Harding Township, New Jersey – June 2010 – As the tragedy in the Gulf reminds us, there are alternatives to our dependence on oil for our energy. One local company wants to make this perfectly clear. “You hate to say ‘I told you so,’ but oil is a finite resource that is getting harder to extract and getting it out of the ground, or in this case the Gulf, comes with risk,” stated Joe Marazzo, CEO of solar energy provider Clean Energy USA.
The company, which has been installing solar panels atop both residential and commercial buildings in the area, understands that while people have heard about solar power, most know very little about it. “To help educate the public and potential customers alike, we have added a solar center at our Harding Township office,” said Mr. Marazzo. By visiting the office at 912 Mt. Kemble Avenue, walk-ins are given the opportunity to see and hear just how solar panels work, how they are installed, how they benefit the environment and more. Through an interactive program, you can calculate your monthly savings in dollars and even see how much carbon emissions you can reduce. Clean Energy USA also plans to offer on-site seminars as well as take their clean energy message into the local schools.
The office, naturally, is powered by its own solar panels installed on the facility’s roof. Individuals and businesses can learn about taking advantage of RECs (Renewable Energy Credits) which can eventually provide income. “Imagine your home becoming an income earner,” Mr. Marazzo continued. “The power companies will actually pay you for what you produce. This includes total production of what you use for your home or business and what you send back to the grid by spinning the meter backwards. On average in New Jersey, your initial solar panel investment will be paid off in less than five years. Oil certainly won’t give you that, but it will leave a big carbon footprint, for sure.” Mr. Marazzo also noted that there are many federal, state and local rebate programs available for investing in clean energy.
