Why should you invest in a solar energy system?
Reduce your electric bill
A solar PV system will generate electricity on site for your residence and lower the price of your electric bill immediately. And if your system is large enough, you can stop paying for electricity altogether! After the system pays for itself, you will enjoy virtually maintenance-free electricity for years to come.
Lock in the price of electricity
Electricity prices are volatile and on the rise. A solar energy system will generate electricity using the sun’s light, which is an abundant and free energy resource, so the operating costs of solar PV are essentially zero. Going solar is one way to protect yourself against the rising price of electricity.
It’s affordable
The Inflation Reduction Act extends the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) through December 31, 2025, for solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, combined heat and power (CHP) facilities, and microgrid projects that begin construction before December 31, 2025. You can take advantage of state and federal tax credits to greatly reduce the costs of your solar energy system. Coupled with rebate programs available from some utility providers, you can cut the costs of a solar PV system by up to 30-40%, depending on your situation.

Become energy independent
Take control of your energy production and quit paying too much for electricity. When you produce your own energy using solar PV, you become less sensitive to price swings in electricity down the road. What's more, if you add a storage component such as the Enphase IQ, you'll have power for your essential needs even during power outages.
It's a smart investment
When you consider how to invest your money in the stock market, for example, there’s always a risk that you might not get any return on your investment. With solar, this isn't the case. A properly designed system can virtually guarantee a return on your investment. It’s a safe place to put your money!
It’s environmentally responsible
Using coal and natural gas to produce electricity generates large amounts of greenhouse gases, environmental toxins, and uses lots of water. This isn’t the case with solar. Electricity generated using solar PV does not produce any greenhouse gases or toxins, nor does it require any water. Nearly all of the world’s countries are taking serious steps to cut back their greenhouse gas emissions. Going solar is just one way we can accomplish this.
