Home solar provides numerous benefits for homeowners. By generating your own electricity, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate your monthly energy bills. Solar power also gives you greater energy independence, reducing your reliance on the grid and protecting you from rising energy costs. Beyond the financial savings, solar energy is clean and renewable, helping to lower your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable environment. Additionally, installing solar panels can increase your property value, with solar-equipped homes often selling faster and at higher prices. Plus, with available tax incentives and rebates, the initial cost of solar installation can be significantly reduced, making the switch to solar more affordable than ever.

If your solar system generates more energy than you use, the excess electricity is typically sent back to the grid. This process is known as net metering, and in many areas, your utility company will credit you for the extra energy produced. These credits can be applied to future electricity use, allowing you to offset your energy costs during periods when your system isn't generating as much power, like at night or on cloudy days. Essentially, any surplus energy helps reduce your future utility bills.

Yes, your home solar system will still generate electricity during rainy or cloudy weather, though production will be lower. Even in areas with frequent rain or overcast days, solar energy can still be a viable option for your home.

Home solar panels typically last between 20 to 30 years, and sometimes even longer. However, this doesn't mean they stop producing electricity after a couple of decades. It simply means their energy production will gradually decrease. Even beyond 30 years, solar panels can continue to generate electricity, but at a lower efficiency than their original optimal performance.
