Why go green/solar?
Why solar panels?

It is possible for solar panels to significantly reduce or even eliminate your electric bill, depending on several factors. The amount of money you can save by switching to solar will depend on the size and efficiency of your solar panel system, the amount of sunlight your location receives, and your current energy usage. In general, the more electricity you use and the more solar panels you have installed, the more money you will be able to save on your electric bill. In some cases, an extensive enough solar panel system can produce more electricity than a household needs, allowing you to sell excess electricity back to the grid and earn credits on your electric bill. However, it's essential to keep in mind that the cost of installing a solar panel system can be high, so it may take several years for the savings on your electric bill to offset the initial investment.
This is one of the most common arguments. And it has a basis - about 50 years ago, when the productivity of solar panels was extremely low, and the cost of their production was sky-high, people in the northern regions could put them on the roof but did not do this due to the lack of prospects - the angle of their inclination to the sun reduced the already low efficiency. Now we have available panels with an efficiency of about 20-23%, for which the angle of inclination to the sun is not of fundamental importance. You can safely put them and not be afraid of low efficiency.
While it is true that the amount of sunlight that a location receives can affect the efficiency of solar panels, it is not necessarily true that a place is too far north to use solar panels effectively. Many northern states, such as New York, Maine, and Minnesota, have robust solar industries and successfully use solar panels to generate electricity. The amount of electricity that a solar panel system can produce will depend on several factors, including the size and efficiency of the solar panels, the angle at which the panels are installed, and the amount of sunlight the location receives. It's also important to note that modern solar panel technology has advanced significantly in recent years, and many solar panels can now produce electricity even on cloudy or overcast days. So, while the amount of sunlight a location receives is undoubtedly a factor to consider, it is not necessarily a limiting factor when using solar panels.

The initial cost of installing a solar panel system can be significant, and it may take several years for the savings on your electric bill to offset the initial investment. However, there are several factors to consider when evaluating the cost of solar panels. First, the cost of solar panels has fallen significantly in recent years, making them more affordable than ever before. Second, many incentives and financing options are available to help offset the cost of installing a solar panel system, such as a 26% federal tax credit, state and local rebates, and solar loans. Finally, the cost of solar panels is expected to decrease in the coming years, making them even more affordable. Additionally, by generating your own electricity with solar panels, you can reduce or eliminate your reliance on the grid and save money on your electric bill over time. So, while the initial cost of solar panels may be high, they can offer many long-term benefits and savings.
Solar panels are not likely to ruin your roof. When properly installed by a professional, solar panels can help to protect your roof and extend its lifespan. Solar panels are typically mounted on a frame attached to your roof, and the panels themselves are made from durable materials, such as tempered glass, designed to withstand the elements. As long as your roof is in good condition and can support the weight of the solar panels, installing them should be no problem. Many homeowners find that the presence of solar panels can help to protect their roofs from weather-related damage, such as wind and hail. Of course, it's always a good idea to have your roof inspected by a professional before installing solar panels to ensure that it is in good condition and can support the additional weight. In some cases, to prevent your roof from future problems, we may need to repair or reinforce it before installing solar panels.
We are not your county treasury department and don't use Taro cards in our office. But! In some cases, installing solar panels on your home may result in an increase in your property taxes. This is because the value of your home may increase due to the solar panels, and property taxes are typically based on the value of your home. However, the amount of any potential property tax increase will vary depending on the location and the specific circumstances.
In some cases, the increase in property taxes may be offset by the savings on your electricity bills that you will experience from using solar panels. In addition, some states and localities offer property tax exemptions or credits for homeowners who install solar panels, which can help to reduce or eliminate any potential property tax increase. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or your local tax assessor before installing solar panels to understand how they may affect your property taxes.
Also, suppose you decide to sell your house. In that case, the possible price will most likely increase. According to independent appraisers and realtors, houses with installed solar systems are sold much faster and become more attractive to potential buyers.
Generally, we recommend using the equity in your home, which is likely formed after the solar panel installation, for financially responsible things - for example, buying life insurance for yourself or buying more stocks in your retirement account.
Consult with your financial and tax advisers - they will find a purpose for your extra money better than us.
