Your Neighbors Have Switched to Solar: Should You?
There are plenty of Texas homes adorned with solar panel systems, but yours isn’t one of them – why not?
Maybe you’ve heard the buzz surrounding solar panels but haven’t had the time to research their benefits yet, or perhaps you want to go solar, but don’t feel as if now is the right time. Whatever your reasons for not having made the switch to solar yet, it could be that your neighbors are busy making energy savings and reducing their carbon footprint, while you’re stuck paying exorbitant utility prices and contributing towards greenhouse gas emissions with your fossil fuel hungry grid powered electricity.
Have your neighbors made a smart decision to invest in solar panels, or will you have the last laugh?

Solar Is A Fantastic Long Term Investment
While solar panels are a big initial investment, many homeowners see a return on their investment in a matter of years, and up until that time, continue to make big savings on their electricity bills. As such, if you can afford to invest in a solar panel system now, you’ll almost certainly be as grateful that you did, as your neighbors.
If you can’t afford to pay for a solar panel array outright, a local provider may be able to offer you a financing option. To find out if this is the case, call up a few solar panel installers in your locality and see what they’re able to offer.
In terms of having the last laugh, your neighbors will be chuckling away as they watch their energy bills get lower and lower, and you’ll be left green with envy.
Other Ways You Can Benefit From A Solar System
Aside from being able to significantly reduce their monthly electricity bills, and ultimately, eliminate them altogether, your smart neighbors are also benefitting in the following ways from their solar system:
-
Their Home Has Increased In Value
While this might not be important to you right now, even if you don’t plan to sell your home, you never know what the future may bring and the need to do so could easily arise. With a professionally installed solar array on your roof, your home could sell for far more than its original price, and even sell quicker if you’re in a hurry to move out and move on.
-
They’re Earning Tax Breaks
With some juicy federal tax breaks in line for anyone converting their home to solar at the moment, there’s never been a better time to make the switch; but hurry before the situation changes and tax breaks and other financial incentives stop.
-
They’re Not As Stressed
High utilities come with high levels of stress, but with the reliability of a solar system, your neighbors are paying nowhere near as much for their energy as they once were, and hence, their stress levels have flatlined!
If your neighbors have gone solar, there’s undoubtedly a good reason for it. To find out more about the many benefits of switching to solar at home, schedule a free, no obligation consultation with a local solar company, and stop letting your neighbors have all the fun!
