    3 Reasons Solar Panels Will Slash Your Energy Bill



    A few years ago you might have seen some houses in your neighborhood with some funny looking blue panels on their roofs and thought, “What are those?” Now, solar panels are old news. We are all familiar with them and what they do. But, are we really taking advantage of them?  This is true for many solar companies. Medford, Oregon, for example, has a number of service providers. The same could be said for Los Angeles, California and Tampa, Florida and Phoenix, Arizona. You see so many companies and wonder, “Is it really worth it?” The answer is “YES!” Here are a few reasons why solar energy might be right for you and how it can save your wallet.


     


    Maintenance? No need for that


    Despite what you may think, solar panels are actually incredibly durable and require little to no maintenance during their long lifespan. It is very rare for solar panels to require any fixes in the 25 to 30 years that they will last for. If you have experienced problems with your energy that have required a good deal of upkeep, then perhaps you are eager to slash those prices. Cutting out expenses associated with maintenance is quick proof that solar panels might be the right choice for you.


     


    Rising Electricity Costs? No, I’ll pass


    Many homeowners notice that the cost of their energy bill increases year after year. That is because electricity prices are rising, year after year. Here is a secret: the cost of solar energy is going down. It is hard to tell what will come next for the field of energy, but solar panels will be a big piece of the future for this sector.


     


    Increased Property Value? Yes, please


    There is a good deal of evidence that owning and installing solar panels increases the value of your home. It is important to note that to see an ROI in your property value, you must own the solar panels, not rent or lease them. One study showed that the installation of solar panels increased the value of California homes by 3-4%. While the percentage may look small, when applied to the value of a home this clear becomes evidence that solar panels pay great dividends. For some quick math, solar panels could increase the value of a $300,000 home by $12,000.


     


    These are just a couple of the reasons why solar panels can help you save some money. There are other reasons that solar panels might be right for you, including the potential for tax credits. If you are considering installing panels in your home, there are a number of resources that can help you in your research process.
