Benefits of Solar Energy
Why go solar? Paying the electric company is not a pleasant experience when the cost only grows over time. Don’t waste your hard earned money on electricity when you can cut that expense now and generate your own clean free energy! Most utilities force heavy electricity consumers to pay at a higher rate than “baseline” consumers. Home solar arrays are typically sized to offset higher usage so that the remaining electricity you’re buying is at the lower baseline rate. A typical array will produce enough to cover 50 to 100 percent of your electricity consumption.
- How to Know if Solar is Right for Your Home
Air conditioning serves as a pretty handy litmus test. If you run it, chances are very good that you’ll save money from day one by going solar. Other candidates for immediate solar savings are large homes, older homes, homes with electric water heaters, households that do a lot of laundry and homes with swimming pools, space heaters or grow lights. But even if you’re a fogged-in energy miser and your electric bill is minuscule, you’re still going to save money with solar. Folks with high bills start saving right away but virtually everyone will save over the long run. For people who fall somewhere in the middle, you’ll probably break even in the short run and save over the long term. Contrary to popular belief, you can still have solar power on a cloudy day. The sun’s radiation penetrates through clouds, so your solar panels can still absorb energy from the sun. In fact, some studies have shown that solar panels perform better when the sun is not scorchingly hot. An overcast day provides a cool environment for your panels while still allowing them to absorb solar energy. - Solar power is more affordable than ever
The option to go solar is now available to everyone. Many financing options are available, whether you choose to purchase, finance or lease your solar panels, and various tax incentives and grants can help cut the cost as well. - Solar panels have long life
