Regardless of the credit crunch and the recession, the fact is that installing solar power for homes is cheaper than ever. So now is the time to really take a look.

In recent articles we discussed how to source extremely low cost solar power for homes and even how to get solar power for homes for FREE!

Many state governments are currently offering tax rebates to people who choose to convert to solar power for homes.

But the question is, “WHY?” Why would I want to go to the trouble of installing a solar power for homes system?

To address that, here are seven magnificent reasons why building your own solar power system makes the best possible sense!

1. It reduces your electricity costs to ZERO!

Whatever your monthly electricity bill is, take three quarters off it. Hundreds of dollars a month makes thousands of dollars a year. All that money is being saved every month for the rest of your life. It just can’t get any better than that!

2. Save the planet for our children

As things stand, our environment is screwed. Unless people take a stand, there will be next to nothing left of this planet very soon. If it’s not your children who will suffer, it will be your grandchildren unless you (yes … YOU!) take it upon yourself to be the change you want to see in the world.

3. It’s rewarding and fun

Make it a family weekend project and have lots of fun building your own solar power system. Some of these solar power for homes systems can be built for under $200. Invite your close friends and family over for the week-end. Not only will everyone enjoy themselves. They will all see how easy and low-cost installing solar power for homes can be.

4. True freedom

True freedom is not being reliant on anyone or anything to have the life that you want. Installing solar power for homes could mean going completely off-grid. If so, then you can claim your right to that level of freedom for yourself and your family. Lots of people are doing it. Want to join them? With rising energy prices and impending environmental disaster, doesn’t it just make perfect sense?

5. Surplus solar power saves you even more money

If you generate more solar energy than you are using, many electric companies agree to offer you’re the wholesale price if you feed it back into their energy grid. Because they only payback up to the level of the bill you have with them, they will never actually ‘pay you’ for that surplus, but it will come off your bill. Any excess on top of that, they keep. Never the less, there is a special feeling you get when you see your meter going backwards!

6.  Next to no maintenance

Solar panels were first tried out 30 years ago. Most of those panels are still working today! So you can see that there is next to no maintenance cost to running solar power for homes.  In fact, solar power for homes systems are practically maintenance-free and they have a lifespan of decades. They are more silent than you own little baby. They have no moving parts and they don’t need you to refill them ever. The sun does that for you!

7. The value of your home will soar

By installing a solar power for homes system, not only will you increase the value of your home by thousands of dollars. Your home will instantly become so much more sellable. Imagine what the prospective purchaser will think when you tell them that they wont have any electric bill if they choose this house! It’s a no-brainer for them, so you sell the house quick and move to your next place (where you can install another solar power for homes system and do it all again!

Converting to solar power for homes is a wise investment. You will enjoy the benefits over time. All that and you are reducing your carbon footprint by installing solar power for homes.
