What is your monthly electric bill? What if you can have free solar power instead? Well, you can, and there’s no time like the present to look into photovoltaic solar panels to harness the abundant energy from the sun to power your life.
Free solar power comes in many shapes and sizes
Why solar, and why now? For starters, the price of solar panels have dropped in recent years at the same time that their efficiency has increased. A decade ago, you might rarely see a solar array. These days, panels are powering traffic signals, street lights, school cafeterias and more.
Perhaps more importantly, however, the government REALLY wants you to go solar. They offer tax incentives, rebates, solar loan programs and are even considering a new mortgage program to help you afford renewable energy installations. Here in Oregon, for example, the state passed a “no money down” program to allow homeowners and businesses to finance their solar panels through monthly utility bills. Both the federal government and individual states offer various programs; together you can save up to 80% of the cost of solar panels.
Free solar power is right on top of your roof!
When you install solar panels, you are not just saving on your monthly electricity bill and helping the environment, you are also adding security, increasing your home’s value, and guarding against future rate hikes by your utility. Think $2000-$3000 sounds like a big investment? How much is it worth to you to maintain power when the grid goes down during inclement weather or an emergency situation?
The money you pay today is not only recouped through massive savings on your utility bill (yep, you’ll be drawing free solar power), but also through an increase in $20 in property value for every $1 you save annually in electricity costs.
If you are a handy person, you could even build DIY solar, with solar panel kits. There are many helpful videos that will take you through the process, step, by step:
Save even more by combining with other people in your neighborhood or region by negotiating a group discount on solar panels through sites like One Block Off the Grid.
Isn’t it time for free solar power at your home? What’s holding you back?
