Going solar is a major investment. Because of the large upfront cost, you may be wondering why you should go solar. The following are the top 10 reasons to go solar now.
1. Reduce or Eliminate Your Power Bill
Solar could greatly reduce or even eliminate your power bill making this one of the biggest reasons to go solar. Electricity is often a high monthly expense for many people. However, after purchasing solar panels Solcius customers save an average of 30% off their monthly utility bill. The electricity our solar panels produce could offset your electrical usage. That means you could be significantly reducing your power bill or even potentially eliminating your power bill. Your savings depends on a variety of factors such as geographic location, system offset, etc. Use the slider below to get an idea of how much you could save!
2. Solar May Increase the Value of Your Home
A study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that “solar panels are capitalized at roughly a 3.5% premium.” By adding solar to your home, the resale value could potentially increase. Read more of the study from the National Bureau of Economic Research here. You can also contact your local real estate agent for information on solar premiums in your area.
3. Avoid Rising Energy Costs
The cost of electricity continues to rise every year across the country. By investing in a solar power energy system for your home now, you are avoiding the risk of continually rising electric costs and locking in the cost for solar now.
4. Solar is a Great Return on Investment
Purchasing a solar panel system for your home is a great return on investment (ROI). Typically, a homeowner will generate a return on investment of between 10-20% on their residential solar panels. That means it would only take about 5-10 years for a homeowner to see an ROI from their solar panel system. (https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/why-go-solar)
5. Going Solar is Good for the Environment
Solar does not pollute the air or produce greenhouse gases. The emission of greenhouse gases has increased by 35% over the past two decades. Going solar will greatly reduce your carbon footprint! Over 25 years, the average residential solar power system (6 KW) is projected to offset 301,034 lbs of CO2. That is equivalent to planting 2,258 trees.
6. Limited to No Maintenance
Going solar involves little to no maintenance. In fact, solar panels are very durable and typically are not affected even by big rain or hailstorms. In the event that something does go wrong with your solar system, Solicus offers a warranty. Speak with your solar expert for more information.
7. Easy Financing Options
Solcius works with many different financing companies to make it easy for our customers to qualify for solar. Speak with your solar expert for more information about financing.
8. Federal Solar Tax Credit
Currently the federal government is offering a federal solar tax credit which could cover 30% of the cost of your solar panels. However, this tax credit is for a limited time and is soon to expire. Contact a solar expert from Solcius to find out more about this federal solar tax credit.
9. Keep the Lights on During a Power Outage with Battery Storage Solar Power
Even during a power outage, your home can still have electricity with the help of battery backups. Battery storage allows you to store electricity that your solar panels generate. Keep in mind that batteries are an extra cost on top of the solar panels.
