WHY CHOOSE SOLAR ENERGY?
Solar energy helps reduce the impact you, your family, your home, your appliances and electronics have on the planet’s finite supply of resources. Clean energy generated by the sun reduces pollution and the effects of climate change. It also helps you reduce your energy bills, which only seem to increase over time.
On average, a solar system will reduce a household’s electric bill by 50 to 90 percent. * The amount of savings is determined by the size the of system — the larger the system, the more you will save.
WHAT ARE SOLAR BATTERIES?
While solar panels on a home’s roof capture clean solar energy, consider the benefits of adding a solar battery backup to help you control your energy usage. A solar battery is a device that stores the excess electricity that solar panels generate for use during times when power is not being generated. The excess energy stored in the battery is used to power your home at night, on cloudy days and during power outages — occasions during which the solar panels generate an insufficient amount of electricity.
The solar battery gives homeowners the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their home will not lose power completely, even in a power outage. A solar battery also provides the homeowner greater control over the system; you can even monitor the performance of your solar panels via an app on your computer or smartphone.
SOLAR BATTERY BENEFITS
- Storing excess energy produced during peak daylight hours can be used to power your home at night, on cloudy days and during outages.
- Solar energy storage allows you to draw electric power from your utility’s grid when it’s least expensive, i.e., during non-peak usage hours.
- Solar power is a great investment in your home’s value. Solar batteries are eligible for a 30% federal tax credit and local incentives in some areas.
