The experts at Namaste Solar share four compelling reasons why now is the perfect time to consider solar for your home.

Solar gives you control over your energy budget.

Energy prices are only going up, but you can secure lower energy rates for decades when you own your power production. Suppose you could lock in today’s gas prices for the next 25 years. You would, right? That’s what solar can do for your energy bill.

Over time, a home solar system pays for itself.

By lowering/eliminating electricity bills, solar panels can save you thousands of dollars over their lifetime – sometimes paying for themselves twice over! Simply put, solar is a smart investment with significant returns.

Solar increases the value of your home.

According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, every dollar that solar panels save you on your electric bill increases the value of your home by $20. This translates to higher home sale prices. In fact, Zillow reports homes with solar sell for 4.1% more on average than homes without.

Most importantly, solar is a proven pathway to a safer, cleaner planet.

Switching to clean solar power makes a positive impact not only for yourself and your pocketbook, but for your community as a whole. Best of all, powering your home with a renewable source of energy provides peace of mind that you’re helping leave our planet a better place for future generations.
