When will we fully transition to solar energy?

What are the chief purposes for installing solar panels on your home or business? It's not a secret that global warming is here and clearly worsening over time. Is there an efficient energy solution that doesn't cause extensive disease and death? The answer is luckily yes. The only alternative energy answer that's ready to go today is solar power. Wind power has some shortcomings in smaller applications and other alternative energy sources are not yet ready to be a main player on the energy stage. 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 perks that you can take advantage of in the world of solar power. Educating yourself on these issues will make it a lot easier to see why solar panels are the solution to one of our biggest obstacles: widespread pollution. Scientists warn that time is running out and every effort we make to curb carbon emissions is a benefit to mankind.

Solar power will improve the value of your home

Making enhancements to your home is one of the more enjoyable parts of being a homeowner. Renovations can make your space more comfortable, practical and efficient. However, some improvements will also help you in the long term when you elect to sell the home. Solar panels are an outstanding way to enhance the overall value of your home or business. In fact, you can raise the value by as much as 17 percent with solar. Another advantage is that homes with solar panels tend to stay on the market for a shorter period of time and sell quicker and for more money than homes that do not power themselves.

There are many solar incentives and rebates available

There are several tax credits and rebates available from different government and private sources that make solar installation notably affordable. It is wise to talk to your accountant, as well as your contractor, to learn more about what these problems 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 your solar energy, system 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, which has been prolonged to 2019.

Decreased power outages from the electric grid

What normally happens when a power outage occurs in your neighborhood? I can remember how problematic 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 a problem as long as you have solar batteries to store excess power. As long as your solar cells have some energy left before the sun comes back up, you will keep your electricity when everyone else is living in the dark until the grid electricity is reestablished. But another great bonus of solar power is the thrill of knowing that you are generating your own power, free from interference from any other entity. Then, every month, when you pay your bills, you can have a pleasant moment knowing you won't have to pay an electric bill for decades. In addition, you are providing a great example for others and the more people who get on the solar bandwagon, the cleaner our air and water will be. Everyone benefits from the charm of solar energy.

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.
