More and more Americans are getting solar panels installed in their homes. According to TheRoundup.org, so far, over three million homes have done so. Are you thinking of doing that? Here are three reasons why you should invest in them.

1. You Can Save on Energy Bills

This is by far the biggest draw that initially brings our customers in. After all, who wouldn't like to save a bunch of money on their energy bills? Solar is one of the best options out there to save. There's even a 30% federal tax credit available to help subsidize the construction. We also offer free estimates, financing, and solar panel cleaning to ensure your system is doing as much it can for you for as long as possible.

2. You Can Increase Your Home's Value

There are a lot of things you can do to improve your home's value and curbside appeal. You could paint the outside, add a new roof, renovate the kitchen and bathroom, or construct a new fence. If there's one thing that's really going to entice buyers, though, it's the chance to save money on powering their home. If you plan on putting your home on the market soon, it could be a great time to try out new solar panels. You're likely to wind up getting a nice ROI when it comes time to close.

3. You'll Be Helping the Planet

Since solar energy is renewable, you're not going to be using fossil fuels to power your home. That's important as those fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As it builds up, it can contribute to things like global climate change, which affects everyone. Using solar power equates to emitting less carbon dioxide. You'll be doing your part to keep the planet livable for humans. Who wouldn't feel good about that?

There are also some minor limitations when it comes to solar panels, as you may know. You'll have to prepare for the installation, though you'll find that they're fairly simple and tend to pay for themselves rather quickly. You'll also need to get battery storage as you need something to power your home when it's cloudy or nighttime, but that'll also be particularly useful during blackouts. Unsurprisingly, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association, more than three million people in the U.S. so far have decided that the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Are you one of them?
