Is solar right for your home? That sounds like a yes or no question, but it's a bit more complicated than that. There can be many reasons why solar and solar batteries are a good choice for your home. If more than one of them applies to your situation, then you should certainly lean in that direction.
Affordability
Solar panels used to be expensive, to the point of not being something a typical homeowner could afford. However, that's changed. They still have a rather large price tag. However, there are often rebates and tax incentives that make them a lot more affordable. You can also finance them and expect them to last a long while. Don't forget that they can eventually pay for themselves with the electricity that they generate.
Help the Environment
Using solar power at home isn't going to make a huge impact on the environment. Note that it isn't totally green. The materials used in making solar panels require things to be mined out of the earth and fossil fuels might have been used in manufacturing and transporting the goods to your home. However, once they're in place, they produce electricity for your home without generating any greenhouse gases or creating climate change problems. So while they may have an environmental cost, they will undoubtedly pay it off in the end.
Set an Example
Whether you use the professionals of Rayburn1 Roofing, Solar & Windows, or a provider in your local market, neighbors are likely to stop by and inquire about what's going on. It's a great chance to help the neighborhood see what's possible about helping out the global environment. You can set a great example for your own family and others at the same time.
Your Roof Faces Anywhere Except North
Even if your roof has a north-facing slope, any slopes in other directions can generate a fair amount of solar power. South-facing slopes are generally best all year long, but southeast- and southwest-facing slopes still do pretty well. West-facing slopes do their best in the summer, but that's when you might need power the most for AC. Even east-facing slopes can help in winter.
Solar technology is more affordable, efficient, and long-lasting than ever before. Batteries can store daytime solar energy for electricity use when you are home. As long as your local laws and HOA permit solar panels on a home you own, you should definitely consider installing them.
