Installing solar for your home or business will help you save on your energy bills, protect the environment, and even gain some great tax rebates if you live in California.
But is installing solar really worth the investment? Here’s everything you need to know.
Lowering your energy bills
With solar installed in your home, you can become energy independent, and spend less money on your energy bills.
Solar will lower your monthly payments (not to mention your carbon footprint.)
By some estimates, installing solar panels on your home can save you anywhere between $10,000 and $30,000 in a 20 year period. That’s a lot more money for other things you need, like your home, vacation, or grocery shopping budget.
Installation doesn’t have to be expensive
If you want to save money with solar, you have to invest in the initial installation.
Solar used to be too expensive to really be worth it for the average homeowner. Today, things are different. A Placer energy solutions company can install your solar panels or solar roofing tiles quickly and affordably.
As solar energy continues to adapt and become more innovative, it’s only becoming more affordable. Now, your investment will pay off within a year of switching to solar.
Other energy solutions
Solar is affordable and accessible, but it isn’t the only way to reduce your home energy costs. Other affordable solutions are also available.
Upgraded windows and doors, for example, don’t require any expensive technology. They’ll insulate your home to lock in warm and cool temperatures, so you don’t need to run your HVAC system to keep your home comfortable.
And speaking of HVAC — renovating your heating and cooling to a more efficient system is an easy, affordable way to use less money.
Solar is worth it!
To sum it up: solar is totally worth it if you’re ready to make the investment! Your new solar panels or shingles will pay themselves off quickly, and you can feel better about your energy consumption.
But, if you can’t afford solar right now, there are plenty of other low-cost energy solutions that will help you lower your bills and reduce energy waste in your home.
