Why Go Solar?

Backup Power: Coupled with energy storage solutions like batteries, solar power systems can provide electricity during grid outages, ensuring uninterrupted power supply.

Control Over Energy Usage: Solar installations allow homeowners to monitor and manage their energy consumption, optimizing usage patterns and further reducing dependence on external sources.

Tesla and my SolarEdge mobile apps: Monitor your system’s performance and energy consumption in real-time and control various aspects like battery settings, EV charging schedules, and load priorities conveniently from your mobile device. Additionally, the app helps you save energy by optimizing consumption during periods of solar availability or low grid rates, making it a comprehensive tool for managing all your home energy devices.

Solar’s tangible environmental benefits over fossil fuels are showcased using the EPA’s metrics, every megawatt-hour of solar electricity reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 0.6 metric tons. That’s equivalent to not driving a car for over 1,400 miles.

The Colorado sun is an abundant energy source. The solar energy that strikes our planet in just one hour exceeds global energy consumption for an entire year, underscoring the vast, untapped potential of solar as a renewable resource.

Coal and nuclear power plants can require hundreds of gallons of water to produce just one megawatt-hour of electricity, while solar photovoltaic (PV) systems require none of this precious resource.

The carbon emissions associated with the production of solar panels are generally offset within 2 to 3 years of their operation, making them a net positive contributor to reducing greenhouse gas emissions over their lifecycle.

Once installed, solar panels significantly reduce or even eliminate monthly electricity bills. Over the system’s lifespan, homeowners can save thousands of dollars depending on local energy prices and solar production. Solar pays for itself.

Tax Incentives and Rebates: Many governments offer tax credits, rebates, and incentives for installing solar systems. These financial benefits can offset a significant portion of the initial installation costs, making solar power even more affordable.

Higher Resale Value: Homes with solar installations often command a higher selling price. According to a study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, homes with solar panels can fetch a premium of about $4,000 per kilowatt of installed solar capacity compared to homes without.

Attractiveness to Buyers: As energy efficiency and environmental consciousness become more important to homebuyers, properties with solar systems stand out in the market. They offer potential buyers the immediate benefit of reduced electricity bills and a sustainable energy source, making such homes more desirable.

Convenience and Time-saving: Home EV charging eliminates the need to visit public charging stations, allowing car owners to charge overnight and start each day with a full battery.

Cost-Efficient: Charging at home, especially during off-peak hours, can be more cost-effective than using public chargers, leading to significant savings over time.
