One of the most clear cut benefits of solar panels is the ability to hedge utility prices. In the past ten years, residential electricity prices have gone up by an average of 5 to 10 percent annually. By investing in a solar energy system now, you can fix your electricity rate and protect against unpredictable increases in electricity costs. As a homeowner, going solar also helps you better forecast and manage your expenses. 

There are many reasons why homeowners go solar, but improving the environment and cutting energy costs are the most common. Many people are aware that solar is a great home efficiency upgrade and are eager to reduce their carbon footprint while also improving property value. 

The average homeowner can add significant value to their home when they purchase solar*. Installing solar power can give you a greater return on investment than most home renovations.  

Not only can solar increase the value of your home, it may also raise the chance of your home selling at a faster rate. Benefitting from solar without having to go through the install can be very attractive to potential buyers.

*This only applies when customer owns the solar system.  Does not apply when system is 3rd party owned such as PPA or Lease.

Renewable energy technology is continually advancing, and solar batteries are revolutionizing the entire solar industry!

Installing a solar battery as part of your home energy system allows you to store the extra energy your solar panels produce to use at night, instead of feeding it back into the electrical grid.

If you have a standard solar panel system, you’ll still lose power during a power outage because of how your panels are connected to the electric grid. However, when you add a battery to your system, your home can run off of the solar energy you have stored in the event that the grid goes down.
