Why Should I Consider Installing Solar Panels To My Property?
-
One of the top advantages to solar power energy is the cost savings associated with their installation. When sunlight is converted into solar energy, less power is used from the grid meaning homeowners end up saving a significant amount of money on energy.
Although solar panels seem like a large investment, homeowners will see their return in just a few short years due to the money saved on their annual energy costs.
-
As solar energy becomes an increasingly popular form of clean, renewable energy - potential homebuyers may be looking for homes with installed solar panels.
Due to your home being less reliant on power from the grid, potential homebuyers know that they’ll end up paying less in energy costs, as well as not have to worry about the initial investment and installation.
-
A common misconception with solar panels is that they need to be installed in areas with mass exposure to sunlight. The technology that goes into solar panels has exponentially improved throughout the years, allowing the panels to draw energy even when there is not an abundance of sun.
While it may be true that solar panels are less effective during inclement weather - modern solar panels are capable of working with less sunlight to achieve their objectives. Even in areas where it is cloudy or the solar panels are shaded, they are still able to obtain sunlight which is then converted to energy.
-
Solar energy is a clean and renewable energy source that does not emit any toxic pollutants that end up in our atmosphere, as well as local water supply.
Solar energy helps reduce the overall carbon footprint of a home by up to 22%!
To put into perspective, a typical home in the United States uses on average 15,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year, compared to a home equipped with solar panels which uses about 3,000 pounds less.
-
Once solar panels are installed to a home, they require very little yearly maintenance. It is important to keep your solar panels clean for maximum efficiency, so it is suggested that intermittent cleanings be done 2-3 times per year.

How Do Solar Panels Work?
The amount of sunlight that touches the earth’s surface in just a one-hour timeframe is enough to power the entire world’s energy consumption for an entire year.
When the sun shines onto a solar panel, the PV (photovoltaic) cells located within the panel absorb the sunlight and convert it into an energy source.
