INVEST IN YOUR OWN ENERGY
Benefits of Solar Energy
These days, many people are concerned about what fossil fuels are doing to our planet, and some are also concerned about their rising energy costs. Although some home and business owners are still on the fence regarding switching their energy source, there are many benefits to using more sustainable energy, such as solar, that you may not have heard about; here are a few.
Help the Environment
One benefit of solar energy is that you are reducing your carbon footprint. When using non-renewable fuels, such as oil or coal, harmful gasses are released into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gasses can cause climate change and global warming, impacting our entire ecosystem.
Although there is no way to stop this from happening altogether, you can reduce your contribution by using solar energy instead. Mr. Naranjo believes that this is one of the top benefits of switching to solar power, and many of his customers would agree as well.
INVEST IN YOUR OWN ENERGY
Reduce Energy Costs
Another benefit of solar energy is that you will be reducing your energy costs simultaneously. Although getting started may require some initial investment, you will begin to see a return on your investment in no time, especially living in the sunshine state where sunlight is abundant for most of the year. “Once your system is turned on, you begin to accumulate credits, and your power bill gets lower and lower, saving you money,” explains Mr. Naranjo.
Tax Incentives
There are several positive benefits when you switch to solar energy, such as tax credits and incentives. Depending on the state you live in, several solar tax incentives and credits are available to your family when you switch to solar power. Solar tax credits or incentives can vary significantly from state to state, so it’s important to know what they are before you make the switch.
The professionals at Circuit Electric Solar believe in educating all customers about information regarding financing options, tax incentives, and much more to give you the power to make an informed decision.
Electricity Ownership
When you pay your electric bill, you buy electricity from the power company. The money you pay is used to pay for the energy you use plus a profit for the utility company.
Imagine what it would be like to not have to worry about paying a high power bill each month?
This can soon be your reality when you install solar panels on your home or business. When you own your power, you lock in your rates and protect yourself from rising inflation costs of energy from the utility companies, saving you money and lowering your monthly power bill.
Off Grid Solar Batteries
Did you know that you could store excess energy created by your solar panels? With a simple addition of a solar battery, all of your extra energy can be saved and used for future situations. For example, power outages, a rainy day, or being able to take full advantage of your best investment yet.
Solar batteries work in conjunction with your solar panels and inverter. When the sun is out, and your solar panels are generating electricity, that power either goes directly to power your appliances or is sent to the battery to be stored. And when there isn’t enough electricity coming in from the sun, the stored energy from a solar battery is used to provide electricity to your home.
For homes on the grid, solar batteries help store excess energy generated by your panels during the day to use at night instead of drawing power from the utility grid. If you live in an area with time-of-use (TOU) rates, a solar battery can help you save even more money by charging when rates are low and discharging when rates are high.
How Does Solar Energy Work?
Solar energy is a lot simpler than you may think. Here is a quick breakdown, solar panels are made up of many solar cells. Direct current (DC) electricity is produced when sunlight hits the panels, and this DC power is then converted to usable alternating current (AC) electricity. You can now use this electrical power in your home or business, and any excess energy will be sent back to the grid.
Switch to Solar Energy with Circuit Electric Solar
As solar technology continues to improve and expand, home and business owners across the state may find that going solar is a viable option for a more sustainable energy source. By working with an experienced, reliable, and trustworthy company like Circuit Electric Solar, you will never be left in the dark regarding the education and benefits behind switching to solar energy.
