It’s crazy just how many people in my area seem to have solar panels on their roofs. At first it was just a couple of people on my commute to work I would notice who had them, but now it seems like at least a couple of people a week are getting them. I felt like I was missing out so I did a little research on the subject. And I found that that as well as being beneficial to the environment. Installing solar panels is not as expensive as I thought it would be, and more importantly it can save you some serious money over the years. So here are the top reasons for you to install solar panels.

Rebates!

Pretty much all governments, local councils and whatever are offering residents huge incentives in order to install solar panels on their property. It works out that in some cases you can get solar panels for next to nothing. Now many of these rebates seem to change on an almost weekly basis. So make sure that you do not put this off to long or the best deals will be gone.

Lower Electricity Bills

This is not a myth, it is a simple fact. If you have solar panels on the roof of your property then your electricity bills will be far lower each month. Couple this with a cheaper energy tariff and you can severely lower your bills by a quarter, half and there are some folks who simply do not have to pay anything at all! Think about that next time you look at one of your overpriced energy bills. Electricity bills are rising on a yearly basis, you can get off this price hike train right now by installing solar panels.

Increase The Value Of Your Property

Solar panels add a great deal of value to your property. Not only that, but they also make your home a much more attractive purchase for potential buyers. Think about it, if you have two similar homes in the same area, but one has solar panels, and the other does not what one would you buy? Just telling people how much money they will save because the house has solar panels is sure to get some huge interest in your property.

It’s Better For The Environment

No doubt you have heard, and seen many things in regards to helping the planet by reducing your carbon foot print. Governments all over the world for years have been trying to find ways to lessen the damage our energy consumption does to the environment. Well solar panels are a great way to start. Not only will they save you money, but they will help your kids and future generations by giving them a less polluted planet.

You Can Be The Trend Setter For Your Area

Like I said I was drawn to solar panels because some of my neighbours had them, and this was what triggered my interest. The more solar panels an area has then the more faith potential customers will have in them.
