Along with drastically cutting energy costs, you'll start seeing instant benefits right away. The moment your system's switch is flipped on, you will start saving money. You will notice a reduced electric bill cost during the first month, and savings will only increase from that point on.

What most people are surprised to learn is that installing a solar energy system can increase a home's value. Anyone moving into your home in the future will benefit from reduced energy expenses, which adds to your home's appeal. Studies show that homes with solar electric systems sell more quickly and for a price of 17% more than homes without solar.

Lastly, solar energy systems protect against rising electric bills. The rate of solar energy is guaranteed over a 25-year period, which means you'll be able to predict how much money, if any, you'll pay for electricity. In contrast, the price of standard electricity typically fluctuates. Consequently, it's hard to predict. Locked rates are especially important for businesses, as knowing energy prices helps control finances and expenses.
