For those on board with renewable energy, the wave of residential solar is exciting. Homeowners can now get solar that once only well-funded government projects had. For those that see the benefits of solar the question is when to make the investment, not whether to make it. Although not the right timing for everyone it might be the right time for you. Taking a look at what goes into this investment will help you better decide if now is the perfect time. Should I Wait For Better Technology? For those on board with renewable energy, the wave of residential solar is exciting. Homeowners can now get solar that once only well-funded government projects had. Innovation In The Realm Of Solar Energy Storage Efficiency At a Price We Can Afford Lithium-ion batteries allow businesses and homeowners to store their excesses energy. These batteries can charge and discharge more with less energy loss. They also have more energy packed into a smaller space. If you are willing to put in the maintenance required. Then a Flooded lead-acid battery would give you the most juice for its price, but this takes a lot of work. Lithium-ion batteries are your best bet for maintenance free total home battery backup. In June 2018, the EAC brought Thermal and chemical storage options to the Department of Energy. These options, however, are for large backup solutions rather than in-home storage. Ingenious Ways to Harness the Sun Today uses for solar continue to blossom. Thin film solar panels continue to become more efficient. Solar windows may soon be the new mainstream energy source for skyscrapers. Near infrared solar cells could increase solar harnessing potential, but are still developing. Although problems have arisen with solar roads, people are working out the kinks. Some ideas that will take years to become a reality are solar balloons and lunar power stations. How New Solar Tech is Affecting Residential Solar For those that want to benefit from solar, it is in their best interest to get the best-tested products now. You will then save more by upgrading after the new tech gets tested and made available to the public. By waiting you may save some money on the price of solar, but in the meantime, you are losing money to your utility. Is Solar Worth It For Me? What Solar Installers Look For in a Home Before setting an appointment you will get asked questions to determine if solar is a good fit.

Qualifying for the 2018 Federal Solar Tax Credit In order to get this tax credit, you need to owe taxes. If you are on Social Security or have a non-taxed retirement, you will not qualify. This is because these credits get applied toward federal taxes that you would have owed. Solar Supporting Policies Determine whether solar is a good option has a lot to do with your utility metering and solar incentives. If you live in an area that doesn't support solar, getting a system may be hard to do and more expensive. Are Solar Panels Worth the Investment? Your Electric Bill with Solar Panels When you purchase a solar array through Go Solar Group, you replace your electric bill with a solar bill. Your solar bill will last between 10 and 12 years. After this loan gets paid off, you only have a small grid connection fee for the life of the panels. A typical solar panel warranty lasts 25 years, but most panels last much longer. This means that you will end up saving thousands of dollars during those remaining 10-plus years. Investing in Your Future Increasing the Value of Your Home You need to make sure that you purchase your solar array, though. If you lease your system, it will not affect the value of your home. Having a leased system will also make selling your home difficult. The new buyer would need to be willing to take on the lease, or you would have to pay to cancel your lease early.
