There are 4 main advantages of solar panels that immediately spring to mind. Solar power homes are springing up everywhere, taking advantage of the numerous rebates and incentives that are readily available.
Saves you money on your fuel bills - With the ever increasing cost of fossil fuels, solar panels will save you money in the long run. Of course you have the initial installation costs but after that, your costs are zero.
You can even install your own solar panels if you have a basic grasp of DIY. And with a solar power system, if you generate more electricity than you actually use, you can sell it back to your utility company for a profit.
If you have a solar hot water system then you will save even more money there as well. Just think of all that piping hot, free hot water all year round. Solar power homes are efficient homes.
Solar panels are great for the environment - Obviously this is one of the main advantages of solar panels as they don't add to global warming. Solar power is clean and renewable. And it does not add to the cost and problems of storing dangerous radioactive waste. Solar power homes are environmentally friendly homes.
Low to no maintenance - Solar panels operate silently with no moving parts. This makes them virtually maintenance free. Just install them and let them generate energy for you.
Independence from the utility companies - Solar power operates entirely independently of the power companies. You will never be held ransom to the rising costs of fossil fuels. And if you live in a remote area where electricity might not be so readily available, then solar panels can supply you with an endless source of energy. Solar power homes are free of the rising energy prices.
And it doesn't need to cost you a fortune to set-up the various installations. Shop around and haggle for a good price. Companies rates can vary wildly. Or just install your own if you have the knowledge.
