Here are just some of the advantages of solar electricity:

Save Money

With solar, you'll spend less money on power bills. You save money right away and protect yourself from yearly electricity rate increases.

An Investment

Over time, investing in solar can "earn" you more money than stocks or bonds. This long-term return on your solar investment is another economic benefit of switching to solar power.

Home Value

When you install a solar electric system, you increase the value of your home and its resale price.

Environment

Using solar power - instead of power that your utility made from "dirty" fossil fuels - decreases the amount of greenhouse gases and other pollutants we release into the atmosphere.

Energy Independence

Installing solar panels makes you less dependent on foreign energy sources and means you're less dependent on "brown" energy from the power grid too.

It's easy to see the many advantages of solar power. In the past, the biggest disadvantage has been the cost of solar.
