4 Compelling Reasons Why You Should Make the Switch to Solar

With world-wide global warming issues getting too serious to doubt anymore researchers and climate change specialist are looking at solar power as one of the most viable solutions to our problem. Harnessing solar energy and converting it to electricity produces no carbon emissions or pollution and will allow our planet to regenerate.

Here are some important reasons why you should make the switch to solar;

Will save you money

Solar panels produce electricity throughout daylight hours, even when it’s cloudy. A small home system is expected to cut your electricity bills into half and a bigger system is able to eliminate the energy bill of an average household entirely.

Is a wise investment

Solar PV systems are now considered to be one of the best long term home or business investments as they are proving to provide a significant return on investment in the long term. A system is expected to last 20 years at the least and will pay for itself in 5-8 years’ time at current prices. So the rest of the 15 + years are all profit for you as there should be no ongoing maintenance costs.

Also if you live in a State in Australia where the premium feed in tariff schemes are still available then you can also generate a source of extra income by selling any excess electricity you produce back to the grid at a profit.

As an added bonus investing in solar increases your home’s resale value& desirability as well; after all what price would you put on buying a property where you never need to worry about paying for your electricity? So with cost of living a high concern amongst families, the more a home saves on electricity the higher its market value becomes.

The same applies in your commercial spaces, since electricity prices are shooting up uncontrollably business owners are looking for commercial spaces that will allow them maximise production while minimising their outgoing bills. This makes your solar panel topped building more in demand then another one down the road and you can charge more in rent to compensate.

Has minimal maintenance

Solar panel systems are designed to last for more than two decades and they generally require minimal maintenance depending on your location. Just a light cleaning every few months to remove dirt and dust buildup is sufficient to keep the panels running in perfect condition and producing the maximum amount of clean free energy from the sun for you every day.

As the systems are fully automated and is completely independent monitoring it is not strictly necessary, however if you wish to have it systems now are available with smart meters that compute and tabulates energy production continually, and some inverters come with LED displays to monitor the system’s efficiency.

Is very environmental friendly   

                                      

Solar power is clean and renewable and does not release harmful green house gases in the environment, unlike fossil fuels which emit enormous amounts of carbon and other gases like methane.It is these which are responsible for the global warming that is disrupting the natural climate patterns of our planet today.

Solar panels are considered to be the best option to solve the problem since they can be built to any scale large or small depending on the need, and it also does away with the very great expense of maintaining electricity grid networks which get passed onto consumers with their electricity bills. Also solar power is holistically green from its raw materials down to the production; the components of the system not only produce clean energy, but the materials themselves are not harmful to the environment.
