Why Solar Panels are Worth The Investment
Save On Energy Costs
With solar panels on your home or business, you will save on your energy costs. This is one of the major incentives for getting solar panels, and it’s a big part of what makes solar panels worth the investment! The exact savings you’ll receive with solar depend on various factors, including the size of your solar system, your electricity consumption, direct hours of sunlight, and the size/angle of your roof.
Reduce Grid Dependence
When you choose solar energy, you reduce your dependence on the energy grid. This means you are free of fluctuations in energy prices. For example, when fossil fuels, like natural gas, are more expensive, your energy costs will rise, even if you’re using the same amount of energy that you always have.
Help Fight Climate Change
Solar panels capture clean, renewable energy from the sun and help to combat greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional electricity is sourced primarily from fossil fuels, which are a finite resource. Fossil fuel production also requires significant water resources and creates water pollution, and choosing solar also reduces the strain on the water supply — something that’s especially important here in CO and WY where water can be scarce!
