The benefits of solar energy are undeniable…for both your wallet and the planet.
Depending on the size of the solar system you choose to install, you can save a minimum of 20% on your electric bill. The average American household uses 920 kWh of electricity per month. And solar systems can last for more than 30 years, there are even some solar panels in the field that have been generating energy for more than 40 years.
Solar reduces your carbon footprint as well. The average American household generates 7.4 tons of carbon dioxide per year through electrical use. Carbon dioxide has been proven to cause global warming, which is wreaking havoc on our Earth—causing glaciers to melt, shorelines to erode and animals to be endangered.
Most people aren’t aware that solar can even save water. It’s true: Solar on your home can help conserve more than 16,000 gallons of water per year, and reduce reliance on foreign and nonrenewable energy sources.
