Chief Advantages of Adding Solar Panels to Your Phoenix Home by Add On Solar

In Phoenix, AZ, every single summer is excruciatingly hot, there is no denying it. Energy bills are high naturally due to the expense incurred in keeping homes cool. In the summertime energy bills go up, get high and stay high until it cools off in late October, or early November.  

Solar panels are a fantastic method to use to counteract electricity expenses, lower the effect your Arizona home has on the ecology and environment and deliver a plethora of additional pluses, like championing small Phoenix, AZ, area companies and promoting freedom from buying electricity from the local power company.    

Thinking about getting solar panels installed on your Phoenix, AZ home means you must look at the chief advantages they offer to make a good decision on whether to do it or not. Featured below are the advantages you need to consider. They are as follows:

Lower or Wipe Out Your Electricity Bills

Arizona, particularly Phoenix, is cloudy during the day a maximum of 20% per year.  Even on cloudy days there is around 2 hours of sunshine per day and in sunny locales like Arizona its sunny around 6 hours per day on the average annually. Logically solar energy panels produce more energy when its sunny out. However, solar energy panels continue to draw down sunlight and generate electricity into residential solar energy systems on cloudy weather days. The amount of energy generated on cloudy days maxes out at twenty percent of the power produced on days when the sun is out.

This one is flat out fantastic. In Phoenix, AZ, there are 33 days of rain per year. That means there are 332 days of sunshine on the average. This translates into a consistent source of sunshine for a solar panel electrical system to generate enough energy to attain net zero energy use. Hot days means most homes generate an excess of energy generation compared to consumption.

Summing it All Up

So, as can be seen here, there are multiple advantages to installing solar panels to produce electricity for your home. By installing solar panels in your home, it is quite possible to eliminate your electricity bill, pay for the system with solar tax credits, energy rebates and solar energy renewable credits, see the cost savings through a lower electricity bill immediately, and help the planet, all at the same time.
