The good news is that many states, cities, and solar companies in the US provide incentives to install solar panels on your roof. Before starting renovations, ask your contractor what options they have, and if they don’t, they should be aware of all state or city discounts available.
In general, the government is trying to encourage citizens to invest in solar energy. However, only Department of Energy rebates and tax breaks can save you up to 30 percent. Your local utilities and electricity providers can also help you save money.
Don’t ignore the need for maintenance.
It’s all about establishing proper maintenance methods to keep your solar panels working and your roof in good condition. It is recommended that you check your contractor’s service methods before beginning installation. If you cannot meet these maintenance requirements, your equipment will not last as long as you want it to.
Final thoughts
Installing solar panels is not a do-it-yourself project. If you don’t have the skill and knowledge of the installation procedure, many expensive things can go wrong, like leaky roofs and wiring problems. One of the best decisions you can make for your home is to install a solar panel on your rooftop. You will simultaneously save money, reduce your carbon footprint and increase the value of your property.
