Purchasing an energy efficient home with an affordable solar-powered electricity option is even smarter. Homebuyers who select this option will save an estimated $350 on their annual electric bill.

A homeowner with the solar powered homes can expect to shave $350 a year off the home's electric bill, with the system generating about 2.6 kilowatt hours per year. That could account for roughly 30 percent of a home's overall electric needs, based on the state average of 7,200-kilowatt hours of electricity use.

The solar electric or PV systems works this way: The rear of the home must be sited properly on the lot, so that the roof panels can face south. In the simplest applications, PV cells power wristwatches and calculators, but these larger systems can power household appliances and other electrical equipment A piece of electrical equipment is a machine, powered by electricity and usually consists of an enclosure, a variety of electrical components and often a power switch. Examples of Electrical Equipment

  • Fire alarm panel
. The Cannon systems include 24-100 watt cobalt blue modules that are connected to form an "array" that captures the sun's energy.

The electricity is either used immediately or can reduce your electric bill through "net" metering, meaning your electric meter runs backward to account for your excess electricity, saving you money.
