The Value & The Costs of
Whole House Solar Power (w/ Battery Backup)
The Value
When you equip your home with solar energy, you rely on panels to capture energy from the sun and convert it into electricity. Excess collected energy is generated and can be stored in a battery backup system, which can be tapped into during periods of low solar output or during power outages.
Opting for a fully-powered solar home is for anyone interested in reducing their impact on the environment. (which should be everyone!) These energy efficiencies also allow for major savings, and provide peace of mind with energy independence, especially for homes located in remote areas.
We will guide you through the process of understanding how much sunlight your property receives, and design a home that meets the requirements needed to fully power your home with renewable energy.
The Costs
There are two primary methods for solar power: purchasing or leasing. Purchasing solar panels for your home can initially require a sizable upfront investment. However, there are many financial benefits that will eventually offset the initial costs and should lead to substantial future savings.
Depending on your home location, you may also be eligible for federal tax credits or local state exemptions with your solar panel installation. Some utility companies may offer rebates to customers who install solar panels.
Lastly, in addition to energy bill savings, you may be able to benefit from net metering. Net metering allows homeowners to earn solar credits from excess electricity generated by solar panels, and offset electricity costs incurred from using the traditional grid during periods of low solar output.
