wind power will account for 70% of the total global power expansion projected over the next five years, with a large chunk coming from distributed solar Power.

The trend is even more optimistic in the United States, as generation of solar power continues to enjoy incentives, supported by both the federal government and various state governments. With lowering solar roof installation costs couple by government incentives, both residential property owners and commercial business owners are increasingly tempted to switch to solar power for their basic energy requirements. The solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) first introduced in 2006, and Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) goals of individual U.S. States, are particularly significant in this regard.

“Solar cells costs continue to decline at a rapid pace, with a 70% reduction over the past decade.”

With advancements in solar technologies there are many variants of solar roofing. Solar shingles, solar skins, solar fabric and glazing are most common emerging trends in solar roofing. But solar roofing is not for everyone. For example, if you live in a gated community, its housing development society may have its own rules and regulations, including limiting changes to the roof. Also, you roof size and style, may limit the number of panels you are allowed to install on your roof.

“An increasing number of states are re-iterating their commitment to renewable sources of energy, with solid goals like generating 80%–100% of energy by 2040–2050.”

In summary, the industry experts see a surge of solar power deployments over the next 2 years. This deployment is more across residential buildings, as the federal government gently tapers off tax credits by 2022. This means that state governments will then take on the sole responsibility of providing incentives, in order to keep their residents happy and aligned to solar power. So are you ready for a solar roof!
