The weather may be cold or not, but those who switched to solar power this year are enjoying the savings! If you are anything like me, then you may still be searching for the perfect holiday gift to give your family and friends. There’s no better gift to give than a brand-new solar system! Solar installations are a gift that will last a lifetime. We’ll look at why solar is a great gift for this holiday season and how it can be a wise investment.
The Festive Season Reminder
It is important to remember that there is a real possibility of the solar industry being shaken by the Net Energy Metering voting scheduled for December 15th. You can find out more about the differences between the NEM 2.0 agreement and the proposed NEM 3.0 update by reading our analysis of the impending decision. No matter which agreement we choose to ring in 2019, solar will remain a stable, sound investment that offers meaningful returns. NEM is only one part of the solar value proposition. Solar would be just as attractive today without Net Energy Metering.
Contact one of our solar consultants today if you would like to learn more about the differences between the proposed and current agreements or if you wish to make the most of the existing system before it expires.
Rooftops
We don’t recommend trying to wrap a solar system and store it under your Christmas tree this year. However, there is no better time than now to have a team up on your roof installing your solar panels. Installing a solar panel system will increase the value of your home from the moment it is operational. The property value of a home can increase by $4000 to $6000 for every kW of solar power installed. This means that bigger systems create more value. Considering the price of solar, this property value increase represents a fantastic return on investment.
The local housing market is ultimately what will determine the value of a solar power system. However, all signs indicate that it can add thousands of dollars to the value of your home the moment you install it. Even if that were all solar could offer, you would still consider installing a system in your home. But the benefits of solar don’t stop there.
Keep the (Tree Lights) On
The system itself adds value to the home, but we are all here to benefit from what it is designed to do: generate electricity! You’ll gain energy independence as your solar system works. You’ll also be protected against potential price increases and outages while the savings on your energy bill pay for your solar system.
When your repayment period is over? You’ll be able to save money for yourself and your family without having to pay anything! If you expect a life cycle of 25, that’s thousands of dollars of savings on your initial investment. Do you want to know what 25 years’ worth of savings will look like?

Great Investments Can Be Financed by Great Financers
What kind of gift exchange is this if you don’t get something special? When you are considering a gift that will be a great investment for this year, keep in mind the incredible financing options available to those who want to use them. You may be wondering what kind of opportunities are available. What if you installed solar today and didn’t pay anything until next year?

We’re pleased to announce our new partnership. This will allow you to get started in solar with a 0-down, 0-interest financing option. Mosaic financing helps us achieve our goal of giving everyone a holiday gift.
