Top Reasons to Go Solar This Summer

Solar energy is more than just a hot trend - it’s a way for homeowners to save money on their electricity bill as well as reduce their carbon footprint. What’s better than saving money while simultaneously saving the planet?

Another huge benefit to solar is the 26% tax incentive homeowners receive for installing solar panels in 2022. But if all that’s still not enough to sway you toward solar, there are plenty of reasons why this summer might be the perfect time for you and your family to go solar!

Here's why summer is the ideal time for solar panel installation:

Reap the Benefits Immediately

Does your energy bill skyrocket during the summer months? You’re definitely not alone. Keeping your home cool by running the air conditioner all day and night, not to mention your family being home more during summer break, can easily drive up energy costs.

Installing solar panels on your roof during the summer means you’ll be able to reap the benefits of a lower electricity bill immediately. The sooner in the summer you install solar, the more money you’ll be able to save.

More Sunlight Equals More Energy

The Summer Solstice kicked off summer, and with the warmer season comes more hours of sunlight! The longer days of summer help solar panels generate even more energy.

This is even better if you have battery storage, which allows you to harness and store any extra energy generated to use it year round.

Convenient for Installation

Installations occur during the entire year, but other seasons tend to have more weather-related disruptions. The chance of having a project be delayed because of the weather is notably reduced during the summer. Plus, the extra daylight allows solar companies more time during the workday to accomplish the installation task.

Summer break is also more convenient for you, the homeowner, since you may have more flexibility with your schedule, allowing you to be around for more of the installation process.
