The Benefits of Going Solar at Home
Save money, keep your lights on if the grid goes down, increase the value of your home, help save the planet and it is now efficient and affordable!
Save Money
Are $0 energy bills and credits for future months appealing? Taking control of your energy bill and the ability to stop renting power is the immediate solar appeal.
While utility needs are customized for every customer and incorporated in your consultation, the cost of the solar system is almost always less than the current cost of current utility bills – save money immediately! The time to completely pay back the solar investment and have no costs going forward is included and presented for homeowners to make informed decisions.
Today residential solar is more affordable and efficient than ever and the incentives to capitalize and reduce the demand on the grids are generous. In the very least, taxpayers can take advantage of the US Government investment tax credit (ITC) of 30% on the cost of solar systems on their income taxes. This can be combined with other incentives like state programs, utility-funded programs and grants that support clean energy. Learn more about generous tax incentives.
Keep the lights on when the power goes out! Generating your own power combined with battery storage can bring peace of mind. You no longer have to be at the mercy of the grid, worry about the disruption of power due to rolling brown outs or weather or provide backup like a generator. And, you no longer have to worry about the cost of utilities increasing.
In addition to saving money, Solar increases the market value of your home. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Zillow both have research that proves your home value increases when you can save money on energy. Prospective buyers will spend 4.1% more for a solar-powered home, and even more in some markets.
