5 Things I Never Knew Before I Went Solar

1. Solar is So Much More Efficient Than I Realized

Before I went solar, I had no idea how efficient solar panels could be. Modern solar technology has advanced significantly, making it possible to convert a substantial amount of sunlight into electricity. This means that even on cloudy days, my solar panels are still producing energy, albeit at a reduced rate. The efficiency of solar panels has made a significant impact on reducing my utility bills and carbon footprint.

When I imagined going solar, I didn't realize that they were going to put sleek, black panels on my roof, or that the whole installation would be done in two days. I didn't think the batteries would be so sleek, or so useful! We were able to offset all of our energy usage, and it looks far nicer than I had expected.

2. Going Solar Was So Much Easier Than I Expected

I always thought that installing a solar system would be a long, complicated process. However, the reality was far from it. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the process was straightforward and stress-free. Kevin Greene Solar took care of everything, including permits, inspections, and paperwork, making the transition to solar power seamless and hassle-free.

Even better, we had our own personal guide to the solar process, with Kevin and his team taking care of every detail. We could (and did!) reach out any time, and Kevin Greene Solar made sure that our every need was met, and every question satisfied. No stress, no problems - everything went so much easier than I thought it would.

3. Having a Solar System Made Me So Much More Aware of My Energy Usage

Once my solar panels were installed, I became much more conscious of my energy consumption. Monitoring my energy usage became a daily habit, helping me identify patterns and areas where I could cut back. This newfound awareness not only helps me save money but also contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle.

This is not to say I am miserly with power - far from it! Like most people who make the switch to solar, I have found myself using more electricity, because the price is negligible. But now I do everything power intensive in the middle of the day, when the sun is shining, because I have infinite power whenever there is direct sunlight hitting my roof.

It feels nice, living with the sun.

4. Solar Energy is Literally Free Money Hitting My House All the Time

One of the most surprising things I learned is that solar energy is essentially free money. With the sun shining on my panels, I'm generating electricity that I would otherwise have to pay for. Any excess energy produced is often sold back to the grid, further reducing my overall energy costs. It's a great feeling to know that I'm benefiting financially from a renewable energy source that was already hitting my roof!

I used to get angry about really hot sunny days, because I would spend a fortune on air conditioning. Now? Free sky money. Totally new mindset. Love the new me,

5. Having a Solar System Makes Me Irrationally Proud of My House

There's a unique sense of pride that comes with having a solar system. Knowing that my home is equipped with cutting-edge technology that supports renewable energy gives me immense satisfaction. It's not just about the financial savings; it's also about contributing to a cleaner environment and setting an example for others in my community.

I made a great decision, and everyone can see it. I am probably insufferable, but have you heard that you can make money from the sunlight hitting your house all the time?
