As the issue of climate change gains increasing attention in the media, people are becoming even more ecologically conscious. This issue is particularly pertinent in Hawaii, where residents have a unique, close relationship to their beautiful environment. There is much that can be done to reduce our environmental impact, and the good news is that many of these measures are also economically beneficial. With the help of Tory’s Roofing & Waterproofing, Inc., Oahu’s best roofing contractors and local leaders in energy-efficient roofing practices, not only will your home become greener, but you'll end up saving money in the process!

How exactly is this possible? The answer is simple: by installing a solar panel roof. 

As long as there is sunshine—which is the case in Oahu for a whopping 271 days a year—this technology generates electricity. As a result, your electricity bills are reduced because not only are you powering your home, but, during peak hours, you are actually sending energy back into the grid. This is no small thing because Hawaii’s relative isolation makes its electricity prices the most expensive nationwide. Furthermore, greening your home in this way makes you eligible for a 35% Hawaii state tax credit, which is part of why current estimates predict that solar panels will pay for themselves within four years.

This technology is easy to maintain, too. Aside from the occasional cleaning and maintenance of the lines, there is practically no upkeep efforts required. You may need to cut back some vegetation to ensure that the panels get direct sunlight, but this is a small price to pay when you consider both the environmental and economic benefits of solar roofing.

As a roofing contractor that cares deeply about the environment as well as their customers' best long-term interests, Tory’s Roofing & Waterproofing, Inc. in Pearl City will help you do your part to reduce your green footprint and save money at the same time.
