The Earth receives enough sunlight in one hour to power the world for one year.
This means that on any given day, the world receives enough sunlight in one hour to provide enough solar energy to fully power the entire world for an entire year. For now, we don't yet have the capabilities to fully harness this much insolation, but the potential for capturing more sunlight and converting it into clean, renewable energy is massive.
Rooftop solar panels can potentially save you $20,000 - or more!
Since most solar panels are guaranteed with 25-30-year lifetime warranties, there's a chance for even more savings in the long run. Your ultimate savings comes down to your home's energy efficiency and demands. The more energy efficient your home and the lower your energy demands, then the faster you'll obtain ROI on the system and begin generating free electricity.
A residential solar system can cut 100 tons of CO2.
A residential solar system is a durable investment with benefits that increase over time. This applies to both the cost savings and the reduction in harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
Solar panels can boost home values!
Unlike a kitchen remodeling or adding a spare room to your home, solar panels reduce your energy bills and continue generating value. Forbes found that, on average, homeowners who installed rooftop solar systems recovered about 97% of the initial investment before the savings from lowered electricity costs or net metering energy buybacks are factored in.
