There’s never a bad time to go solar, but some seasons are preferable to others, and spring is one of the best!
Here are five reasons why you should consider installing solar panels this spring:
-
Save on Summer Electricity Bills
Many people start to think about solar panel installation in their homes during the summer when their AC is running nonstop and electricity bills are rising. In order to combat those costs with solar power, though, you need to make sure your system is installed before the summer heat sets in.
By scheduling solar panel installation during the early summer, you can have your system up and running, allowing you to run your AC on solar power and save money on high summer electricity bills. -
Take Advantage of the Long Summer Days
Solar panels generate the most electricity during the summer when the days are longer and there’s more solar energy to be captured. By going solar during the spring, you can be ready to take advantage of the long summer days. Your solar panels will likely generate more electricity than you need during the summer months. Thanks to net metering, you can trade that extra electricity to your utility in exchange for a credit, which can then be used to pay for any grid electricity you may need to buy during the winter when your solar panels are generating less electricity. - Claim the 40% Solar Subsidy on the benchmark rate of your state Before it’s Reduced By taking advantage of the Central Gov. Subsidy Scheme in 2022, you can reduce your Installation cost by up to 40%. This incentive isn’t permanent, however. To get the subsidy of up to 40% credit, your solar system must be fully installed and turned on by December 31, 2022. After that, the solar subsidy credit will be reduced in 2023 and then eliminated entirely for homeowners in 2024.
