Sep 21, 2021

Make solar work for you no matter your wallet size


Have you considered going solar? It’s an easy choice considering reduced electric bills and carbon emissions. But how do they benefit your home, as well as the environment around us? Can you afford solar panels, even with a tight budget?

Let’s examine how solar panels work


The sun is one of the most powerful sources of energy in this solar system, but how do you use it?  Through photovoltaic cells that have been installed on your home or business. When sunlight hits these panels they break apart to create direct current (DC), which can then be transferred into alternating current (AC).



Why solar panels are more efficient and affordable


It’s an abundant source of energy that is expected to triple over the coming years.  As this source of energy continues to grow, it is also becoming more affordable.  A record number of homeowners are using this renewable source of energy to power their homes.  According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, the industry experienced a 46 percent increase in growth this year, compared to last. 


Living in California, solar energy is a considerably important source of energy.  The
state ranks as number one for solar installations.  Solar panels thrive in these types of conditions and are perfect for panel efficiency. 


Solar panels are the future


Solar is an option that homeowners should think about as an investment.  It has long-term rewards and benefits.


A big factor in the affordability of solar is the incentives currently available. There are federal incentives and other programs vary by state and utility company.


Take advantage of the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which provides a 26 percent federal tax credit for homeowners who purchase and install solar systems on their homes.


Also, last March President Biden announced
the American Jobs Plan upgrading the nation’s infrastructure to include the extension of the federal tax credit.  This would imply significant growth for the solar industry. 


There are several reasons
why solar panels will end up saving you money in the long run making them a popular choice right now and in the future.
