Adding solar panels to your home can increase your property. Homes with solar installations are becoming increasingly attractive to appraisers because buying clean energy homes is more efficient. Investors find homes much more interesting when they come with their own energy. This trend will only continue upwards meaning that in the coming years a solar panel system could make all the difference between a home that sells and a home that doesn’t.
With electric bills increasing around you, you can save money now by switching to solar energy.
Going solar can reduce or even eliminate your increasing electric bills. With a solar panel system you can make your own electricity and stop renting from utility companies. Making your own solar energy can take away from the worry of the power going out when you need it the most.
Saving on your energy bill isn’t the only way going solar pays for itself. Installing a solar power system can get you a 26% tax break for 2022. If your solar project consists of just the solar equipment, you’ll get 26% of the cost back on your federal income tax. If your project also includes back up batteries, generators, new roof, tree trimming, or carport, then the tax credit will apply to those services as well.
Thanks to significant electricity bill savings, solar panel installation is one of the best ways to invest your money, offering returns similar to those of more traditional investments. Typically, average American homeowners pay off their solar power system in seven years and see a return on investment of 20% or greater.
