There are lots of options for our world to go green and save money. Running your home on solar energy rather than electric energy is one of the many ways if you want to save the Earth and your hard-earned money. Of course there are negative and positive effects of adding solar power to your home.

Let’s get the negative effects out of the way first. Cost is the main reason. It tends to be expensive to install these systems. Secondly, the solar panels may require a lot of space. Lastly, if the roof is not in a good position towards the sun, adding solar panels may not be the best option for the homeowner. Now we can focus on the positive. The cost of energy is significantly lower with the help of solar power. Making the switch means that you will be going green and renewing energy and not adding pollution to the environment.

First step is assessing what needs to be done in the house that will contribute to solar energy. Next, solar panels are attached to the roof to convert the sun’s light into electricity. Because it is a natural form of energy, pollutants such as oil and coal are not used and the environment is unharmed. Some use solar collectors, which serve the purpose of storing the solar energy for heating water.

This energy can also be used to heat and cool our homes and the supply of solar energy is endless. Because solar energy is becoming a more popular trend, it is projected that installation prices may be reduced in the near future.

DCM: How long does the process of adding solar power to your home take?
Avery: It takes about three to four months. When the process is done, we also take care of the paper work that needs to be completed for our customers to gain the 30 percent of the entire installation costs in tax credit.

DCM: By adding solar power to your home, is the cost of energy drastically reduced?
Avery: Yes, there is quite a difference with the addition of solar power in the home. In some cases, customer’s bills from PECO have been reduced by a few hundred dollars monthly.

DCM: Are there limits on how many appliances can be operated at the same time? Also, does cloudy weather affect the way the energy is used in the home?
Avery: Regardless of solar energy or electric energy, the power remains the same. You will not endure any interruptions by running the washer, dryer, television and dishwasher at the same time. If it is not particularly sunny a certain week, the customer’s power availability will not be terminated.

DCM: Lastly, I read that your company offers financing, how does this work?
Avery: We do work with lenders that are familiar with solar powered energy. These banks will assist our customers who would like to finance the cost.
