Why should I transition to solar?

Why should I transition to solar?

News reports tell us almost every day about some event around the world that is caused by climate change. Climate scientists tell us that global weather patterns are being affected by the Arctic ice melt. For example, Japan is experiencing the hottest summer since meteorological 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 collected from Canada, Europe, and here in the United States. Huge 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 kills so many? There is currently only one available answer: solar power.

Solar subsidies help, but how much longer will we have them?

Financial incentives to install solar are important to draw in new customers, but the investment is a sound one even without incentives. Currently, generous subsidies and other incentives are ready to install solar power. But how long will they be around for?  Various governments have slashed, changed or reduced rebates and incentives with little or no warning several different times. When these support programs are changed, the trend has been to less generous incentives that may not be enough to propel a solar investment. Today you can get thousands of dollars in rebates on a residential solar power system.

Solar panels will give you the ability to manage your energy use

Solar panel prices are still declining, but tariffs levied against China’s solar panels are making consumers more hesitant 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? After solar installation, electric bills are likely to be a thing of the past. 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.

Defeat the inevitable electricity price rises

While electricity price rises have eased off in recent times in some locations, it’s unlikely the situation will remain this way.  Just prior to major electricity price hikes, there is often 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 huge selling point for existing homes.

Home improvement with solar energy

Considering selling your home soon? The real estate market is increasingly tending towards environmentally friendly features and home buyers will pay more for high-quality energy-saving features. For example, picture two similar homes; the difference being one has a solar power system that you’ve installed. This always gives you an edge in a competitive real estate market.

Unlike home improvements such as a pool, a solar power system is a very low maintenance and it can produce a long-term ongoing financial benefit. In fact, solar can provide one of the best returns on investment currently available. Investment experts are quite enthusiastic about solar investments since they pay for themselves rather quickly and save money on your electric bill for the life of the system, which can be decades. You also get the great pleasure of generating your own "juice" that can be available during power outages and spikes. Now is the time for solar!

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. Please visit our solar blog to find out more about the benefits of going solar.
