It’s almost July.

Your energy bills are climbing.

And you realize with all the time you’re spending inside due to COVID-19, the electric bills are going to be higher this year.

So what can you do to lower your energy bills this summer?

The most effective way to reduce your electricity bill is to consider your energy source.

If you’re using traditional forms of energy, rates can change on a dime. And oftentimes grow even higher during the summer months. But residential solar energy system rates stay the same, no matter what time of year it is.

If you’re new to solar, and want to learn the basics, read on! We’ve put together the complete beginners guide to solar energy in your home.

First thing’s first — how does solar energy work?

In a nutshell, solar panels create energy by converting sunlight into electricity. The energy harnessed by the solar panels counts against the energy used by your electric company. This is called Net Metering.

This means your energy bill will drop, especially during the summer months.

Next, we need solar panels. But where do they go?

Solar panels are typically installed on your roof. They can also be free-standing in your yard. The location of the panels depends on state to state, so it’s a good idea to check with a licensed solar consultant to show you the best place for installation.

Solar Me can give you a customized solar plan within 24 hours!

Okay great… But will solar panels damage my roof?

Not if they’re installed by a licensed professional! If you go the DIY route, and install solar panels on your home by yourself, you’re much more likely to damage your roof. This is an expensive mistake to make, and can cost thousands of dollars. So contact companies like Solar Me to help you with this.

We have a great promotion for 0 down and 0% interest, with no payments for 8 months!

So how much will it cost to install solar panels on my home?

That depends on your home, your energy usage, and most importantly, your state. Most states have tax incentives available, which can drastically lessen the cost of going solar. But every state has different solar tax incentives.

How durable are solar panels?

They are very durable! Much like the post office motto, neither rain nor sleet will damage your solar panel. They also withstand extreme temperatures and winds, so your panels will be safe every month of the year.

Should I lease or own solar panels?

We think owning solar panels is the best choice, because leasing panels only saves you money in the short term. When you own panels, they increase the value of your home. And homes with solar panels often sell more quickly. Solar Me makes the process of buying your panels simple and easy.

Okay, be honest…. Do solar panels actually help the planet?

Yes, and in more ways than one! Solar energy relies on a renewable energy source (the sun), and doesn’t produce any hazardous chemicals. Fossil fuels however, are expensive to produce, and pull from a finite resource. They produce hazardous emissions and contribute to water pollution.

So not only does solar reduce your carbon footprint at home, it positively impacts the earth on a global scale.

That’s awesome! So how do I get solar energy in my home?
