Solar Panels for Homes
Solar energy is now more affordable than ever, making renewable energy sources a viable alternative to more traditional, less environmentally friendly methods of powering your home. In addition to various financing options and government incentives that can reduce the cost of converting to solar, investing in solar energy can save you tens of thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your system. Like a finished basement or renovated kitchen, solar panels are considered upgrades. Depending on market factors, studies have shown solar systems can, on average, increase the value of your home by $15,000.

Solar Energy and Social Responsibility
The benefits of renewable energy sources like solar power don’t stop at a monetary value. Solar is environmentally sustainable, as well as a socially responsible way to offset your carbon footprint. Solar energy substantially reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The average two-person household can annually reduce their carbon pollution by up to four tons when they convert to solar power.Â
Clean energy can not only power your home, but it can also power the way we all think about the future. Take a step towards socially responsible energy today.
