To the future generations:
I am trying to do my part to make a better world for you by reducing my carbon footprint. I have done my research. Johnson County is offering a program called Solarize Johnson County. There are great incentives and tax credits to do this now. Installing solar will give you 30 percent federal tax credit and 50 percent of fed tax credit for Iowa State tax credit. If you sign up before Aug. 31, you get at least 20 cents per watt equal to $1,000 for a 5 kW system. You also get discounts the more kilowatts they install.
But most important, if you install just five solar panels you reduce carbon footprint of 5 or more tons of waste sent to landfill or three or more passenger cars emissions.
Now is a good time to change to solar. So check out Solarize Johnson County or your local county.
I am going solar for my electricity. I am trying to make this better world for you, the future generations.
