Are you considering embracing the power of solar panels? TENCO SOLAR is here to help, but we also want you to be fully confident that you’re making the right decision. There are many perks to going solar for both homeowners and business owners, and here are 10 of them that you should consider.

Benefits Of Solar For Homeowners

Homeowners can have several benefits when they go solar. Some of the benefits of residential solar panel systems include:

1. SAVE MONEY ON ELECTRIC COSTS

The primary reason many homeowners choose to go solar is to save money. When you tap the power of the sun to power your home’s electricity, you will have lower energy bills.

2. LESSEN THE EFFECT OF RISING ENERGY COSTS

Energy costs always have the risk of going up. You can lock in your electricity prices and protect against these rising costs when you have solar. Every time you use your solar system to power things inside your home, you do not have to pay the utility company.

3. INCREASE YOUR PROPERTY VALUE

More and more home buyers are realizing the value of solar, but solar is an investment. Thus, when you choose to invest in your home and add solar, you increase its potential value to buyers. This, in turn, can help you earn back some of your investment should you choose to sell your home in the future.

4. LOWER YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

When you add solar panels to your home, you have less impact on the environment. In other words, you are doing your part as a family to protect the environment for future generations.

5. ENJOY A HIGH RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Ultimately, adding solar will bring a high return on investment for your home. Most people see an ROI of about 20% when adding solar panel systems to their residential properties. The longer you reside in your home, the more you will benefit from that ROI.

Benefits Of Solar For Commercial Business Owners

Commercial property owners can also benefit from going solar. When you switch to solar, you will enjoy the following perks:

6. BRAND YOUR COMPANY AS ECO-FRIENDLY

Being eco-friendly is something people look for when choosing who they will do business with, and going solar can make you a bit more environmentally friendly.

7. PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

One solar panel system can eliminate 3 to 4 tons of carbon emissions yearly. That equals about 100 new trees planted each year. That’s something your company can stand behind.

8. IMPROVE YOUR BUDGET

Energy use is a major budget item for your company. When you add solar, you can lower those costs and maximize your budget.

9. BANK SOLAR ENERGY FOR FUTURE USE

Some systems allow you to bank some solar energy that you don’t need for future use. That reserved energy can help you prepare for future outages when you may not have access to electricity from your local provider.

10. BE ON THE CUTTING EDGE

Going solar is trendy, and companies that add solar are on the cutting edge of modern technology. Making the switch can improve your company’s branding efforts significantly.
