4 Reasons to Go Solar!

 Many homeowners and business owners are looking to solar energy. Solar energy is becoming increasingly more popular and for a good reason! If you've been considering installing solar, Catalyst Electric is your local solar energy resource. Read on to find out four reasons you should consider installing solar at the Lake of the Ozarks! 

1. Renewable Energy Source

One of the top reasons why Solar Energy is becoming an ever more prevalent form of energy is due to the fact that it is renewable and widely accessible. Solar power can be tapped into from practically any area of the world. Which makes it a reliable source of energy for any purpose. If you have sunlight, you have power (and as long as the sun has been around, I’d say that’s a pretty safe bet). Solar energy is also great because it leaves less of a footprint on the earth than some of the more conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels, coal, oil, and natural gas. Solar energy is by far the cleanest energy source available.

2. Reduce Electric Bill

Saving money is also a big factor in going Solar. Who couldn’t use a few extra bucks in hand? Solar Energy is proven to reduce your electric bill. The amount saved is variable for each user and is dependent on the size of your solar system in conjunction with the amount of electricity usage at the

location. In addition to saving money, there is another benefit… the potential to EARN money from your solar energy generation. Some industries are paying individuals or businesses who have surplus energy generation, to opt to direct the energy back into the grid (if hooked up to one). Furthering the benefit to your wallet.

3. Technology Development

Solar Energy has been utilized since the 7th Century B.C. and as you can imagine has made huge technological advancements since then. The first Photovoltaic technology in the US was developed in 1954. The silicon photovoltaic cell was the first to harness the sun's energy and convert enough of it to power everyday electric equipment (according to eere.energy.gov).  This event assisted the road mapping to the future implementation of solar energies into everyday use. We are now technologically advanced enough to use solar panels to harness enough energy from the sun to power entire homes or facilities and with continued advancement in quantum physics and nanotechnology, the sky is the limit. 

4. Low Maintenance Costs

Back to saving you money. Maintenance costs for installed solar panels are negligible. Most typically come with a 25 Year Warranty and have an average life of 25-30 years. Essentially you are under a lifetime warranty and with technological advancements in the industry you are going to see efficiency increase and costs reduced. What’s not to love here? Talk about low maintenance… solar panels are practically self-cleaning, dust, snow and other light materials that may cover the panels will simply wash away when melted or rained on. One less thing for you to have to worry about, all while saving money.
