Benefits of Solar Energy

Changing the world, one panel at a time…
What is Solar Energy?
Solar energy is one of the fastest
growing and environmentally
sustainable trends in renewable
energy.
Light and heat from the sun is
converted into electricity using
photovoltaic (PV) solar panels
installed on the roof.
Energy efficient homes and
businesses know that solar energy
is a smart investment that will
benefit them in the long run.

Advantages of Solar Energy Pt. 1
Solar powered homes and
commercial buildings do not need to
worry about many of the things
standard electricity run places do.
Some of the advantages include:
• Lowered utility costs: Solar powered
homes and buildings typically
receive a reduced utility bill of at
least 40-80%.
• Increased property value: It’s
estimated that a solar powered
property has an increased Year 1
value of $18,000.
• Government rebates: Many
government agencies offer
generous incentives for homes and
businesses to install solar systems.

Did You Know….?
It’s estimated that electricity bills
have gone up almost 30% over
It
the last 5 years. That rate will
continue to increase annually by
9% in certain areas.

Advantages of Solar Energy Pt. 2
• Long lifetime: Solar energy systems
have a 25 year warranty, but can last
40+ years with occasional
maintenance.
• Sustainable energy: The sun is an
infinite natural source of energy.
Unlike fossil fuels it will never run out.
• Solar energy credits: When you
produce more energy than you need,
the utility company will buy back the
unused energy for credits.
• No carbon footprint: Solar systems
produce zero emissions (gasses,
smoke) or chemical byproduct.
• Creates new jobs: The solar industry
has created over 100,000 new
domestic jobs.

Solar energy systems are
customizable to the sizes and
needs of each home or building.

Affordability (Residential)
One of the biggest draws of a solar energy system is its high return of interest.
Yet many homeowners feel discouraged to invest in a system because of the
initial installation fees. However, what many don’t know are the Solar Lease
specials available to help them. Compare below the differences between
purchasing a solar system and financing one.

• Pay upfront
• No monthly payments
• Want to manage a
solar electric system on
your own
• 10 years of repairs and
24/7 monitoring
• Eligible for government
rebates and credits
• Increases home value

Solar Lease

*Will depend on your FICO scores

Affordability (Commercial)
Businesses can take advantage of the same great benefits that homeowners
have. As with residential homes, commercial buildings have the option to buy
their systems or finance them with a Solar Energy Commercial Lease. Both will
allow businesses to take advantage of the reliability and long term affordability
of solar energy.

Installation Process
Before the process begins a Skytech
Solar consultant will guide you through
the options and details of installation.
Afterwards your roof and
neighborhood will be surveyed to
make sure there will be no issues with
safety.
Actual installation time will depend on
the size of the roof and if additional
precautions need to be taken.
Our team will work with you to find the
best and most affordable option so
that you may enjoy your solar energy
system as soon as possible.

Quiz (True or False)
1. Solar panels do not produce energy when it’s cloudy or foggy.
False: While your energy production is tied to sunlight, even when it’s cloudy or
foggy you will be able to produce energy just at a slightly smaller rate.

2. When I use solar energy I will still maintain a relationship with the
utility company.
True: When you use solar, you will still receive a bill from the utility company.

During the days when your system produces more energy than you are
using, that energy will be “absorbed” by the utility company using a net
metering system. The utility company will then give you Solar Energy Credits for
the surplus. When you use more energy than you are producing you will use the
credits to receive energy from utility company’s electric grid.

3. Solar energy systems are expensive and are unreliable.
False: There are many local, federal and state incentives, as well as financing

options available for businesses, homeowners and low income families. Systems
are on average paid off in less than 10 years. They come with a 25 year
warranty and can last for over 40 years.
