Experience the Numerous Benefits of Solar Energy

The benefits of switching to solar energy are abundant! Imagine saving money while also helping the environment. Essentially, there are zero disadvantages when you consider how southern New Mexico and west Texas are the perfect landscapes for solar energy.

When you make the switch, you’ll be able to reap the following benefits:

• Help Our Environment. Contrary to traditional means of producing energy, solar power uses natural resources to create clean, renewable energy. It reduces the carbon footprint thus positively impacting the future of our planet. Every home or business who makes the switch severely impacts the ability for the world to limit the need for greenhouse gas emission and fossil fuels.
• Save Money. More sun equals more money. Given the extensive amount of sun this part of the country sees throughout the year, your potential to save is much greater. The savings on your monthly energy bill could easily be in the hundreds.
• Receive Incentives From the Government. In 2016, Congress extended the solar panel tax credit, which has made solar power more affordable and gives owners a big incentive. The federal solar tax credit or investment tax credit (ITC) allows home and business owners to deduct 30 percent of their cost of installation from their federal taxes. In 2017, the average saving was $5,000. The tax credit will remain at 30 percent until 2019.
• Increase the Value of Your Home. Today’s real estate trends show that many homebuyers are indeed willing to pay more for a home if it has solar panels. The tax incentives, monthly savings in energy bills, and the overall investment of these systems are what drive buyers to be more confident in the sale.
• Take Pleasure in Low Maintenance. A Solar Smart Living installed solar system requires no maintenance and there is no labor charge in the rare event that it did. With no moving parts, you can be secure knowing you won’t run into any major damage. Solar Smart Living will ensure your system is performing at its highest standards.

Requirements — How to Prepare for Solar Panels

The excitement of switching to solar should come with eagerness and curiosity. As you prepare to have solar panels installed by the professionals at Solar Smart Living, there are a few steps to take in order to have a smooth and efficient transition.

Here’s how to best prepare for the installation of solar panels:

• Evaluate your home or business’ energy needs. This is where we step in! First, we will request the latest copy of your electric bill. Then we will examine your home or commercial business’ use of energy. This includes all appliances, electronics, lighting, heating and cooling, and any other systems that require power. In doing so, you’ll have a better understanding of how much you’ll be reducing your use of electricity.
• Explore your location’s options for going solar. Most homes in the Southwest desert are ideal for solar panels but there could be exterior barriers that will need adjustment. This includes large trees or other outdoor objects that would prevent sunlight from hitting the top of the building’s roof. We will also need to explore whether your neighborhood or homeowner association has any restrictions on installation. Not to worry! We can help answer these and other questions.
• Does your roof support solar panels? If your roof is old or requires any maintenance, you’ll need to consider making those changes in order to safely support the installation of the panels. Don’t worry, we will get you competitive roofing quotes for you to review.
• Receive a permit and review other necessary documentation. As a licensed electrical contractor in Texas and New Mexico we will assess your home or business to make sure it meets the electrical code. Solar Smart Living will obtain all necessary documentation prior to the start of your project.
