How Solar Could Benefit Your Home

Katelyn Lewis • January 25, 2023

Why put solar panels on your home?

Benefits of solar

Here's how solar may benefit you: 


Increase Your Home's Value. Adding solar panels to your home can be an attractive, and therefore more enticing, home investment. More and more homebuyers want to purchase energy-efficient homes, so having solar panels installed will increase your property's value if and when you eventually sell your home.


Save On Your Utility Bills. Adding solar to your home can significantly reduce, if not eliminate, your monthly electric bill. Depending on the amount of solar cells and prime location available on your roofline, solar panels can create enough electricity to power your entire household.


Lower Your Income Tax For 2023. The U.S. federal government is incentivizing homeowners to add solar to their homes in the form of tax credits. While you'll have to pay the upfront costs for installing the panels, you'll receive tax credits for up to 40% of your solar panel project.


Have A Reliable Energy Source. You no longer will have to rely on traditional, non-renewable power sources. You'll never run out of power as long as the sun's shining, bringing you a consistent power supply without fear of power outages.


Reduce Your Carbon Footprint. Using the sun to power your home not only saves you money, but also is better for the environment – especially when compared with other, non-renewable sources of energy. Installing a home solar system is a great step to decrease your home's environmental pollution, creating a cleaner, healthier atmosphere for you, your family, and those around you.


Retex Roofing & Exteriors is now offering solar panel services. During our visit with you, we complete a complimentary energy assessment of your home to see if it's a prime candidate for adding solar. And, with our extensive roofing knowledge, you can rest easy knowing your roof and home are in good hands.
