We often wonder whether going solar is a worthy investment. Well let’s find out.

Economical

Over the past few years, there has been a steady rise in the cost of electricity. Going Solar may just relief you of such problems as it is almost always free, save for the installation fees and other miscellaneous costs (depending on which country you stay in) . Once any solar system is in place, you will not require significant maintenance costs too because a normal PV solar has a lifespan of up to 25 years or more. At this rate, you can be certain that the system will pay for its value and installation. The push for Solar power is definitely for real and has proven very cost effective indeed, especially in private home. You will now no longer have to grapple with monthly power bills anymore ! Check out your savings from the table above.

Pays for its cost

At times, your solar panel might harness more energy than you can use. Other people can use the extra power when fed into the national grid. Subsequently, the government will pay you for the additional units fed into the grid. Depending on the conversion efficiency of the solar panel, you can get back the price of the solar panel over a reasonable period of time. Through the government’s feed-in tariff, you will be paid for generating your own electricity within the home.

Eco-Friendly

Solar energy is clean and does not come with impurities, just take a look at the information above to be thoroughly convinced. It has no complexities associated with other forms of energy or pollutants. Use of solar energy significantly reduces the carbon fingerprint within anybody’s home.   As with natural gas, use of solar energy does not emit greenhouse gases or carbon impurities. This energy saving solution is not only friendly to the environment but also healthy to the users.

Homes with solar panels installed fetch higher prices

Yes, its true. This is a real trend and many people are looking for homes with solar panels already installed. Take a look at the table below:

The Ultimate Consideration

Undoubtedly, the solar panel system has immense benefits to the user. However, you might need to consider other factors before jumping into investing in solar energy.

For one, the mounting process might be quite a hassle. Where you mount, the solar panel will largely influence the benefits you reap from it.

You might also want to check out with area specialists if your roof is engineer certified for such mounting.

Most importantly, you will need to consider the type of solar panel you invest in because not all of them will guarantee the expected results.

All in all, the benefits definitely out-weigh its disadvantages, so be prepared to install your own solar panels today.
