It is becoming more and more apparent that going green can and does save you money, not just in the long term, but also in the short term with great incentives being offered by various local and national government bodies.

Electric cars, solar panels and wind turbines are just a few of the great incentive programmes that you can invest in and by doing so, you not only save yourself money, but you also play a major role in improving the quality of your life and those of your children for the future.

Electric Cars.

Until recently it was just too expensive to invest in an electric car, but now you can find them for less than $50,000 and not only are they cheaper but with the tax incentives offered by the government amounting to thousands as well as cash back in certain areas, the cost can almost be cut in half.

Solar Panels.

Utilizing the free energy provided by the sun means an investment in some rather expensive technology, but with some great incentive programes, you can dramatically reduce your overall monthly bill.  Depending on where you live and what your consumption rate is, you could easily have half or more of your monthly bill eliminated with an investment of around seven to ten thousand dollars.  Do the government offer incentives here too?  Sure do.

Wind Turbines.

Not the sexiest technology here, but definitely the cheapest.  If you want to reduce your electricity bill quickly without spending a fortune and you’re fortunate enough to live where there is consistent wind, then you’ll appreciate that this is an ideal situation that is easy to implement, has incentives for money and tax back credits.

Making Money Going Green.

For those with an entrepreneurial interest in making money whilst doing your bit, building solar panels may be just the industry to go into.  It is true that the cost of buying them is still very prohibitive, but building them is relatively easy and with just a little diy experience, you can build and sell your solar panels for a nice little profit.  This website has a range of articles that will help you to get set up and earning with an investment of less than three hundred dollars and a weekend of your time even if you don’t have any of the equipment that is needed to get your business of the ground.

With a growing number of people wanting to invest in solar energy, there is an endless and eager client base that you can tap into and make some money.
