There are a few common reasons why homeowners often look to make the switch to solar power as their primary power source in the home, from sustainability priorities to cost efficiency factors, and one great example in this latter category is high electrical bills. Homes that use lots of power on a regular basis can benefit in especially large ways from the switch to solar - but what are some of the reasons why your bills might be high in the first place, prompting such a change?
At Intermountain Wind & Solar, we're here to offer a wide range of commercial and residential solar power installation and related services to clients around SLC, Utah and Boise, Idaho. We help clients assess all their energy and power needs within the home, plus advise on how our solar panels will be able to meet your needs in a more sustainable way. Here are some of the most common causes we see for high electric bills when clients come to us looking for solutions, plus the value of a solar power system for offsetting these needs.
There are several major factors that may be causing your energy bills to skyrocket, including the following:
All of these reasons play a role in high electric bills - but how can solar power help with them? For starters, solar systems can help reduce the amount of electricity needed to power a home. By using energy from the sun, solar panels can generate their own electricity to meet a portion or all of a home's energy needs.
Additionally, if your state offers net metering programs, you may be able to receive credits for excess energy produced by your solar system that is sent back to the grid. This can help offset electric bills even further, potentially resulting in zero monthly costs for energy. Furthermore, solar panels are more efficient and cost-effective than ever before, making them a viable option for homeowners looking to save on their energy bills.
Now, even if you install a solar power system, there are still measures you can take to help lower your electric consumption and reduce your energy usage even further. These include:
Switching to solar power can help homeowners reduce their monthly electric bills significantly, while also promoting sustainability and reducing carbon footprints.
