BENEFITS OF SOLAR

The market for solar energy in the U.S. is growing more robust and getting stronger each year. Solar power has never been so readily available to American households and businesses. There are many benefits to an investment in solar power that will become more prevalent in the future.

THE TOP 10 BENEFITS OF SOLAR POWER

• According to Berkeley Lab News Centre, adding solar panels to a home can bring in monthly savings of well above $100 in many states. Extended over two decades (less than the length of a typical solar panel warranty), this translates to a possibility of over $30,000 in savings! Are you curious about how much you can save by going solar? Contact us for a consultation.
• As soon as our Star Solar Specialists team installs your new, shiny solar panel system, the Federal government will give you back 30% of the overall cost of the system (including any strengthening required for your roof). Wow! Nearly a third of the cost comes back in tax credits – that has to make you feel good! You haven’t even started to save on electricity costs yet!
• The payback period is in many cases less than ten years. If you decide to move, Star Solar Specialists can take the system down and install it on your new house.
• Solar panels will increase a home’s attractiveness on the market, similar to homes with low property taxes, homes in good school districts and homes with good Home Energy Ratings (a measurement of energy efficiency). Guess what? The value added to your property by the solar panels will not increase your property taxes! In Indiana, the value added by installing solar is exempt from property tax and in Kentucky the increase only applies when you sell the home.
• As we have said, you will get 30% of the total system costs back (equipment and installation). Combine this with any state and local rebates where available, Solar Renewable Energy Credits & SREC’s and total costs can be cut in half. To find out what state and local incentives could apply to you, sign-up for a free consultation with Star Solar Specialists.
• Utility companies are notorious for fluctuating and unreliable electricity prices. We think you will agree that the trend is upwards. With solar panels and simple math, we can calculate how much electricity will be generated from your system, and most importantly, at what price, for at least the next 20 years (fixed energy costs).
• The solar panel products that we purchase and install for our clients include a 25-year warranty. Industry standards guarantee 80% performance after 25 years. The actual lifespan of solar panels is expected to be much longer, likely to still generate a good amount of electricity 30-40 years after purchasing.
• We know that the majority of homeowners choose to go solar because it makes good sense from a financial point of view. With that being said, the environmental benefits are also worth mentioning. The U.S. places second in the world in annual carbon dioxide emissions at 17.9%, right behind China. You can go a long way in lowering your carbon footprint by replacing utility power with clean electricity from solar panels.
• The U.S. relies on net imports for about 40% of the petroleum (crude oil and petroleum products) that we consume. You can help to reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign energy by switching to a solar energy source.
• Shopping for solar used to be a long and complicated process, but not anymore. If you are interested, Star Solar Specialists can remotely survey your property and provide an initial assessment via email. It will include information on what we can install, an estimate of the install cost, and how much you could potentially save. If you decide it is a good investment for you, we can schedule an appointment to come to meet at your property and carry out a full survey before proceeding.
