The Benefits of Solar Power

(and how the government will pay for a huge chunk of it)

One of the standout advantages of solar power is how much money you’ll save per month. Average monthly cost savings on your electric vary between $50 and $60, according to the MIT School of Engineering.

Think about that in terms of our 25-year solar lifespan:

Over 25 years, you could save anywhere between $15,000 and $18,000.

The benefits of solar stretch far and wide

Because your home would largely become self-powering, you would become less dependent on electricity from your utility company, which generates electricity largely from the burning of coal and natural gas. Burning gas produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is partially responsible for climate change/global warming, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

By producing the majority of your home’s energy through YellowBird Solar panels, you wouldn’t be contributing to the erosion of the earth’s atmosphere and allow excessive heat to harm our planet.

By switching to solar energy, you’re helping to preserve the planet for future generations.

Think about the future prices of utility-generated electricity. Because this kind of electricity is generated by the burning of coal and natural gas, which are finite, limited resources, the encroaching shortage of these resources means their prices will go up.

And when they go up, who will have to shoulder the cost? You.

Electric companies regularly increase the cost of your electricity.

Why not get one step ahead of your electric company and start producing your own electricity? With YellowBird solar panels for your home, you’re creating a free and unlimited resource that’s reliable and ready for use.

Solar energy is also a great way to increase the value of your home. Whether you’re a flip-flopper or have been in your house for 20 years and are considering, moving, it pays to go solar. A National Bureau of Economic Research study titled “Understanding the Solar Home Price Premium: Electricity Generation and ‘Green’ Social Status” found the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on a home adds a premium of more than $20,000 to a home’s price.

With the government subsidies, the potential to save $18,000 over 25 years, the benefit to the environment and your children, and the added value to your home, there’s truly no reason not to switch to solar power with YellowBird Solar.

The value of solar power is nonpartisan, unbiased, and unaffected by personal views. The slew of benefits offered by solar power are being recognized on both sides of the aisle, so for the country’s economic sake, for your wallet’s sake, and for your children’s sake, solar should be part of your future.

Need more proof?

The federal tax credit for residential solar power expired on Dec. 31, 2016, but Congress extended the tax for five more years!

With the Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC), you can claim 30% of your solar equipment and installation costs on your federal taxes, making for even more savings from solar.

This isn’t a political matter. It’s a matter of saving you money.

And, there’s the potential to earn state-tax credits to help pay for the installation as well.

The benefits of solar power are not constrained to residential properties, as countless city governments throughout the country have adopted solar energy to power their operations.

By the end of 2014, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Indianapolis, San Jose, Honolulu, San Jose, San Antonio, Denver, New York City, New Orleans, San Francisco, Raleigh, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Newark, Austin, Portland, Oregon, Jacksonville, Boston, and Albuquerque had converted to solar power, according to EcoWatch.com.

The City of Las Cruces was also among these and by 2016, had four solar arrays installed onto government buildings in order to save the city money. Another four solar arrays were installed throughout 2016, two of which operate on net-zero—meaning the amount of energy those two buildings consume is equal to the amount of energy generated by the solar panels, according to the Las Cruces Sun-News.

That means the city doesn’t have to pay the electric company to power those two buildings.

And by 2050, the city of Las Cruces vows to be 100% dependent on solar and wind energy, creating a virtually renewable city of sustainability. It’s time you joined the cause too.

SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION COST

When you choose the Basic bundle package, you’ll pay:

$57 a month for 18 months, then use your tax credits to pay down the remainder.

When you choose the Efficient-Home bundle, you’ll pay:

$99 a month for 18 months, then use your tax credits to pay down the remainder.

When you choose the two-panel option, you’ll pay:

$29.10 a month for 18 months, after which your remainder after a $974-tax credit will be $3,496.50. You will then pay $39.99 for 126 months.

The more solar panels on your home, the more tax credits you’ll receive.

SAVING WITH SOLAR

To understand the impact solar energy can have on your monthly savings, the first thing to understand is energy consumption, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

For each rated kW, your solar panel system should generate about 100 kWh/month.
The average American home in 2016 used about 900 kWh, according to the Energy Information Administration.
To find your cost savings with solar energy, divide 900 by the kilowatt capability of one of YellowBird’s solar panel options.

Your potential savings breakdown:

YellowBird offers 4.56 kW panels. 4.56 multiplied by 100 equals 456 kWh of consumable energy. With an average electrical rate of $.11/kWh, 456 kWh would cost you about $50.16 every month. With solar, that 456 kWh would cost you nothing.

Considering that the average American home uses 900 kWh/month, your monthly electric bill would be nearly cut in half.

This example presumes that your household uses 900 kWh a month. But if you’re mindful of turning off lights as you leave rooms, unplugging small electronics when not in use, and turning the tv off when not being watched, you’ll see a significant decrease in your monthly kWh usage, and as a result, an even smaller monthly bill.

SOLAR INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

When you decide to go solar, YellowBird Solar will visit your home to take measurements of your roof, determine which areas of the roof have the most southward or westward visibility, and how the roof will be affected by shade as the day goes on.

SOLAR INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS

By calculating average energy consumption and how much you’d like to take off the grid, we can determine the panel sizing that’s best for you. Homes can be easily served by any of the sizes of panels YellowBird Solar offers—call to learn more (575) 449-2010

SOLAR INSTALLATION EFFICIENCY

There are 3 types of solar panels: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin film. YellowBird Solar uses the most efficient type, monocrystalline solar panels, which have more room to move within individual cells, generating a higher flow of electricity.

HOW SOLAR PANELS WORK

When the sun rises, your solar panels immediately start absorbing its light and convert it to direct-current (DC) energy. An inverter installed on the side of your home will convert the DC electricity to alternate current. An electrical panel will then distribute the required amount of electricity to power your home.

In the morning, as the panels are heating up, your panels are in prime absorption mode. As the morning progresses, the sun’s rays strengthen shine, energizing your panels quickly.

By the afternoon, your solar system will be working at its peak, generating an abundance of renewable energy. To best harness the power of the sun, YellowBird solar panels are often positioned facing west, or southwest, in order to catch the sun’s mid-afternoon shine. Instead of facing directly south and receiving a surge of solar energy later in the day, west-facing panels generate renewable energy earlier on in the day, when it’s more in demand.

Any energy your panels produce that your home doesn’t consume is credited back into the grid, which could mean your electric company could owe you for your energy production!

Once the sun sets, your home will be back on the electrical grid, with the option to run on the excess solar energy your home produced during the day if batteries are set up.

Remember, solar panels vary in output, and rarely ever reach full energy capacity due to the changing sunlight and climate.
