ARCHIVED - 3 ways solar panels can improve your life-Archived

Who wouldn’t want to harness the power of the Australian sun? It’s a force to be reckoned with and solar power is already benefiting countless Australian homes. 

 

Here are three examples of how solar can work for you:

Go solar and chances are you’ll find more than one way to save. Consider adding solar panels, a solar water heater, outdoor solar lighting or even a solar blanket for your pool – the options are wide ranging. Couple this with energy efficient appliances and you could be saving money as well as energy. 

Solar panels can reward you with savings on your next bill and, depending on the system and your home’s usage, possibly even a credit. 

It’s important to ensure your solar panels are properly maintained to keep them efficient and effective. But the good news is – it’s an easy task. There are no moving parts that can break or rust, which means no ongoing repair work and no costly maintenance bills. 

As long as you keep your panels clean you’ll be fine. A little water from the garden hose should suffice to wash away the usual dust particles that form. However, if the build-up is greater you’ll find soapy water helpful. 

If you decide to move on, your home will be an attractive sell with solar installed. Buyers may offer a higher price knowing they can save on power. Not only will you be reducing your energy use, but it could also help increase the value of your property.

You’ll be so happy with your new solar lifestyle that when it comes time to move you’ll be keen to find a new home with solar already installed. 

 

To make the most of solar in your home, take time to consider the options and choose the right solar plan for you.
