U-Ann Arbor (uluvo olunolwazi) - UMthetho wokuNcitshiswa kwexabiso lokunyuka kwamaxabiso (i-IRA) umisele ikhredithi yerhafu yeminyaka eli-10 ye-30% yokufakela iipaneli zelanga kuphahla lwezindlu.Ukuba umntu uceba ukuchitha ixesha elide ekhayeni lakhe.I-IRA ayincedi kuphela iqela ngokwalo ngeekhefu ezinkulu zerhafu.
Ngokutsho kweSebe lezaMandla, uToby Stranger kwiiNgxelo zabaThengi udwelisa ezi ndleko zilandelayo onokufumana kuzo i-30% yekhredithi yerhafu yendlu yakho yelanga.
Ubomi obuluncedo bepaneli yelanga malunga neminyaka engama-25.Phambi kokufaka ngo-2013, saphinda safulela indlu kwaye sinethemba lokuba iithayile ezintsha ziya kuhlala ixesha elide njengeepaneli ezintsha.Iiphaneli zethu zelanga ezili-16 zibiza i-18,000 yeedola kwaye zivelisa ngaphezulu kweeyure ezi-4 zeemegawathi ngonyaka.U-Ann Arbor unokukhanya okuncinci kakhulu kwelanga ngoDisemba nangoJanuwari, ngoko ke ezo nyanga zimbini ziyinkunkuma.Nangona kunjalo, ezi paneli ziphantse zigubungele ngokupheleleyo ukusetyenziswa kwethu kwehlobo, kwaye ekubeni i-air conditioner yethu ingumbane, yile nto siyifunayo.
Uya kuva izinto ezininzi, ezininzi zazo ezingalunganga, malunga nokuba kufuneka uhlawule ixesha elingakanani kwipaneli ukuze wonge umbane.Uluhlu lweepaneli esinazo namhlanje zinokubiza naphi na ukusuka kwi-12,000 yeedola ukuya kwi-14,000 yeedola kuba ixabiso leephaneli zehle kakhulu.Nge-IRA, unokufumana i-30% yetyala lerhafu, ucinga ukuba unetyala elingako kwiirhafu.Kwinkqubo ye-14,000 yeedola, oku kuzisa iindleko ukuya kwi-9,800 yeedola.Kodwa qwalasela oku: UZillow uqikelela ukuba iiphaneli zelanga zingenza ikhaya lakho libe likhulu nge-4%.Kwikhaya le-$ 200,000, ixabiso le-equity linyuka nge-8,000 yeedola.
Nangona kunjalo, ngexabiso lasekhaya eliphakathi e-US kulo nyaka liyi-348,000 yeedola, ukufaka iipaneli zelanga eluphahleni kuya kongeza i-13,920 yeedola kwixabiso lakho.Ke phakathi kwekhefu lerhafu kunye neenzuzo ezinkulu, iiphaneli zikhululekile ukuba zisetyenziswe, ngokuxhomekeke kwiikilowatts zoluhlu olufakileyo.Ukuba ujongana nekhredithi yerhafu kunye nokunyuka kwexabiso lekhaya, ungagcina kwi-bill yakho yamandla, ukuba akunjalo ngokukhawuleza, ngokukhawuleza emva kokuba uyithenge.Ngokuqinisekileyo, ukunyuka kokulingana akunamsebenzi de kube iphaneli ifikelele ekupheleni kobomi bayo, ngoko akuyena wonke umntu ozimisele ukubala kuyo.
Nokuba ngaphandle kokunyuka kwe-equity, kwilizwe lam inkqubo ye-14,000 yeedola iya kuthatha iminyaka eyi-7 ukuhlawula emva kwekhredithi yerhafu, engekho kakhulu kwinkqubo ye-25 yeminyaka.Ukongeza, njengoko iindleko zamafutha e-fossil zinyuka, ixesha lokubuyisela lifutshane.E-UK, iiphaneli zelanga ziqikelelwa ukuba zihlawule kwisithuba nje seminyaka emine ngenxa yokunyuka kwamaxabiso erhasi yefosili.
Ukuba udibanisa iiphaneli zelanga kunye nenkqubo yebhetri yasekhaya efana ne-Powerwall, ixesha lokubuyisela linokunqunyulwa phakathi.Kwaye njengoko kukhankanyiwe ngasentla, kukho inkuthazo yerhafu ekhoyo xa uthenga ezi mveliso.
Kwakhona, ukuba uthenga imoto yombane, unokufumana i-$ 7,500 yekhredithi yerhafu kwezinye iimeko, kwaye usebenzisa itshaja ekhawulezayo emini ukuze uhlawule imoto yakho ngeepaneli zelanga, okanye usebenzisa ibhetri yasekhaya njengePowerwall.Inkqubo ehlawula ixesha elincinci lokukhulula zombini kumatshini kunye nephaneli, ukonga kwigesi kunye nombane.
Xa ndithetha inyani, kum kubonakala ngathi ukuba ungumninimzi kwaye uhlala kwikhaya lakho ngoku eminye iminyaka elishumi, mhlawumbi uchitha imali ngokungafaki iipaneli zelanga.
Ngaphandle kweendleko, wanelisekile kukuncitshiswa kokukhutshwa kweCO2.Iiphaneli zethu zivelise i-33.5 MWh yokukhanya kwelanga, okuthi, ukuba akwanele, yanciphisa kakhulu imveliso yethu yekhabhoni.Asicingi ukuba siya kuba kule ndlu ixesha elide, okanye siza kufaka iipaneli ezininzi kwaye sifakele impompo yobushushu, kwaye ngoku irhafu enkulu yetyala.
