Catch The Wave Of The Low Cost Of Solar

Going to the beach is fantastic.  The waves are crashing, and a dolphin is jumping out of the waves, often casting a friendly smile to the sunkissed bronzed families enjoying their soda pops and bananas.  That little white dog with a black spot on his eyes walks by, and you feel the gorgeous sun beam down on our face.  Life is magic.  Also, and speaking of our nearest stars rays, solar energy is magic.  Well, solar power isn't magic, but the current prices available on solar could make it seem that way.  The cost of solar has fallen so low, that the vast majority of people, from all walks of life, can go solar today.    

You were maybe asking yourself as you launched that frisbee, "how does a beach-loving fellow like myself get a great price on solar today."  Well, there are indeed a lot of options, and the internet is an excellent way to find out how to find the top solar companies while investigating how much you should pay for solar.  However, you must first consider a few things, remember to write these down before you leave the sandy shores, or you might forget.  Ok, here are first considerations for planning to buy solar.

What Is The Size Of My Home And What Is My Power Usage?

These are fundamental questions to ponder.  If you don't investigate your home size and energy usage, then you might as well be shooting fish in a barrel.  The fish you need to fry in this case is finding the right match for the size of a solar panel system.  There are many sizes of solar panels to consider, but the average household consumes about 11,000 kW per year.  So keep that in mind as a place to start.  We would recommend an energy audit by a professional to get the best bang for your money when looking to buy a low-cost solar panel system.  

Lease Or Buy A Solar Panel System

This dilemma is also a critical consideration to make when thinking about purchasing a low-cost solar panel system, one of which you hope will bring you the most savings over time.  Many large solar companies offer to finance, and if you can find a great deal, they can pay for themselves over a decade.  The great thing about working with a solar company for financing is that you maintain a connection with that company, and typically the contract comes with maintenance guarantees so that your product will be serviced when and if needed.   Of course, buying your solar panel system outright with cash will save you big on finance charges, taxes, and interest; so if you have the means, this will be your best choice.  Either way, utilizing the sun's gorgeous rays, for fun at the beach, or through saving yourself money, is going to be a very cool experience.
