The Sunbeam - November Edition

Welcome to the November Edition of The Sunbeam! If you haven't yet heard, Governor Cooper signed House Bill 951 on October 13th. This bill aims to reduce carbon emissions, but will have adverse impacts on the cost of electricity. A provision of the law changes the way North Carolina designs electricity rates, allowing utilities to propose multi-year rate plans with the potential for larger rate increases. Some independent estimates, including those by the Carolina Utility Customers Association, have predicted that utility bills will rise as much as 50%. Unfortunately, the main beneficiaries of the energy bill are Duke Energy and other hand-picked stakeholders. Despite its emission-cutting goals, this bill will sky rocket the cost of electricity for homeowners over the coming years. As you know, the best way to control future electricity bills and gain energy independence is to go solar. Reduced solar pricing paired with the current Federal Investment Tax Credit makes now the best time to switch to solar energy for businesses and homeowners. If you know anyone who can profit from the same savings as you do, recommend us for our $500 + $500 off reward! Thank you for being a pioneer of the renewable energy movement. Sunny Regards, The Cape Fear Solar Systems Team
