Switching to a solar system has tangible benefits that you can experience immediately. First, you’ll have more complete control of your energy cost. Using our system, you’ll have the choice of where you get your power, which helps to avoid annual rate increases.

Additionally, upgrading to a solar system allows you to list your home as a “smart home.” This helps it sell faster in the event that you’re looking to move. Solar systems also increase the overall value of your home as it is easily transferrable and many homeowners prefer lower expenses; in many states, solar is cheaper than normal utility providers.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory offers more specific information regarding how much your property value will increase with a solar system. According to its research, on average, every 1 kw of solar adds $5,900 in value. In addition, every $1 saved on your energy bill through solar power adds $20 to your home’s total value.

Finally, solar systems are much better for the environment than traditional power grids. Cities are becoming more polluted by the day. Do your part in protecting the environment when you switch to solar.

Traditional Grid vs Solar

Traditional power grids are inefficient, terrible for the environment, and expensive to maintain. Solar systems, on the other hand, are simple, efficient, good for the planet, and cheaper for you. The three main parts of a solar system are the panels, power inverter, and net meter.

The solar panels convert sunlight into direct current energy. The power inverter takes that energy and turns it into alternating current electricity that can be used by your home. Finally, the net meter rolls backward as the system produces more power than is used.
