From turning on lights to powering appliances, electricity keeps your home running smoothly. As an alternative to traditional resources, many homeowners equip their residences with a solar energy system. Using photovoltaic panels to convert renewable energy into accessible electricity will benefit the household and environment.

Why You Should Switch to Solar Power

1. Help the Environment

To create electricity, utility companies use coal, natural gas, and oil. Using fossil fuels to produce energy contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and climate change. Switching to renewable energy will reduce your carbon footprint, improve air quality, and prevent people from developing harmful illnesses, like respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

2. Reduce Energy Costs

solarThe cost of using conventional electricity is steadily increasing, and last year, consumers were paying up to 12.89 cents per kilowatt hour. Use free, renewable energy to supplement the electricity from the utility company to greatly reduce your monthly energy expenses. On clear, sunny days, you can use the system to generate electricity and switch back to conventional sources at night and when it’s overcast.

3. Receive Tax Incentives

Due to the environmental benefits associated with renewable energy, the government offers incentives to make the switch. In Hawaii, solar users are eligible for a 35% income tax credit. This credit reduces the initial expense of equipment installation, and you can put the money toward adding more energy-efficient features to the home.
