NEW ORLEANS, LA / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2015 / Joule Solar Energy, the leading solar power experts in Louisiana, is now providing solar panel installation services for the entire state. Free consultations and estimates are available through its website, Joule-Energy.com.
In addition, time is running out for Louisiana residents to take advantage of the 2015 tax credits available for solar energy installations.
From now until Jan. 1, up to 80 percent of the cost of solar installation can be covered by a combination of state and federal tax credits. The federal government offers a 30 percent credit, while the state of Louisiana offers a 50 percent refundable credit. For illustrative purposes, the final cost of a solar panel system valued at $25,000 would be $5,000.
Designed to reward early adopters of solar power, the tax incentive programs are not permanent and therefore under constant threat of being reduced or eliminated altogether as solar energy gains popularity or political winds change.
Because of this, Joule advises homeowners or businesses interested in converting to solar energy to act quickly while the incentives are still in place.
With the recent opening of a second location in Lafayette, LA., in addition to its original New Orleans office, Joule Solar Energy expanded its solar services across the Golf Coast area and now has the ability to provide solar panel installation to customers throughout the state. The second location also serves to increase consumer relations, since customers now have another contact for information or concerns.
Like the original location, Joule's Lafayette office is backed by the same award-winning staff that boasts twice as many solar professionals certified by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners as any other company in Louisiana.
This dedication to educated technicians and quality service has resulted in Joule Solar Energy being ranked as a Top 50 solar installer in the country by Solar Power World Magazine and a Top 5 growing company in Louisiana by Inc. Magazine.
Joule Solar Energy provides a complete range of services, including power use analysis, solar system design and installation. In addition, Joule offers rebate paperwork help along with a wide range of financial options through its solar energy finance partners.
Since Joule does not hire subcontractors, all of its installations are handled in-house, from start to finish. Customers have access to as much information as they need to make an educated decision on whether solar is the right energy option for their needs.
