Pros of Solar In Fayetteville

Home solar has been expanding rapidly in North Carolina for the past few years, and Fayetteville has been a major player in that growth. All over the state, people have been adding solar systems to their homes to join the solar movement and enjoy the benefits of solar energy. 

While it’s easy to see the upfront benefits of solar, the long-term benefits might be even more valuable than you thought! If you’re wondering why you should consider a solar panel system for your Fayetteville home, check out the many benefits of solar energy below!

1. Potentially Save On Electric Bills

When you produce your own clean energy, you can potentially reduce your reliance on the grid. That means you might use less energy from a utility provider, which can potentially save you money on your electric bills. Those savings will add up over the years and can have a substantial, long-term financial benefit for your family.

2. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Use of solar panel systems contribute to a reduction in carbon emissions. As an infinite resource, solar energy can help lessen our impact on the planet by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, lessening our air pollution and promoting sustainable energy sources overall.

3. Avoid The Effects Of Power Outages

With a Pink Energy battery backup, you can store unused excess solar energy in a backup system to be used in the event of a power outage. This allows you to keep key components of your home running while your non-solar neighbors will be left in the dark.

4. Take Advantage Of Net Metering

If your solar panels are producing more energy than you need, you might have the option of selling the excess electricity back to the grid for credit on your future energy bills. This is another way that solar can have an impact on your electric bills and save you money long-term. North Carolina is one of the states that does offer net metering, which makes Fayetteville-area homeowners one of the groups that can potentially take advantage of this deal, depending on their energy provider.

5. Get The Federal Solar Tax Credit

There is currently a solar tax credit available to homeowners who choose to add solar panels. If you purchase a solar panel system in 2021, you could earn up to 26% of the cost back as part of the federal tax credit⁵. This 26% credit is only available through the end of 2022, so it’s a great time to think about going solar!
