The many reasons to switch to solar

Homeowners are increasingly looking to take advantage of solar power for cost savings, environmental improvements, and convenience. Now, in addition to saving cash, there are multiple other benefits that you can take advantage of in the world of solar energy. Educating yourself on these issues will make it a lot easier to see why solar panels are the solution to one of our biggest problems: rampant pollution. 

Enhance the value of your home

Making improvements to your home is one of the fun parts of being a homeowner. It can make your space more comfortable, functional and efficient. However, certain improvements will also help you in the long term when you decide to sell the home. Solar panels are an ideal way to enhance the overall value of your home. In fact, you can increase the value by as much as 17 percent. Another benefit is that homes with solar panels tend to sit on the market for a shorter period of time and sell faster.

There are multiple solar incentives

There are several tax credits and rebates available from various government and private entities that make solar installation extremely affordable. It is wise to talk to your accountant, as well as your contractor, to learn more about what these issues are and what actions you need to do to take advantage of them. These will help you to recover some of the funds that you spend on installing solar energy, making this an even less expensive and more cost-effective home improvement. One of the most commonly utilized credits is the Federal Solar Tax Credit.

Reduced power outages

What usually happens when a storm or a power outage occurs in your neighborhood? I can remember how that used to be. I would have to drive a long distance just to get a shower at a friend’s house. One of the great benefits of generating your own power is that power outages are no longer an issue as long as you have solar batteries to store excess power. As long as your solar cells have some energy remaining before the sun comes back up, you will maintain your electricity when everyone else is living in the dark until the grid electricity is restored.
