Advantages of Going Solar in California
As a San Diego Roofing Contractor who is primarily working outside, we see about 260 days of sunshine here annually. That’s a lot of solar energy that could be saving you money over time, despite the initial costs up front, not to mention the friendly renewable energy incentives that are available in California. In this article, we’ll discuss a few beneficial reasons to make the switch over to solar if you’re still on the fence about whether its worth the investment.
The main reason people choose to go solar is the huge savings it can bring to your wallet. Energy costs can be reduced to almost zero monthly, and in some cases below zero in part to California’s exceptionally generous net-metering laws. If your energy production is more than you’re consuming from the public grid then you’ll be issued a credit to your bill from the energy company. This is HUGE! As energy rates soar over time, you’ll discover that solar can save you hundreds and even thousands per year.
As we become more focused on the impacts of our carbon footprint and its effect on our planet, renewable energy just makes more and more sense. The overwhelming majority of power that is made throughout the world is still produced by burning fossil fuels that pollute the air and atmosphere, making these finite resources more valuable and expensive. By making the switch to solar power you’ll be reducing your energy dependency on fossil fuels, contributing to lower amounts of smog, lower emissions, and a healthier planet for all!
Every home or business that is powered with renewable solar energy helps decrease the overall stress on the electrical grid, particularly during those high volume times which will help lower the overall chances of a brown out or blackout. The energy that you’d be consuming from the grid is now available for someone else, so in areas where there are a large number of solar customers, there have been significantly lower issues with power outages and rolling brownouts. It’s a win-win situation.
Now is an excellent time to go solar but it’s unfortunately beyond the scope of practice for the average San Diego roofer, just as roofing is for most solar companies, but not us. Trust us when we say it is in your benefit to choose a company that specializes in both of these services to reduce potential damages to either component. We’re the only San Diego Roofing company in the county that is licensed in roofing, solar, and general contracting. Call us today for more information (619) 561-3110.
