Homeowners across the globe are realizing that going solar is easier and more cost-effective than ever, producing real value and cash savings from the moment their new system goes live. The reasons vary for each person, though they mainly come down to the following:
Solar energy can be used to heat and cool your home, but it has almost no impact on the global climate. By comparison, electricity generated by power plants produces carbon dioxide emissions that scientists say pose serious threats to the environment.
While nonrenewable energy sources like oil, gas and coal are becoming increasingly scarce, the sun’s energy is limitless. Wherever sunlight shines, electricity can be generated.
Having a system that creates solar energy means you use less electricity from your utility company. This is significant, especially when you consider 56% of energy use in a typical U.S. home comes from heating and cooling.
The U.S. federal government and some states provide tax credits for renewable-energy systems. Depending on where you live, you may also be eligible for incentives through your utility company.
An investment in a solar-energy system may improve the value of your home. Surveys conducted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development have shown that home values rise an average of $20 for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills.
The more sunlight harnessed by the system, the less electricity you need from your utility supplier.
The sun has been around for billions of years and is likely to burn on for billions more to come. It’s easy to see solar energy’s future is bright.
