What are the advantages of a solar roof for your home?

Solar power isn’t just saving homeowners dollars and cents, but the environment and community we live in.

Benefits for your budget

Lowers (or eliminates) your monthly electric bills

Solar energy can help you dramatically lower your monthly electricity bill, and some who generate significant energy amounts may even be able to eliminate their monthly costs.

Improves cash flow with fixed payments

Not only does it cost less over time than traditional electricity sources, but solar power also helps you save with fixed payments from day one. So when utility company electric costs rise and spike, you can keep payments low and streamlined with reliable, renewable solar energy that you produce onsite!

Increases home value with a long-term investment

Investing in energy efficiency is a top way to increase home value. So just as a kitchen remodel or landscape installation can enhance your home’s worth, solar panel installations significantly promote long-term savings by improving resale value. Also, did you know that solar panels don’t increase your property taxes like most other home improvement installations?

Works in any weather (helps during outages)

No matter the season - and even in cloudy weather, the sun’s rays can still reach the solar panels on your roof to effectively produce electricity to power your home and electronics for years to come! Additionally, you can choose to purchase an upgrade with backup batteries that allow you to store energy onsite so you can generate power during outages and blackouts.

Benefits for the environment

Doesn’t produce air pollution

Processing fossil fuels to create traditional electric energy generates harmful carbon dioxide and methane gases, which negatively impact our air quality and speed up climate change. Luckily, these toxic gases that enhance the greenhouse effect and warm up the Earth faster are not emitted during solar energy production.

Lessens dependence on natural resources

While traditional energy production relies heavily on limited, costly, and natural resources like coals, oil, and water, while also harming the air quality, solar energy is limitless, available, clean, and free! There is no limit to the amount of power we can harness from the sun, which we store, save, and use to power everything without taking from the environment.

Reduces carbon footprint around the globe

Investing in a renewable energy source sustainably reduces your household’s carbon footprint because solar power doesn’t use natural resources like water or coal, so production doesn’t hurt the environment. When you create your own clean energy for your family, you reduce additional carbon dioxide emitting energy production on your behalf.

Lessens water usage & pollution

Clean water is a precious natural resource that continues to decrease on Earth, one of the driest planets in the solar system. Traditional electricity production costs thousands of liters of water yearly, which is polluted during the fuel refinement process. Luckily, solar production uses little to no water and relies solely upon the sun to power panels to produce clean energy - saving tons of water yearly.
