An Affordable Energy Solution

It’s a common misconception that solar power is prohibitively expensive. The reality is far from it. Over the past decade, the cost of solar panels has plummeted, making solar an affordable energy option for homeowners[1]. Momentum Solar takes this affordability a step further. We offer custom solar plans, uniquely tailored to your home’s energy needs and your budget.

There are also many ways to save through governmental incentives. One major way is through the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), a federal incentive that allows homeowners to deduct a portion of their solar costs from their taxes. These deductions significantly reduce the overall cost of a solar installation, making it a more affordable option for many. Additionally, many states offer their own incentives, which can include grants, loans or rebates. These programs are designed to encourage the adoption of renewable energy and make the switch to solar even more attractive.

Keep More Money in Your Pocket

One significant advantage of switching to solar is the substantial savings on utility bills [3]. Solar panels enable homeowners to generate their own electricity, reducing their dependence on the grid. This self-sufficiency translates to lower energy bills — a benefit you’ll enjoy as long as your panels are soaking up the sun.

Embracing solar power not only cuts down hefty utility bills but also paves the way toward financial liberty, affording homeowners just like you extra time and resources to indulge in the activities they relish. By making this prudent choice, you’re also investing in a sustainable tomorrow, shaping a healthier and more prosperous world for forthcoming generations.

Boost Your Home’s Value

Solar power doesn’t just save you money — it can help make you money, too. Installing solar panels often increases your home’s value. Houses equipped with solar power systems tend to sell faster and at higher prices. This means investing in solar is not only beneficial for the environment but also a savvy real estate move.

Stay Powered During Storms

With climate change causing increasingly severe weather patterns, power outages have become a real concern for homeowners from coast to coast. Solar power offers a solution. Solar panels, combined with battery storage, can provide a dependable source of electricity even when the grid goes down [5]. With Momentum Solar’s partnership with Enphase, you can enjoy uninterrupted power, giving you peace of mind during stormy weather.

Preserve the Environment for Future Generations

The environmental benefits of solar power are clear and crucial. By converting sunlight into electricity, solar panels produce clean, green energy, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels [4]. This shift helps combat climate change and air pollution, preserving our planet for future generations.

Getting solar panels to cover even just a small amount of your energy output can greatly impact our environment. In 2020, the average American household had 621 lbs of CO2 emissions from running their refrigerators alone [6]. With just the power of your refrigerator, you could charge your smartphone over 34,000 times [7].

Your Investment Pays Off: The Financial Benefits of Solar Power

Installing solar panels in your home isn’t a one-off financial move—it’s an investment that often pays off. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, solar power systems can save homeowners significant amounts of money in the long run. The upfront costs are usually recouped within seven to eight years and the subsequent years of service are almost pure savings [1].

In addition to the savings on energy bills, solar panels can increase your property value. Studies indicate homes with solar installations sell quicker and often at a higher price than homes without solar panels [2]. In an estimate shared by Forbes, “every dollar that a solar panel saves you on your electrical bills increases the value of your home by $20” [5].

The Investment Tax Credit (ITC), also known as the federal solar tax credit, plays a pivotal role in making solar power more affordable for homeowners in the United States. This substantial financial benefit allows homeowners to deduct a significant portion of their solar installation costs from their federal taxes. The solar ITC underscores the commitment of the U.S. government to promote renewable energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. 

By taking advantage of the ITC, homeowners can further increase their savings, making the decision to switch to solar power even more financially appealing. Want to learn more? Call us today at 1-888-MOMENTUM to discover the sunny savings!

Sustainable Power: Solar and Environmental Preservation

The benefits of solar power go beyond financial. The adoption of solar power is a clear stance in favor of environmental preservation. Solar panels harness sunlight, an abundant and renewable resource, to produce electricity. This process reduces our reliance on fossil fuels, subsequently reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a key contributor to global warming [3].

Choosing solar energy is a powerful decision and helps combat climate change, one of the most pressing issues of our time. By going solar, you play your part in ensuring a healthier planet for future generations.

Community Transformation: The Wider Impact of Solar Power

The benefits of solar energy radiate beyond individual homes—it transforms communities. Solar power creates local jobs, supports the micro economies and enhances energy independence and resilience. As more communities embrace solar, they contribute to a broader shift towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future [4].
