Solar technological breakthroughs

Harnessing solar energy is not a new idea. This is because there are countless solar companies with the mission to make the world a better place. The world needs solar companies dedicated to helping the planet and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. But it’s also extremely important to make solar easier and more attractive so that the average person can get on board the solar revolution. 

Simplified solar processes

Implementing solar technology for the average person is getting easier, but it is still not a simple process. You can’t just waltz into your local hardware store, take solar panels off the shelf, and install them on your roof. In reality, it’s a complicated process full of paperwork, waiting time, calculations and designs, and often permits or other applications that need to be submitted to governing bodies. The customer is generally stuck project managing the entire process — coordinating between the installer, the supplier, and the government.
Streamlining and automating the steps in the process of installing solar is critical. Some examples of this include using solar software to instantly generate savings using satellite images, taking care of permits for the customer, promising one-day installations, and making solar power easier to understand with simple content.

Improved curb appeal

Solar energy needs to be more appealing. As Professor Gillingham found in his study, solar adoption rates depend largely on whether our neighbors make the change to solar. However, if installing solar will sacrifice the appearance of our homes, this desire is somewhat diminished.
As the demand for better looking solar increases, prominent companies like Panasonic and Tesla have invested in solar roofing and transparent window films. This is a significant step in the right direction. However, according to the Solar Action Alliance, these kinds of technologies, while innovative, are far from being as powerful as solar panels, and the payback period is more than twice as long. That doesn’t mean that they’re an unwise purchase. They would simply be less efficient, or that they won’t provide higher cost-savings in the future, but that’s a few years in the future.

Little to no maintenance

Fortunately, solar technology is improving every day. One of the main benefits to owning solar panels is how little maintenance they need after installation. With upgraded designs built to withstand all kinds of harsh weather, homeowners are mostly able to forget about their solar panels. Some solar companies even offer lifetime warranties for your peace of mind.
