Is it worth it to get solar panels on my home or business?

This is a broad question that is entirely dependent on various factors but the short answer is YES! With many utility companies increasing electricity rates as well as the federal and state tax incentives there is no better time to go solar. There are immediate benefits to going solar such as reducing your carbon footprint, savings on utility bills, and the tax incentives you receive. However, one of the greatest benefits is the overall savings you will receive over the lifetime of your system. The average solar system will last 25-30 years and will recoup your initial investment within the first 10 years. Once your system is paid off you will not have a utility bill or a solar bill, so every bit of energy you produce is money saved for the remainder of your system's life. For the average homeowner, this is 10's of thousands of dollars saved over the lifetime of your solar system. When you look at it that way, going solar is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make. There are few situations where we would not recommend going solar, the main one being; you live in a home that is completely covered/shaded by trees, neighboring building structures etc. Unless you are able to cut down some limbs to provide ample sunlight to your solar system, or if you have space to locate a solar system elsewhere such as a ground mount system we would not recommend going solar.
