Whether going solar is worth it depends on a variety of factors, including your specific circumstances, location, and objectives. Here are some considerations to help you determine if going solar is worth it for you:

– Location
– Energy Consumption
– Cost of Energy
– Future Cost of Energy
– Incentives
– Financial Options
– Home Value
– Energy Grid Independence
– Backup Power
– Environmental Factors

Ultimately, whether going solar is worth it is a personal and financial decision. It’s advisable to conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis with the help of a solar energy professional, to determine if the financial and environmental benefits of going solar align with your goals and financial situation. Homeowners typically save tens of thousands of dollars after paying for their systems.

Savings from solar can vary widely, but many homeowners and businesses have experienced substantial long-term savings on their electricity bills, often recouping their initial investment and continuing to save money throughout the lifespan of their solar panels.

This also does not account for the property value increase they see from adding a solar energy system to their home or business.

The best advice we can give you at this time is to call us for an expert evaluation of your energy scenario. Our professionals will sit down with you and work through the numbers to determine what your cost savings will be and cover other benefits of going solar.

We want our customers to love their new systems and for their new system to do what it should. We will not advise you to go solar if it isn’t the right decision for you.

“Installing solar panels helps homeowners reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs. Those long-term savings translate into added value for your home. According to the Appraisal Journal, your home value increases $20 for every $1 reduction in your yearly energy bills. This means that if your solar system helps you save $400 in a year, your home value increases by $8,000.

According to Zillow, this will result in a higher asking price when you sell your home. In the 2021 Zillow Group Consumer Housing Trends Report, 67% of potential home buyers ranked energy efficiency as a “very to extremely important” feature for a home.

These buyers were willing to pay an average of 4.1% — or $9,274 — more for homes with solar panels than for comparable homes. Averages were higher in some markets, such as New York, where solar-powered homes sold for 5.4% more, adding an extra $23,989 to the sale price. In the largest solar home study to date, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) found that buyers were willing to pay $15,000 or more for solar-powered homes.”

We fully understand this. We work with customers to ensure they have the best available sunlight during the day to power their system.

Most customers are fine with the panels on the roof, however, for those who do not like it, we offer solar panel arrays that are free-standing structures that can be placed in a backyard.

We can also build walkways and pergolas where panels are placed on the roofs of these structures away from ground level eyes.

Many customers also choose to install the panels despite their reservations once they see the long-term savings of having a solar system installed. Some homeowners we have worked with will save $50,000-$90,0000 dollars over a 20 year period of owning their system!

We understand if you don’t like the look, so feel free to give us a call so a professional can work with you to discuss all options available.

We can find the right solution that will work for you in most cases.
