The Perks of Going Solar

OK, so Christmas is near.  New Year's awaits.  Time of year for gifts, perks.  Why not think about the gift of renewables.  It is, as you will see here, a gift that will give for many years. It is a joyful, loving gift.  It is a gift of the heart.

God bless you all.  Thank you for your commitment to smartly building a cleaner, brighter future.  

The Perks of Going Solar

 









 
Getting a solar power system has piqued your interest. You have heard that solar has many benefits, and you like benefits. But really, is going solar a smart long–term investment that can reduce your carbon footprint?

Absolutely! Let’s break down the top perks of going solar.

Reduced Electric Bills

Solar power can reduce your electric bills to almost nothing. This top benefit happens because you’re generating your own electricity and relying less on your power company. Thus, you save on your power bill.

Your savings also multiply over time! And since solar panels last 25–30 years on average, you can easily save thousands.

Increased Property Value

Are your moving plans keeping you from going solar right away? Think again! Recent studies found that property values increase after solar power is installed. You’ll earn back your investment or more when you sell a solar–powered home.

Solar–powered Profit

You may actually get paid for having an energy-efficient house! Solar renewable energy credits (SRECs) and net metering help you with this. Literally, your power company might hand you a check if you produce more power than you need for your home. Talk about return on investment!  There is also a 30% federal solar tax credit available and some states offer a solar tax credit for going solar.

Rising Energy Costs

Most people can’t control their energy bill because one power company dominates their entire area. With solar energy, you can have control. The cost of going solar has decreased more than 70 percent in the past decade, but electricity costs have risen about 5 percent. Electricity won’t get cheaper either. Going solar means you’ll be in the driver’s seat, not your power company.

Environmental Happiness

Solar energy makes the environment happy by reducing carbon emissions. You can reclaim your footprint in the world now. It also helps move the U.S. away from fossil fuels, making the nation safer and more independent than ever. We can’t think of a more admirable perk to solar energy than helping out the country and the environment at the same time.

Let’s sum it all up. Going solar means that you will lower your electric bill, increase your home’s value, receive a paycheck from your power company, avoid unexpected rises in power costs and make the environment love you. Well, what are you waiting for?
