If you’re considering installing solar panels, that’s a good choice. Installing solar panels is one of the biggest ways individuals can contribute to the global push for sustainability. The fewer homes there are in the country that rely on fossil fuels, the better! However, you need to know a few things to consider when installing solar panels, so read on.
Energy Requirements
The only way to know what size solar panel system you need is to determine your home’s energy requirements. Every household has different needs, with different appliances and times of use. The best way to determine your needs is to refer to your electric bill statements from the past year.
It’s important to consider an entire year because your power needs fluctuate during exceptionally hot or cold months.
Time to Profitability
For most people, the biggest factor contributing to the decision to install solar panels is the potential for energy savings. While it’s rare to set up a solar panel system that perfectly meets your energy needs each month, you can expect a drastic reduction in electricity charges.
In most American households, families pay off their solar panels in savings within a decade of installation. The important thing to note here is that solar panels typically have warranties for 25 years or more, which leaves you with 15 years of profit after the first decade.
Your House’s Location
While most houses are good candidates for solar panels, a few factors could make yours better than the average. One factor to look out for is the number of obstructions around your house. If you have large trees that cover parts of the roof, fewer places to put effective solar panels exist. Additionally, if your roof faces south, your panels will produce slightly more energy than average.
Now that you know these things to consider when installing solar panels, contact your local solar installer to get a quote today! You won’t believe how fast things can get started. From there, you can begin saving money on electricity.
