Why the big rush to go solar?

Why the big rush to go solar?

There is no longer any mystery about the appeal of solar energy. News reports tell us almost every day about some event around the world that is caused by global warming. For example, Japan is experiencing their hottest summer since records have been filed. Many premature deaths are the result and Japan is just the most obvious example of this. Reports of record heat have been received from Canada, Europe, and here in the United States. Killer wildfires and dangerous droughts are two of the more notable examples of the effects of global warming. So how do we cope with this problem that destroys so many? There is currently only one workable answer: solar power.

Solar incentives have been extended to 2019

Currently, generous subsidies and other incentives are available to motivate the installation of solar power. But how long will they be around for?  Various governments have changed or reduced rebates and incentives with little or no warning on several occasions. When these support programs are altered, the trend has been to less generous incentives that are sometimes not providing enough to motivate a solar investment. Today consumers can get thousands in rebates on a residential solar power system.

Solar panels will allow you to make your own power

Solar panel prices are still falling, but tariffs levied against China’s solar panels are making consumers more reticent to make the solar investment. So there’s no better time than the present to install solar. Why put off tomorrow what you can do today? Get a  quote for home solar power now or grab your electricity bill, contact our team and they will let you know how much you will save using different solar power configurations.

Beat the looming electricity price rises

While electricity price rises have dropped off in recent times in some locations, it’s unlikely the situation will remain that way. There's a volatility in fossil fuel markets that makes solar power especially refreshing. Often, just prior to major electricity price hikes, there is a lot of interest in home solar. Real estate professionals highly encourage home and business owners to install solar if possible, since it’s a great selling point for existing homes. Scientists tell us we must install a lot more solar in order to reach our climate goals and we must also use our existing power more efficiently also. Installing solar can be contagious in a neighborhood and it benefits everyone's air quality and makes us less dependent on foreign sources of energy.

Home improvement with solar means real money

Considering selling your home soon? The real estate market is increasingly leaning towards environmentally friendly features and home buyers will pay more for high-quality energy-saving features. For example, picture two similar properties; the difference being one has a solar power system that you’ve installed. This almost always gives you an edge in a competitive real estate market. Who wouldn't want to eliminate their electric bill and generate their own energy while helping save the environment? Studies show that real estate values increase substantially with solar panels installed. Unlike home improvements such as a pool, a solar power system is very low maintenance and it can provide you long-term ongoing financial benefits. In fact, solar can provide one of the best returns on investment available today.

Solar power is here to stay, and the sooner you explore how much you can save, the sooner you can enjoy the benefits of residential solar power. The time to install a solar energy system is now.
