Duro-Last Cool White roofs and Solar PV

Well you need a new roof and don't know what to get. Well maybe go on the energy star webs site and look around for what will save you some money. One thing you will discover is that the government and many local power companies will pay you to put on a white roof and solar PV. Why is this you may think? Well for one a white roof will save you money on power by lowering your cooling bill in the summer and your heating bill in the winter. It does this by reflecting heat in the summer and by not melting snow pack in the winter, then the snow pack acts as extra insulation. Well then you have solar, it's free power from the sun once you have it set up. All power suppliers are mandated by the Federal government to get a higher level of renewable energy over the next 10 years. So for you this means many power suppliers will help pay for a renewable power system and power saving home upgrades, which in turn helps them.  If you generate more power than you use you will also get a check back at then end of every month. Solar power costs more than traditional power  so you get more money back for the power you generate than the power you might use on a non peak supply month. The best white roof on the market today is Duro-Last and when paired with solar PV you can really save or make some money. Remember you are also doing a great deal to help the environment in the process.
