Solar panels are an excellent investment, but they require some precise measurements, installation, and some initial research. For instance, you’ll want to know exactly where these panels could best be positioned before setting them up. And also, depending on the type of roof you have on your house or garage, solar panels might require a separate kind of installation.
All of these things can be completed by our team, but we think many of our curious customers would like a breakdown on why winter is one of the best times to get solar panel installations, and why they’re so great for residential customers.
Things might change in the future, which is why you might want to act quickly to take advantage of tax credits, rebates, and other incentives that are currently available. By calling our team for Solar in Bellingham, WA, you can get up to $10,000 off a solar panel installation by qualifying for certain tax credits and rebates!
Less Sun Means Time to Prepare
It’s pretty obvious to anyone who took a high school-level astronomy course that the earth revolves around the sun. This is primarily how we count the years and tell the seasons apart, since the earth rotates on its axis and gets more or less sunlight depending on its position. However, this can impact solar installations and give the industry a bit of an “ebb and flow.”
For instance, winter is darker than summer, with only a limited amount of sunlight per day, whereas summer has longer days with plenty of solar energy to capture. This means that winter is the perfect time to invest in a solar panel installation because, by the time it’s set up, it’ll be springtime and you’ll be ready to harness that energy!
Take advantage of the lower solar output now by getting the hard work out of the way. Come summer, you’ll be in the perfect position to soak up all that free energy during those long days.
Incentives Right Now
Another reason why winter is the best time to invest in solar energy is because of federal and state changes. New government switch-ups are likely to take place this year during the spring which means certain incentives might expire or be phased out. It’s unclear about what’s going to happen, but for now, many of the tax credits and rebates that are available are still there.
We implore all of our customers to take advantage of as much of these incentives as they can before it’s too late. Work with our team of experts to learn about the different ways to save.
The Benefits of Solar Energy
If you can use this winter to get solar panels set up, you can gain access to free, unlimited energy produced by the sun on a regular basis. Our area is also uniquely great for solar power generation, because we get all four seasons and plenty of access to the sun.
This energy can power your HVAC system, all of your electronics, and even charge your car if you’ve got an EV, all for the price of the initial installation and maintenance of the panels. Everything else is completely free!
