Environmentally friendly: Solar offers a clean and renewable source of energy that produces zero emissions, improving air quality unlike their fossil fuel counterparts.


Increased home value: Homes with solar panels are typically valued higher than those without, as they offer a unique and green selling point to potential buyers.


Energy independence: By generating your own electricity, you become less reliant on the grid and any potential power outages, rate hikes, or blackouts that may occur.


Government incentives: The U.S. government is encouraging solar installation by offering up to a 30% tax credit to homeowners who choose solar, through 2033.
