How Much Can I Save By Using Solar Panels?

The answer to that question is a lot more complicated than it might first seem. Yes, you can recoup your investment and eventually get an ROI, but how soon you can receive these depends on a lot of factors, one of which is your location.

One thing’s for certain, however: power prices will continue to increase in the future. Installing a solar panel can mitigate the impact of this trend and give you some peace of mind about the projected increases.

Are There Any Other Benefits?

There are incentives to the installation of solar panels, but these tend to change every few months or so. If you install solar panels within this year, you can still qualify for a 30% federal tax credit. We suggest checking whether or not your state offers rebates and monitoring the incentives offered by the Federal Government.

How Long Do Solar Panels Last?

The lifespan of a product is a key factor in determining its ROI. Solar panels that are regularly maintained can easily last up to 35-40 years.

How Much Maintenance Do Solar Panels Need?

All the parts of your home need some maintenance work from time to time, although some require more than others. Luckily, solar panels need minimal upkeep. The rain usually washes away any dirt or grime that has built up, and if you’re having a particularly dry year, you can simply use a hose to give the solar panels a quick wash. It’d be more prudent, however, to consult a contractor specializing in solar installation services to ensure you’ll get the maximum ROI.
