Were you aware that you can save tons of money on your electric bill by converting your home to solar power? Most of you are but for some this is a new concept. Besides saving a ton of money, another benefit to installing solar panels is that it is way better for the environment. The energy you will be using is renewable and never ending not to mention completely clean and non-polluting. I will give you just 5 reasons why switching would be not only beneficial to you, but to everybody.
By switching to solar panels, you will be saving money on your electric bill, because you will be producing your own power. How much you save depends on the size and amount of solar panels you install. If you install a large enough system, you can not only completely wipe out your power bill, but generate a surplus of energy to where the power company will pay you for the excess energy!
Contrary to what you might think, you do not need to buy the solar panels. You can build them. And believe it or not, it is not hard as long as you follow the proper instructions. Again, this will save you even more money. I will explain more about that in a minute.
Solar panels require very little maintenence. There are no moving parts so there is very little possibility of anything going wrong.
Another nice thing about powering your home with solar energy, is the avoidance of power outages. If you have a full home conversion you will completely be immuned. However, even if you have one panel, you are still able to power part of your house in this situation.
Solar power is clean and non-polluting. You will not only be saving loads of money but also actively helping preserve our environment. Solar power is also renewable and as long as the sun exists, it is never ending.
So those are just a few examples of why switching is beneficial. There are so many more reasons and you can check them out on my website and blog. I will also explain how you can build them yourself very easily, yes easily, for under $300. You can make it a project with your son or daughter...It would even be a great science experiment for them. The sooner you do it, the sooner you will fire the power company and save thousands of dollars a year.
