Top Benefits of Solar Power



Live a greener, more eco-friendly life!

Gone are the days when becoming carbon-neutral meant making sacrifices and facing inconveniences. With solar power, being green is now just another benefit that comes with switching to a renewable energy source.



Gain energy independence, protect yourself from rate spikes.

Switching to solar power reduces carbon footprint and protects from rising state-regulated electricity costs. It’s a smart and cost-effective investment that safeguards your budget and prevents rate spikes.



Save money on your monthly energy costs (lower your price per kWh).

Solar panels can lower your kWh price by generating electricity from sunlight, reducing reliance on utility companies, and potentially lowering overall energy costs. Once your system is paid off, you generate free electricity!



Increase the value of your property.

Solar panels can increase the value of your property. Studies have shown that homes with solar power systems tend to sell for more than homes without them. This is because solar panels can provide a number of benefits to homeowners, including lower energy bills, reduced carbon footprint, and increased energy independence.

Is Solar Right for Your Home?

Environmental Benefits

Today, nearly 75% of electricity is produced unsustainably from fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas. A solar system on your roof will greatly reduce the amount of pollution caused by people’s everyday activities.

In terms of offsetting your carbon footprint: An average 10kw solar system is equal to planting 6,000 trees, taking 50 cars off the road for a year, and recycling over 80 tons of waste. One of the best things about solar energy is that it produces almost no carbon emissions. This helps to rank it among the cleanest forms of energy on earth.

How much can you save with solar?

However, on average, homeowners can save up to 30-50% on their electricity bills with a residential solar system. The exact amount of savings will vary depending on the above factors, as well as the cost of the solar system and any incentives or tax credits available to homeowners. Overall, the savings potential of residential solar power makes it a smart investment for homeowners looking to reduce their energy costs and increase their energy independence.
