3 Reasons to Go Solar Right Now

Discover Why Now Is The Best Time To Go Solar. We get this question a lot— Does it really make financial sense to go solar? When hearing this, we can’t help but to light up with a smile. The reason being is we become excited to let you know that not only does solar make financial sense… but it also stands as a stellar short and long-term investment.

Free Yourself From Rising Utility Rates

We like being independent. I’m sure you do too. Greater independence might have been a main reason you became a homeowner in the first place… to have your own property and do what you want when you want. It’s liberating.

Now, imagine taking that independence a step further. Since being in your home, you’ve depended on local utilities to provide energy that is then sold to you by Retail Energy Providers (REP). You pay the provider. They give you energy. For a long time, that was the only viable way to stay connected. But that’s changed.

With advances in solar technology, Texas homeowners are now able to generate all the power they need from the sun. With a solar system at your home, you will be gaining energy independence and locking down your electric rate for the next 25-30+ years.

That independence means you’ll have a predictable energy expense and that you will no longer be at the whim of utility price increases. You’ve likely already heard the horror stories of the unfortunate Texans who saw their electric bill soar into the five digit range due to being trapped on variable rate plans during the unprecedented February storm. With solar, you’ll have peace of mind… knowing you can keep the lights on without crippling your finances.

Beyond weather related anomalies— which seem to be on the rise these days— natural gas prices are projected to increase over the next few years as production flattens and export increases. With natural gas being Texas’ primary source of electricity, higher prices translates to higher electric bills for you in the coming years if you don’t make the switch to solar.

Full Service Solar With No Upfront Cost

The cost for residential solar install has dropped significantly in recent years. Even so, an upfront cost for solar install will cost thousands of dollars, which can still be a daunting figure.

But we’re here to tell you that you don’t have to pay that upfront cost at all. Working with us, you’ll have access to financial vehicles that offer fixed-term loan payments over extended periods of time.

With loan payments lower than what you’re currently paying for utility electricity, you’ll be switching over to a sustainable energy source that is actually putting money back in your pocket every month.

On top of that, there are also considerable rebates and tax incentives available to further benefit Texas homeowners who go solar.

When you get solar with a $0 down option and take advantage of the available incentives and rebates, you will have immediate positive cash flow that you can use to further invest in yourself and your future.

Free Up Your Hard Earned Money

There is a dollar-for-dollar solar tax credit that can be applied directly to your federal taxes. This tax credit is currently equal to 26% of the total solar system cost.

If your solar system costs $20,0000, you get a tax credit for $5,200.

A nice ‘thank you’ compensation for your decision to go solar, this tax credit frees up your money for investment back into yourself or for whatever else you have in mind.\

And on top of the federal tax credit… there are many REPs and utilities that offer their own rebates. Oncor’s 2021 solar incentive program offers a potential $8,500 rebate to residential solar systems through April 16. Act fast and we’ll work to get you all of the available solar incentives.

Gain energy independence. Save on your electric bill. Pay less in taxes… You can probably start to see why our smiles were so big at the beginning of this conversation. If you’re in a position to benefit from solar, there’s never been a better time.

Increase Property Value

There is currently no set home appraisal method for solar. But as more and more of your neighbors adopt solar, it becomes more appealing to have. Homeowners are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of solar power, so having it already installed on a home can be a big plus for many buyers. A plus that can absolutely increase the value of your home.

Even better news is that while solar can increase the value of your home, you don’t need to pay higher property taxes for that increased valuation.

As longtime Texas residents, we’re proud to serve the community and we’re excited to be with you on your journey to adopt solar. Call us today for a courtesy consultation and you’ll be well on your way to greater energy independence.

Independence that will free you up, save you money, and bless you with a more sustainable life.
