Should You Make the Switch to a Solar Panel System Before Summer?

While solar installations can take place at any time of the year, there are plenty of good reasons to consider it before the summer season hits.

1. Lower Cooling Costs

Arizona homeowners see their highest electricity bills in the summer. If you install a home solar panel system before then, you can see significant savings just as summer’s relentless heat kicks in.

2. Rising Energy Costs

Power companies are continuously finding ways to implement rate hikes. By going solar, you can keep your energy costs stable. This means that while your neighbors are dealing with ever-increasing utility bills, you’ll have a steady payment until your system is paid off. Then, you’ll likely have little or no utility costs at all.

3. Tax Credits

Congress has maintained the 26% tax credit toward the installation of solar panels throughout 2021. So, it simply makes dollars and sense to take advantage of the solar tax savings while it lasts.

4. Faster Installation

Many homeowners start considering solar when they receive that first sky-high electric bill of the summer. Contractors are at their busiest in the early summer. By making the switch in the winter or spring, you’ll gain the advantage of a faster installation. And you’ll start saving money faster, too.
