Financing Residential Solar Power
Although competition is driving prices down, solar panel systems can require you departing with a chunk of change. Fortunately, the mortgage industry wants to talk to you.
Financing Residential Solar Power
If you are considering improving your home with a solar panel system or the hot new thin solar roofing systems, you need to learn three little letters EEM. EEM stands for energy efficient mortgage. It also stands for avoiding out of pocket costs to improve your home with a solar.
Energy efficient mortgages came to be because of a nudge from the government to lenders in an effort to promote the use of solar energy as a power source. Put another way, the government told lenders to do it and do it now. So, what exactly is an energy efficient mortgage? Glad you asked.
An energy efficient mortgage is a loan that allows you to incorporate the cost of your solar improvements into your mortgage loan. The improvements can cost up to 15 percent of the total value of your home. The lender will calculate the energy savings for you home because of the new solar system and will add that to the total loan value, letting you borrow more than normal. Put another way, it doesnt matter how much equity you currently have in your home, the solar financing is added on top of the loan. This, of course, lets you get a solar system without much out of pocket expense and you get to recover a good chunk of the cost through an increased mortgage interest deduction. Throw in tax credits, rebates and net metering incentives, and solar is getting mighty cheap if you know how to work the system.
Energy efficient mortgages have very few restrictions. You can get them for new construction or existing homes. The can be issued for single family residents, duplexes, condos and so on.
Frankly, it is a no brainer to go with an energy efficiency mortgage. Ask your lender for more information on the program so you can find out how to profit from a solar improvement to your home.

It's ok. Sturdy and will def hold up to outdoor weather. But very plastic looking. Have seen others for the price that look better.

They’re REALLY small. But they’re nice. I got the two larger ones and I’m glad I did because these alone wouldn’t have filled up my space

We purchased this set about 6 months ago and have been very happy so far. The quality and comfort for the money are wonderful. The cushions can easily be thrown into the washing machine, and still look like new despite multiple washings and continuous use.

There are just the two of us living at home so this is a very comfortable and useful set for us. It’s also very well-made, the cushions match beautifully with all the green, garden plants around and it looks quite wonderful on our patio.

These are small footprint but medium impact. They don’t come with anything in them and I wouldn’t put live plants in them. Luckily I had some fake succulents from another decoration that I pieced out to put in these. Looks cute!

First order required a replacement chair as damaged item sent out (no fault of delivery company) excellent customer service in handling problem and very good comms. Unfortunately after the items outside for 1 week there is rust markings already appearing on each piece of set. We originally didn't use a cover but it's certainly required as this obviously isn't even shower proof. Colour as shown in advertisement photos. Pretty bistro set however I wish it was a little more durable.

Exactly what I was looking for - a deck box to keep chair covers in, as well as an end table to set a drink on!

we've had this little set now for about 3 years and cant fault it. Zero signs of wear or damage through use. The set stays out all winter under a small cover and cleans up well. really pleased with it.
