Benefits of Residential Solar Energy
Solar Saves Money
With solar energy, homeowners can save enough to either offset most of an electrical bill or even eliminate it altogether, depending on the solar home system size. Each month, the average American household uses 920 kWh of energy.
Solar Panels Can Increase Property Value
Studies show adding a residential solar system increases a home’s resale price by $4.00 to $6.40 per watt, depending on your home’s location. In other words, a 4.2kW system can add $16,800 to your home’s value. Studies also show that homes with solar energy sell 15% faster than comparable homes without solar installations.
Types of Solar Installation
Grid Tie
- Power from the Power Utility on Cloudy Days
- Sell Excess Energy For Utility Bill CreditÂ
Owners of residential solar systems often utilize net metering with a grid tie system. With this system, homeowners earn credits for unused energy that’s generated from the solar panels and then tied back into the electrical grid. This most often occurs in America during summer, particularly in northern states, when there’s more sunlight available.
