Did you know the energy which the sun provides to the earth for one hour could meet the global energy needs for one year?

Undoubtedly, the sun is a powerful energy source, and even though not able to collect a fraction of this energy, harnessing this power by installing solar panels can make a significant difference to the planet and in your home or office. While it has been widely criticised for being expensive or inefficient, solar energy has proved to be extremely beneficial – not only for the environment but also for private economy.

Going solar can be a home improvement that keeps on giving…

Most people like you already think of solar power as a sound idea: to capture abundant and free sunlight and turn it into energy, saving on electric bills and waste fewer natural resources at the same time. You and the planet wins.

Solar is a fantastic idea…

If you have a roof that faces south, southeast or southwest, solar is probably a good option, but if your roof is more than 20% shaded, you may need a ground-mounted system. Even if you’re in an area with many cloudy days you could still benefit from solar, since systems can capture sunlight scattered by clouds or humidity, not just direct sunlight. Also, solar panels can work even more efficiently in colder temperatures if the installer knows how to direct the panels right.

So the amount of money you can save by harnessing the power of the sun essentially boils down to how you pay for the system, how your home is set up where you live, your current energy usage, how you finance the system, and how long you plan on staying in the home.
