Give the Gift of Solar This Holiday Season

The holiday season is upon us, and you may be struggling to find the perfect give for that loved one who has everything. Here’s an idea that you may not have considered before. By purchasing a home solar panel system as a gift, you’ll bring holiday happiness that will last for years to come. You’ll not only help the environment; you’ll help your loved one’s bottom line! Here’s why this gift should be a top consideration for 2021.

Why You Should Purchase a Solar Panel System as a Gift

Solar energy is trending in 2021 as one of the most affordable renewable energy sources. The environment gets greener and cleaner when a home solar panel system is installed. When you buy solar panels as a holiday gift, you and your loved one will gain tax credit benefits, they’ll see an increase in property valuation, reduced monthly utility bills, and an inexhaustible source of clean energy. If they reside in Arizona, they can take advantage of 300 sunny days a year. So, this thoughtful gift keeps on giving for decades!

Power Grid

By gifting solar panels, your loved one will reduce their dependence on the national power grid. They will not be locked into only one option for powering their home. Solar panels offer them the ability to take control of their energy choices by using solar energy to run their home during the day and pulling electricity from the grid at night, on cloudy days, and during times of high energy use. By switching to solar, grid usage can decline rapidly as can monthly utility bills. It’s really that simple.

Home Value

Installing solar panels is great, not only for energy savings, but also as a way to increase a home’s resale value. Studies have shown that for every dollar gained in energy savings from installing a solar panel system, $20 is added to the home’s valuation. Plus, homes with solar panel systems can sell over 20% faster than those homes without solar panels.

Worry-Free Maintenance

Solar panels are easy to maintain as they’re manufactured to withstand all types of weather conditions from dust storms to wind, hail, and snow. Plus, they can be easily cleaned and visually inspected. Additionally, panels come with 25-to-35-year warranties, meaning no out-of-pocket expenses for maintenance or repairs.
