subject: Top 5 Reasons To Buy Solar Panels [print this page] Introducing Eco-friendly products into your home has an impact that is both personal and global. You can cut back your electric bills, increase the value of your home, and reduce your carbon footprint. Most homeowners have invested in a few "green" appliances already, but many of them are on the fence when it comes to going solar.
An investment in solar panels is not only an investment in the future well being of your children, but it also has huge benefits for you in the present. There are so many reason to go solar, but to keep things short we've outlined the top five reasons why you should buy solar electric panels for your home.
1. There are many government incentives for homeowners who add solar panels to their homes. Tax breaks, low-interest loans, and Energy Star programs can cut the amount you pay for solar products and installation by a ton.
2. Adding solar panels to your home instantly increases its value by 10 percent without raising your property taxes. And when it comes time to sell your home, buyers will be lining up at the door because they love homes that are energy efficient. It means that their utility bills will be lower.
3. Did you know that coal supplies almost 85 percent of the electricity used in the nation? With solar panels, you will help cut back the use of a fossil fuel that contributes to global warming when burned.
4. When it comes to solar power, you often here the phrase "free yourself." This is because you will no longer have to deal with rising utility cost. You may even see your electric meter spin backwards, as many homeowners with solar panels have. You will also never have to worry about power outages.
5. Solar panels use a clean and renewable power source. You can use them anywhere in the world and know that you are doing something good for the environment and for future generations.
Now, its time to go "wireless" and unplug from the electrical grid.
