Solar Power and Energy Independence

A solar battery can allow you to become energy independent. Batteries work by storing your excess solar energy for later use, thus reducing your reliance on the electricity grid. It is possible to get a storage system that has backup power functionality too, providing you with peace of mind and electricity when the grid goes down.

Add Value To Your Home*

All things being equal, solar panels could add to the value of your home. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory offers a useful guide when determining how much your property’s value will go up. According to its research, each additional $1 in energy bill savings (from your solar system) could add $20 to your home’s total value.

This rule of thumb varies depending on a number of factors, including the location of your home, the size of the installation, and the value of your home.

The exact numbers vary from property to property and installation to installation.
