Solar tax credits wouldn't be a tax "burden" for other citizens if CORPORATIONS WOULD BE TAXED APPROPRIATELY AND PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!

Just curious what do you think Corporations fair share of taxes should be?

By the way it is the opinion of most economists that corporations really do not pay taxes but pass it on in the form of higher prices.

However have you considered that business take their profits and invest them in order to grow their business and provide more jobs? Or they pay dividends to their investors and that must is used for investments or buying stuff that also creates jobs.

Do you really think govt uses our money more efficiently than businesses?

Hello. Just validating that when we had severe hail damage to our roof in Colorado, all of the solar panels remained in perfect condition though the roof needed to be replaced. Feathering shingles wasn’t an allowable option. 9k to have the panels removed, and stacked in our back yard for 30 days, and then put back on when the new roof was completed. Insurance covered it. That was 1/3rd of the cost of the project.

Do you have solar electric? Does it live up to its reputation for saving money on the electric bill? Who did the job for you? Would you hire them again?

TIA from the novice.

Electricity rates here are too cheap to make Solar worthwhile. I've had solar on a house in CA and even with their very high rates it was hardly worthwhile.
