  By  Alvin Pacot As inflation sets in and prices rise, cash flow becomes a concern for households across the United States and elsewhere. In addition to rises in food prices and those of general merchandise, energy and fuel prices are also climbing. These necessary goods and services can not be put off as though they were luxury items. Yet there are ways to shave these expenditures, particularly in the area of energy consumption, to more reasonable levels. In fact, a family can reduce their usage of gas and electricity with ease, all without lowering the comfort or quality of life.   1. Plug the leaks. When hot or cool air escapes from a house, the heating or air conditioning systems work that much harder to maintain the set temperature inside a house or building. The harder the system works, the more you pay in utility bills. When perforations and fissures in the house are sealed, the system can labor less and save more.

By  Ajay Blue Edge Post date If you’re interested in solar energy, then net metering is something you should learn about. Net metering is a policy that allows homeowners with solar panels to sell excess energy back to their utility companies. In this blog post, we will discuss net metering in Florida and how it works. We will also provide information on the benefits of net metering and how to get started! How Net Metering works Net metering is a process where homeowners with solar panels can sell excess energy back to the grid. This helps offset some of the cost of installing solar panels, and it also encourages people to use more renewable energy. In Florida, net metering works a little differently than it does in other states. Homeowners are allowed to sell back their excess energy to the grid, but they are only paid for it at the retail rate. This means that homeowners don’t get the full benefit of net metering, but it’s still a step in the right direction. The state is also wor...

  By  Ajay Blue Edge Post date Florida, “The Sunshine State,” has been the ideal place for home and business owners to benefit from the sun to power their property. The most prominent attraction to harnessing the sun’s power is net metering (NEM). Net metering means that the excess energy produced by your solar panels will be stored within the local utility power grid and credited back during the evening hours or cloudy and overcast days. A House Bill, HB 741, was recently passed to end net metering and will significantly affect Florida solar customers. The benefit of net metering A large benefit of switching to a solar energy system is to reap the financial benefits of lowering or eliminating power bills. The local utility company will accept new NEM applications from a residential or commercial solar customer for inspection. Upon approval of the system, they will then be linked to the grid. Customers with net-metered solar energy systems in Florida can receive a credit for e...
