Five Reasons to Love Solar Power This Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to think about love. At Cool Blew Solar, we love solar power for many reasons, and we think you’ll love it too. So, exactly how do we love solar? Let us count the ways:

1. Solar Is a Free Source of Energy

Life would simply not be possible without the heat and light of the sun. The sun is a free source of energy that is available, accessible, and unlimited. That’s a stark contrast to fossil fuels that require considerable work to derive and convert.

2. Solar Is Great for the Environment

Solar power doesn’t generate harmful emissions that damage the environment. Unlike fossil fuels, solar power is undeniably clean, renewable and reliable for your home or business.

3. Solar PV Systems Are Durable

Because solar PV systems have no moving parts, they’re incredibly durable and long-lasting. Built to withstand high winds, relentless heat, and other extreme weather conditions, solar panels can be expected to last for 30 years or longer, enabling you to get significant return on your investment for decades.

4. Solar Is Stable

They say that the only certainties in life are death and taxes. We’d like to add electricity rate hikes to that list. It’s inevitable that your electricity bill will continue to climb, but by how much? It’s a gamble that you’ll take by maintaining reliance on the utility company. In contrast, with a solar PV system, you will lock in your monthly costs until your system is paid off. After that, you’ll have little to no costs at all. It’s a natural hedge against unpredictability.

5. Solar Helps the Economy

Solar doesn’t just help the environment and lower your monthly costs. It is also a measurable job creator that can help improve your local economy. By going solar, you’re helping to create millions of jobs in the renewable energy sector.
