The nation that leads the global economy…

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

In his State of the Union address, President Obama reiterated that “providing incentives for energy-efficiency and clean energy are the right thing to do for our future -– because the nation that leads the clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the global economy.  And America must be that nation.” See it here.

Waldt Renewables is a small business aimed at helping customers in eastern North Carolina  understand how they can leverage existing tax incentives to pay for turnkey renewable energy solutions for their homes and businesses.

We tell our customers that there is an investment when installing any of these solutions. But we believe, as do most of our customers, that renewable energy production is the right direction… from stabilizing energy costs over time to reducing our national economy’s dependence on foreign energy sources.

More importantly, we understand that the more people who are interested in and understand creating clean energy, the more positive an impact on not taxing the environmental future of this region.

Let us hope that our politicians here us on both the state and federal level about maintaining, or better yet increasing our clean energy incentives.

Windspire mentioned in 2009 Clean Energy Roundup Article

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

The Mariah Windspire wind turbine is mentioned in an “This Year in Clean Energy”…

“Congressional leadership has driven both energy and climate legislation; and even allowing a temporary installation of two U.S.-made wind turbines (one by Mariah Power and the other by Southwest Windpower) to remain at the base of the U.S. Capitol on the grounds of the U.S. botanical gardens — clearly symbolic of the commitment to clean energy technologies.”

North Carolina Renewable Energy Tax Credits

Monday, November 30th, 2009

In 2007, when the legislature passed NC Senate Bill 3, tax credits became available to both residential and corporate customers in North Carolina who were installing a renewable energy solution.

The credit covers up to 35% of the cost of solar or other renewable energy system, capped at $10,500 for residential systems and an unprecedented $2.5 million for commercial and industrial systems. Residential customers get that credit all in one year unless the total is more than 50% of their tax liability. If so, the rest of the credit is spread over 5 years. Businesses are required to take their credit over 5 years. See more about specific North Carolina tax credits here.

One really great feature of Senate Bill 3 is that you can also take a tax deduction for a donation to a non-profit organization that is working on a renewable energy project.

Waldt Renewables is the go to renewable energy solution provider for residential, commercial and institutional customers in northeastern, North Carolina. Contact us today for a customized proposal.

Waldt Renewables and Dare County Schools (assisted by Baker Renewable Energy) have helped to launch a Renewable Energy Discovery Zone so that kids can learn about renewable forms of energy. Funded by a grant from the Albermarle Pamlico Sound National Estuary Foundation and the Kitty Hawk Elementary School PTA, the two panel solar system and a marine wind turbine outfitted with weather monitoring capabilities, provides data to the school community and the outside world.
