Phoenix Solar Panels: Are They Right For You
You would think that in a desert state like Phoenix solar panels would be visible on most residential homes. The technology of solar energy was a great breakthrough. Electricity being generated from the sun will help with the Global Warming problem we are facing today.
Utility companies are promoting solar panels by telling us that in the long run we will save money. Using the sun to generate electricity for our homes will lower your monthly bills. Energy saved in the summer months will help alleviate the higher monthly bills in the winter months.
When I think of Phoenix, I imagine a scorching sun beating down on dry, cracked terrain. If this is the case then people in Phoenix should never have to buy electricity, wouldn’t you think? However there are very few homes in Phoenix that have installed solar panels on their homes.
The government offered tax credits to residents to participate in the program, but the cost even with the tax credit was more than most of the populace can afford. It is the cost of the panels that has kept the installations to a minimum in most areas. The larger companies are the ones who are taking advantage of this technology. But then they can afford to put out that kind of money.
Even though you pay a lot of money for these panels they still require maintenance. They are prone to cracking. They tend to work better in cooler, sunny weather than in extremely hot locations.
Arizona’s utility company is getting on the band wagon. They are offering free solar panel installation to a small number of customers to entice other customers in the future. Renewable energy requirements are not being met and this project will help them meet their goals.
