Incorporating solar panels into your home electrical system could help reduce your monthly electric bills, while also saving energy and decreasing the overall load on the electric grid. In some cases, you may be able to profit from the amount of energy your home panels generate. Let’s take a look at some of the specific financial benefits of solar energy for homeowners.
Protection Against Rising Energy Costs
Over time, the cost of electricity can rise due to many factors. You can help protect yourself from some of the impacts of electricity costs with a home solar panel system. Typically, these systems will last for decades, too. In fact, GVEC Solar Services warranties each of our systems for 25 years on parts and 10 years on labor. Just because the warranty on our systems expires after two-and-a-half decades, though, doesn’t mean they’ll stop generating electricity at that point. So protection against rising electricity costs over the long haul is one of the many financial benefits of solar energy.
Credit for Excess Power and Home Battery Solutions
If you’re a GVEC member, and your home generates more power than needed, you have the option of selling any excess power back to the Cooperative and being paid in bill credits. For many solar panel owners, though, a better option could be to invest in a home battery storage solution like those offered through GVEC Solar Services. These home batteries store excess power generated by solar panels for use at night or during a power outage, potentially increasing the financial benefits of solar energy for homeowners. Be sure to ask us about our home battery solutions.
Tax Credits Reduce the Cost of a Solar System
State and federal tax credits may significantly reduce the amount that you’ll pay to buy and install a solar panel system on your home. The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows you to save up to 26% on installation costs. This tax credit can be taken all at once or spread out over the course of five years.
