Are you thinking of installing solar panels on your roof? Every day, more homeowners switch to solar.
If you’re hesitant, we understand. It is a major home renovation. It involves a lot of paperwork. It is not without its uncertainties. Are there any pitfalls? Do you wait for prices to drop? It is as eco-friendly as they claim. What is the process of solar payment?
It’s okay. It isn’t as overwhelming or scary as they claim.
These questions can be quickly addressed:
- You don’t have to wait for the right time. The sooner you get solar, the more benefits you will see. It’s not too late or too early. You should consider going solar if you are interested.
- The prices are at an all-time low. PV solar panel technology is improving, and trends have stabilized. Waiting is not a good idea. Utility prices will continue to rise while you wait.
- Yes, solar panels can be used to generate power. This means that your roof will have a reliable source of electricity for many decades. Every watt of electricity produced by solar panels once operational comes from the sun’s energy and not from burning coal at a power plant. Coal is expensive and pollutes the air. At this point in the solar revolution, every panel added to a roof decreases the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity. One home is indeed only a small step. But it’s an important step in the right direction. Every step counts. One rooftop at a.m., we are cleaning up our air!
- There are many payment options available for solar homeowners. We will gladly explain the differences and let you choose the one that suits you best. We want to ensure that you spend less each month and not more. Therefore, we will work hard to give transparency and make it easy to compare your bills.
After overcoming your fear and uncertainty, you will see the clear benefits of going solar.
Five of the greatest benefits to solar energy are directly at your home, the homeowner.
There are five direct benefits to solar power:
Solar power can reduce your monthly expenses.
Our goal is to help you spend less. You’ll be able to have more money each month by using the right amount and choosing the right payment plan. Your savings will increase over time so that in ten years, you will be able to save thousands or even thousands of dollars.
Utility rates can fluctuate depending upon several factors. In some cases, utilities may increase your rates without warning or consent. You can switch to solar and lock in your rates for 20 years. There won’t be any surprises like you get from traditional utilities.
Solar panels can increase the value of your home.
Your home is another way that solar panels can make you money. Zillow Research shows that homes with solar panels sell faster — an average of 4.1% more than homes without them.
This number will vary from one market to the next, but it is not impossible to predict. You can expect solar panels to increase the value of homes where they are higher than the national average. For example, in New York City, solar panels add an average 5.4% increase to the home’s value.
These savings can easily cover the cost of installation and panels. Solar is a good investment in your home’s value, as it not only saves you money on electricity each month but also increases your home’s value. You may also be able to sell your house faster by having solar panels installed. According to the US Department of Energy, solar panels can be considered upgrades similar to renovated kitchens and refinished basements.
Solar panels clean up our air.
Did you know that all fossil fuels, including coal, oil and natural gas, can be replaced by 20 days of sunlight? It is amazing to imagine how much more we could power with clean, renewable sunlight instead of extracting, transporting and burning fossil fuels.
It’s the extraction, transportation, and burning of these finite resources that most pollute our atmosphere. You can help your utility company reduce the number of resources it uses to provide power to your community by switching to solar at your home.
Your air will be cleaner if you use less fossil fuel than your neighbors. This is not only a nice thing, but it also saves you money. Asthma is less common in areas with cleaner air. Also, tax resources will be less stretched if medical problems are reduced. A cleaner environment could mean that you pay fewer taxes. Another way solar benefits us all is through the use of our sun!
This is not fiction. The EPA estimates that since 1963 adopted the Clean Air Act, we have saved $2 trillion and hundreds of thousands of lives. We prevent serious asthma attacks, bronchitis attacks, heart attacks, and other hospital admissions.
Solar power keeps you connected and in control.
Your online monitoring app allows you to take full control of your power. Your solar panels’ electricity production will be monitored from your smartphone. All you need is a smartphone or tablet. This will allow you to see your power production and power usage.
If homeowners want to maximize their solar money, monitoring the panels’ productivity can help them see where they could make improvements. Small changes can lead to big savings or money back from the utility, depending on how net metering works.
Although net metering may not be available in every area, you can save more than you spend each month.
Solar panels keep your home powered even during blackouts.
True, solar panels are connected to the grid by themselves. If the utility company cuts off power, it will also shut down your solar-powered home. If you opt for a complete-home solution that includes battery storage, your home will be able to become a self-contained power source.
The complete setup will include more than solar panels and a backup power battery. A smart switch will connect your home to the primary grid and seamlessly switches between your system and the grid if there is a blackout. Multiple microinverters can provide secure backup to your backup battery. They prevent power loss and ensure maximum energy access.
