Solar Panels: A Triple Threat
Aside from the scary thought of leaning off from gas or electric, solar panels are something to take advantage of. Introducing renewable energy as your home’s power source, solar panels are an evolving trend to be reckoned with. It’s no longer a trend, but more of a lifestyle for families seeking energy efficiency without trying too hard.
Once you know your home is perfect for solar panel installation, there are two steps involved:
Make the Renewable Energy Switch
Is Your Home a Proper Candidate for Solar Panels?
For more than a century and a half, scientists and inventors have been studying how powerful ultraviolet energy from the sun can be collected, stored, and distributed where energy is needed. Even during the winter, solar panels have the ability to produce a constant electric current during the daily and annual movements of the sun. Where there is plentiful sun during the summer, the action of solar heat can be saved, and can sustain the average family home.

Financing
Upfront costs thin out, and becomes one of the best investments for your home. Georgia sees the sun more often than not, so there is no worry you’ll be without. All unused energy produced by the solar panels can be carried over to next month in bill credits. You can use these credits towards your bill or sell them back to Georgia Power at the rate equal to their “avoided-energy” cost, or the cost that the utility would’ve spent to supply the power itself. Especially during the summer when there is plentiful sun, this can open up a friendly competition between family members of who can use less energy and how much the family can save each month.
