Solar panels have recently experienced a major spike in popularity, and with the numerous benefits they provide, it’s no wonder why. Lowering your energy consumption, slashing your energy bills, and reducing your environmental footprint are just a few things you can look forward to.
Interested in installing solar panels on your Modesto, CA home? Take a look at these top four benefits.
1. Lower (or Eliminate) Energy Bills
Harvesting your own energy directly from the sun means you won’t need to buy as much from the electrical grid, so your monthly bills will naturally be lower. Not only that but if you end up producing more energy than you consume, you can actually sell it back the grid for a profit.
2. Sustainable Energy Source
Solar energy is one of the most sustainable forms of energy because it’s 100 percent renewable. Unlike oil or natural gas, which is only available in limited quantities within the earth, sunlight will never run out. If you’re interested in minimizing your carbon footprint, solar is an excellent option.
3. Improved Home Value
Remember those energy perks we discussed in the first point? The promise of a lifetime of lower or non-existent monthly energy bills makes homes outfitted with solar panels highly desirable on the used housing market. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, solar panels increase a home’s sale price by an average of $17,000.
4. Low Maintenance Costs
Solar energy systems are relatively maintenance-free since they don’t have any moving parts that could break down. Instead of serious maintenance, all you need to do is keep the panels clean so that they have consistent, unobstructed access to sunlight.
