Gives you control over your electricity
Home solar panels and a home battery can offer freedom from the utility companies with predictable electric bills. This helps you avoid peak electricity rates and provides reliable back-up power when the grid goes down. Electricity costs across the country have risen by 15% over the past ten years, and this is a trend that’s likely to continue.1 Solar service agreements can offer low and predictable rates that are typically less expensive than your electric company’s rates, so you can expect, on average, to pay less for power when you go solar.
Provides clean, renewable energy
Home solar is a clean, emissions-free, and renewable energy source. Unlike fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, home solar doesn’t release harmful pollutants or greenhouse gas emissions—like carbon dioxide—into the air and water supply.2 By decreasing air pollution, solar can prevent $167 billion in health and environmental damages and save more than 25,000 livesHome solar’s potential is immense. If we could capture all the solar energy on the planet for just one hour, we could power the whole world for an entire year.
Solar panels have low maintenance costs
Solar panels are easy to maintain, as they have no moving parts that wear out over time. Just keep them clean and in good physical condition to keep them working properly. Between their low maintenance costs and average lifespan of 25 years, it can be easy to get your money’s worth when investing in solar panels.
