why go solar?
1. Reduced electricity bill The primary reason that most homes and businesses convert to solar energy is to reduce their electrical bill by taking advantage of the free power generated from the sun. Solar power is less expensive than grid power and the savings grow over time as the solar power you generate is offsetting the ever increasing utility rates. |
2. It's a renewable energy source The majority of US electricity is generated from fossil fuels that will run out one day. Solar energy is a renewable energy source from the sun that isn't going to run out any time soon, especially in the sunny Southwest! |
3. Environmentally friendly The impacts of climate change are accelerating worldwide and the main culprit is the increasing buildup of CO2 and other greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and transitioning to clean, renewable energy sources like solar is imperative now and for future generations. |
4. Low/no maintenance needed Solar panels are warrantied to last 25 years and likely will produce many years beyond this without major maintenance required. Say goodbye to frequent repairs and unreliable utilities. |

Going solar saves big, and you might be able to save even more with federal incentives. By installing your solar energy system, you could qualify for the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). This credit lets you subtract up to 30% of what you spend on your solar energy system from your tax bill. To learn more about how the ITC works, check out this guide from the Solar Industries Association.
