It Is Time to Go Solar
By going solar, you'll be saving time, saving money, and most importantly - saving our planet.
Why Go Solar?
Better for the Environment
Solar panels harness the energy from sunlight, which is an abundant and renewable resource. Unlike fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, sunlight is not depleted when used for energy generation. By relying on solar energy, we reduce our dependence on finite fossil fuel reserves and contribute to a more sustainable energy future
Cost Cutting
Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, which means you can generate your own power instead of relying solely on the grid. By producing your own electricity, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate your monthly electricity bills. The amount of savings will depend on the size of your solar system, your energy consumption, and local regulations regarding net metering or feed-in tariffs.
Solar panels have a lifespan of 25-30 years or more, and the cost of installing solar has decreased over the years. Once the initial investment is recouped, the electricity generated by solar panels becomes essentially free, resulting in long-term energy savings. Over the lifespan of the system, this can amount to significant cost reductions compared to relying solely on grid electricity, especially as electricity prices continue to rise.
Increased Home Value
Solar panels help homeowners save on electricity bills by generating their own clean energy. Potential homebuyers recognize the long-term financial benefits of reduced energy costs, making a property with solar panels more attractive. The prospect of lower utility bills can be a significant selling point and may justify a higher selling price. Installing solar panels is considered an investment that offers returns over time. Homeowners can recoup the initial installation costs through energy savings over the lifespan of the system. When selling the property, the remaining years of the solar panel warranty and the potential for ongoing energy savings can be perceived as added value by prospective buyers.
How Solar Works?
Solar panels are installed on the roof or in the ground to harness the energy from the sun. These panels contain photovoltaic cells that convert the sunlight into direct current (DC) electric power. The DC power from the solar panels needs to be converted into alternating current (AC) power as this is what our mains power supply uses. An inverter is installed in the home that converts DC power to AC power, ensuring that the electricity generated by the solar panels is utilized efficiently. The electricity generated can either be used immediately or stored in a battery storage system for future use.
​
The amount of electricity generated by solar panels is dependent on several factors, such as the size and type of solar panels, location, weather conditions, and time of day. During the daytime where there is an adequate amount of sunlight, excess energy generated can be sold to the grid. This means you can reduce your energy bills or even make a profit by using the electricity generated by the solar panels and selling the excess to the grid.
​
Solar energy is entirely reliable, and you won't need to worry about power cuts or electricity shortages. The fact that solar panels work in the daytime means that you can provide your home with electricity without relying on electricity from other sources. The electricity generated can power all the electrical appliances in your home, such as lighting, refrigeration, indoor heating and cooling systems, washing machines, and dishwashers. You can have access to free electricity for many years, which results in immediate and long-term savings.
​
Another significant advantage of installing solar panels on your home is that solar power is a renewable energy source that does not emit greenhouse gases. By using solar energy, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint, contributing to a cleaner environment. You will not only reduce your carbon emissions, but you will also lower your dependence on non-renewable energy sources. You can do your part in protecting the planet by using sustainable energy resources.
