2016 is poised to be the best year yet for solar. At some time during the next few months, the U.S. will reach a milestone of one million solar homes!

Do you want to cut your monthly electricity bill and save hundreds of dollars? You can when you install PV panels on your home! A lot of homeowners are interested in making the switch to solar energy, but believe they should wait for the cost to continue to fall and solar technologies to become more refined. However, there a few important reasons why you should not wait to make the switch to solar power..

The number one reason people decide to go solar is pretty simple: It Makes Financial Sense!

Solar offers numerous tax incentives. Many U.S. homeowners who invest in solar energy are doing so with the help of the numerous tax incentives for such projects. Typically, U.S. homeowners will recoup their investment with energy savings within 5 10 years.

Solar energy fetches you a much higher asking price when it comes time to sell your home. An average sized installation on a $500,000 property can add $20,000 or more to the retail value of your home an amount that exceeds the average cost of most residential solar installations, meaning you could not only be reducing or eliminating your electricity bill but also getting 100% of your money back when and if you sell the home. By contrast, most kitchen remodeling projects only deliver returns of 60%.

Solar is a good investment now, beating the S&P 500 in most of the United States. By installing solar now, you’ll avoid paying electric bills that much sooner, which goes a long way. Moreover, you’ll take advantage of market conditions as they exist. Predicting the future is hard, so if you know something is a solid investment now, take it.

Solar panels don't just benefit the environment. They may also have long-term financial effects when they are installed properly, both for individuals and for the economy at large.

Who wouldn't want to cut energy bills by 80% or more while effectively eliminating one's negative energy impacts on air, water and finite natural resources?

As prices for traditional power like coal and fossil fuels continue to rise, people will continue to develop alternative energy sources. Solar energy is the most abundant resource that should be tapped, and increased cost will lead to more research and development.

The sun rises in the morning and sets at night with absolute reliability. Your system stores that reliable sunlight for future use, so even at night or on cloudy days you don’t have to worry about your food going bad or not being able to run your hair dryer. Power outages are also less of a threat to the solar power user.

Take a look at this article that shows you how exactly Solar Energy saves you money!

In 2014, California got about 2.4 percent of its electricity from rooftop solar, according to calculations by the California Solar Energy Industries Association.

You need water to make power. Using solar won’t just save you $84 per month (on average). It will also help all of us conserve precious fresh water and switch over to less wasteful and less dangerous energy from renewables.
