Solar energy isn’t worth it. Solar panels cost more than they save. Only hippies use renewable energy.

Aliens can hijack your solar panels! 👽

We’ve heard every myth in the book (well, almost… the alien one is new on us). And a lot of people still ask us what’s real and what’s fake. So we pulled out our research books, put pen to paper, and debunked the top five solar energy myths (so you don’t have to).

Solar Energy Myth #1 - Solar panels are too expensive.

Nothing could be further from the truth! Yes, solar panels are an investment. But it’s an investment that creates ways to cut costs, qualify for rebates, and receive great tax incentives.

Between federal and state programs, as well as payment plans and loan options, you can still end up putting a big dent in your energy expenses by making the switch to solar.

Solar Energy Myth #2 - Solar panels don’t work when it’s cloudy.

Are solar panels less effective in cities with more “liquid sunshine”? How can solar panels get energy on a cloudy day? It turns out that most places in the United States will see up to 250 days of sun a year. And even on cloudy days, your solar panels will still get a charge through the grey!

Solar Me can install your solar panels to get the most sun exposure possible.

Solar Energy Myth #3 - You’ll never make your money back on a solar panel investment.

It’s pretty unlikely that you wouldn’t see some kind of saving with solar. Not only will solar panels decrease energy bills every month, you’ll also be able to sell your home for a higher asking price than comparable homes without solar panels.

Homeowners know that green energy saves money over time. So homes with solar panels usually sell more quickly and for more money.

If budget is a concern for you, we’re offering $0 down and 0% interest for the month of June. And we’ll pay for the first 8 months of your solar installation plan!

Solar Energy Myth #4 - The solar industry only creates jobs in China.

False! The solar industry is actually one of the leaders in job creation for the US market. According to The Solar Foundation, “The U.S. solar industry now employs nearly 250,000 workers… between 2014 and 2019, solar employment increased 44%, five times faster than job growth in the overall U.S. economy.”

We’re proud to be a part of this booming workforce, and are glad to know our efforts support our local community.

Solar Energy Myth #5 - Solar panels are unreliable.

Remember those videos of the indestructible sunglasses? The ones where the sunglasses are thrown in the river, driven over by a car, stepped on, and still manage to be scratch free? Your trusty solar panels will be the same, and then some.

We use the best solar panels in the industry to ensure that your panels can handle every kind of weather.

Still not convinced? Check out this product video our panel manufacturer did on the panels we use.

To sum up, when you use Solar Me to start a solar plan, you’re investing in a reliable form of energy - one that’s good for the environment, good for your wallet, and great for your home.
