Benefits of Solar Energy

Solar energy has many benefits for your Carillon Lakes home. These benefits are what attract most homeowners to install solar panels.

1. Solar panels can save you hundreds of dollars in your energy bills.

Using solar energy reduces your home’s dependency on the power grid for household use. Although the actual solar panel and its installation may be a bit pricey, you get value for your money because the power it produces is free.

2. Since people with installed solar panels are not dependent on the power grid, they are not affected by power failures and brownouts.

Solar panels are great to have especially during emergencies like hurricanes, typhoons, or floods when there is usually power failure in some areas.

3. If you have solar panels, the value of your Carillon Lakes home will increase by a minimum of 20%.

This is a great return on investment once you sell your home.

4. You save nature’s non-renewable resources.

Solar energy comes from the sun which is a renewable energy source. When you use solar energy, it does not come at the cost of burning fossil fuels, which are non-renewable resources.

5. Reduces your carbon footprint.

Greenhouse gas is a major contributor to global warming. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the production of electricity is one of the largest sources of greenhouse emissions. In 2011, the use of electricity contributed almost 33% of the total greenhouse emissions.

When solar panels produce solar energy, it does not emit any greenhouse gases, reducing the users carbon footprint.

It further reduces the emission of greenhouse gases by eliminating the need for trucks to deliver oil, gasoline, or coal.

If you wish to harness the power of solar energy in your Carillon Lakes home to get these amazing benefits, make sure that the installation of your solar panels is done properly by professionals who are certified and trained to install solar panels.

Some homeowners prefer to do it themselves to save on the cost of installation and you may also do this with available DIY solar panel installation kits, but make sure it is done correctly. Take note though that installing solar panels by yourself may affect warranties offered by the manufacturer.

DIY installation may also disqualify the homeowner from receiving benefits like tax credits in states that offer this incentive, since the state requires that the installation be done by an authorized contractor or professional installer for the homeowner to be qualified for a tax credit.

If you want to get all the benefits of solar energy, hiring a professional installation contractor is still the safest option if you wish to install solar panels in your Carillon Lakes home.
