Top Reasons to go Solar

There are a number of reasons why people install solar, but the main one is to save money on their electricity bills. Here are the top reasons Eave hears that homeowners are putting solar panels on their homes:

To save money

The primary reason people install solar is to save money on their monthly utility bills. Solar is a great investment that either reduces or eliminates your electricity bill, with savings adding up fast over time. In fact, many people are able to save tens of thousands of dollars on utility costs by installing solar

To help the environment

Solar is an environmentally friendly way to produce electricity, and is one of the fastest ways to reduce your home’s carbon footprint. The environmental benefit of installing solar on your home is equivalent to planting dozens of trees per year for multiple decades. 

To be more independent

Utility rate increases are unpredictable. With that in mind, many people we talk to want to reduce their reliance on their utility in order to reduce their exposure to fluctuating (and skyrocketing) electricity costs. 

To be more resilient 

Especially when installed with a home battery, solar can make your home more resilient in the event of unexpected grid outages and blackouts. With solar and storage, you can keep your home running even when your neighbors’ homes don’t have power.

To add value to their home

Studies have shown that installing solar can increase the value of a home by 4%. Just another way that solar is a smart investment 

To future proof their home 

With more homes switching to heat pumps for heating and cooling, and with more electric vehicles on the road every year, many homeowners are thinking about solar as a way to future proof their homes
