Every day more homeowners and business owners alike are factoring in energy costs and being good stewards of the environment into their daily lives.

 

A key reason people are making the switch to install solar panels to power their homes and businesses is to save money. There are three major ways you can save money by installing solar panels. 

 

Saving money — or even eliminating — electric costs is the first major way you can save money through solar panels. Electricity costs, like all traditional energy sources, are volatile to changes in the market and also fluctuate seasonally. By installing solar panels, you can greatly reduce, if not eliminate, your monthly electric bill. Some estimates indicate a savings of $18,000 over the 25-year lifespan of solar panels!

 

Another way you can save money is through tax credits for solar or other rebate programs. These programs and credits vary state to state, but the federal government also has certain incentives for solar. Sunrise Solar can help you navigate this process when you decide to invest in solar, as this is another service we provide to help you.

 

And lastly, solar panels can actually help increase the value of your home. Several studies, including one from the United States Department of Energy noted that homes with solar panels already installed generated approximately $15,000 more in value, as future buyers could expect to see lower utility costs, plus any credits or rebates.

 

It’s clear from these reasons that helping to create a more sustainable society through solar power definitely pays!

In today's world, where sustainability and energy efficiency are paramount, solar technology stands as a spotlight on innovation. However, the complex technical jargon can often be overwhelming, making it difficult for many to grasp the full potential of solar energy. This guide from Sunrise Solar aims to simplify solar industry terminology, enabling you to better understand how embracing solar technology can significantly reduce energy costs and contribute to the sustainability of our planet. Photovoltaic (PV) Systems At the heart of solar technology lies the Photovoltaic (PV) system. Simply put, PV systems convert sunlight into electricity. They comprise solar panels, which are collections of solar cells made from materials that exhibit the "photovoltaic effect" – generating electrical power when exposed to sunlight. Understanding this term is your first step towards appreciating the simplicity and efficiency of solar power. Solar Panels vs. Solar Cells A common point of confusion is the difference between solar panels and solar cells. A solar cell is a single unit that converts light into electricity, while a solar panel is a group of solar cells assembled together to increase power output. When we talk about installing solar technology at homes, farms, or businesses, we refer to solar panels. Net Metering Net metering is a crucial concept for anyone considering solar installation. It refers to the system that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. For example, if your solar panels produce more electricity than you use, that excess power is sent back to the grid, and you receive credit against your electricity consumption, reducing your energy bills significantly. Sunrise Solar assists owners in establishing net metering. Grid-Tied vs. Off-Grid Systems Understanding the distinction between grid-tied and off-grid systems is essential. Grid-tied systems are connected to the public electricity grid and can draw power from the grid when needed. In contrast, off-grid systems operate independently of the grid, often requiring battery storage to supply power when solar energy is not available. Deciphering the terminology of solar technology is the first step towards recognizing its potential to transform our energy consumption and reduce our carbon footprint. By understanding these key terms, you can make informed decisions about adopting solar energy, contributing to both your financial savings and the planet's sustainability. As the solar industry continues to evolve, Sunrise Solar enables you to be informed and helps you navigate the future of energy with confidence and ease. Would you like to learn more?
