With love in the air this Valentine’s day, we wanted to share with you our favorite reasons to go solar! Whether you’re on the market for an economical or environmental energy solution, solar is the perfect candidate for you!
1. Lower Your Energy Costs
Have you fallen out of love with your energy bill? By producing your own energy through solar panels, your reliance on your electric supplier will diminish! Even if your solar panel system doesn’t generate 100% of your energy, you will see significant changes in your energy costs per month!
2. Increase Your Property Value
Several studies have shown that homes with solar pv systems sell quicker than non-solar homes and have higher property values. As appraisers and home buyers become educated about the benefits of solar, interest for homes with pre-installed solar systems increase. Not to mention, Illinois law prohibits any property tax increase due to solar! Solar is a great way to increase property value without an increase in property taxes.
3. Federal and State Incentives Make Solar Affordable
With federal and state incentives to make solar affordable, there’s no better time than the present to go solar! As of 2020, you can earn a 26% Federal Investment Tax Credit. Meanwhile, Illinois has a great net metering policy, a Solar Renewable Energy Credit system, and a state law that prohibits property taxes from being increased due to solar.
4. Make a Statement
Believe it or not, going solar makes a positive statement. Whether you’re switching to solar energy for your home, business, or farm, solar energy shows your commitment to sustainability. Specifically, businesses and farmers are finding that consumers are rewarding “green” behavior.
5. Support Local Business
