Andrew Yoder, a customer of Ag Solar Solutions, reported that in the first 12 months of having his solar panels installed, he had a cost savings of 73% which yielded over $31,000 in savings. Choosing to invest in solar could mean similar savings for you. With the heat of summer on the horizon, let’s consider why solar is a great investment.
You can expect savings year-round as Andrew testified, particularly in the summer, and here’s why:
See How much would you save?
- Longer Days: The longer days in the summer mean that the panels have longer to capture sunlight for power.
- More Direct Sunlight: Solar panels do not need direct sunlight to produce electricity, however, they do work better in direct sunlight. In the summer, the sun is higher for longer periods of time than in the winter, thus producing more direct sunlight.
- Fewer Overcast Days: Typically, we experience less overcast days in the summer than in the winter. Even though solar can still provide power on rainy, overcast days, the ideal day for optimal output is a clear, sunny day.
As summer approaches, so does the heat. You will be running the A/C much more than in the winter. This could greatly increase your power bill, but solar is a long-term savings solution that proves to save year-round, especially during the summer. Because solar saves you a percentage of cost with your utility bill, naturally, as your bill increases, the percentage saved also increases. Harness the power of the sun this year!
