Are you tired of figuring out what to buy your in-laws for Christmas? Do you worry that the toy your child has been begging for will not be available by New Year’s Day?
We don’t necessarily suggest forgoing traditional holiday gifts entirely, but one present is better than the rest in terms of durability, eco-friendliness, and cost savings. Think outside the box this holiday season and give or invest in solar panels.
DURABILITY AND LONG-LASTING RESULT
Panels will last longer than most gifts. You and your family can look forward to solar power use for 25 years or even longer. Solar panels won’t go out of fashion anytime soon. Their power will always remind loved ones about your gift-giving talents.
ECO-FRIENDLINESS
You’re giving the gift of solar energy to your loved ones and the environment. Solar panels can help reduce your carbon footprint. You can actively participate in creating a greener future for your family and the planet.
A MOMENT OF LEARNING
The best gifts are the ones that teach lessons even after the wrapping is gone. Solar panel installation can be a great way to set a good example to your children. Solar power is a great way to show your priorities and teach future generations valuable lessons about sustainability.
SAVINGS ON TAX AND COST
Solar panels may not be the most expensive gift, but they are a great option. They’re cheaper than a pair of socks or a bottle of wine in the long-term.
Your monthly electricity bill can often account for a significant portion of your monthly expenses. However, a solar panel system can significantly reduce your utility bills. You can still expect significant savings, even if the panels don’t replace all your energy needs.
You can also expect solar energy tax benefits, or solar energy credit (or solar energy tax credits), after installing solar panels. The federal tax credit (ITC ) is the most popular tax benefit. It gives you a credit equal to 30% of the total cost of your solar-powered system.
You might receive different tax incentives or solar energy tax benefits depending on where you live. Keep this in mind when researching rebate and benefits specific to your region.
MINIMAL MAINTENANCE
Another benefit to gifting solar panels is their low maintenance . You don’t have to wait in holiday traffic to repair a panel’s screen or purchase replacement batteries.
To keep them in good shape, you will only need to clean them after they are installed. We have already mentioned that solar panels’ average lifespan before they need to be replaced is approximately 25 years. Enjoy your solar energy, so relax and enjoy it!
A IMPROVED HOME VALUATION
In 2022, solar panels were a popular trend in houses. According to Zillow’s study, solar panels will continue to be a hot trend in the future.
Zillow and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report that solar panels can increase the resale value of your home. Homes with solar panels were sold on average for 4% less than homes without them in 2022.
