Saving energy and money! | David Nettles

Introduction

As we've just experienced during the recent hurricane, many individuals and businesses relied on different sources of power to maintain their energy needs. Generator power and solar power emerged as popular alternatives during this time.

If you have solar panels installed on your home - whether to charge your electric vehicle (EV) or to reduce your dependence on grid power - you're tapping into a sustainable energy source. Solar panels can significantly offset your energy consumption, making a noticeable impact on your utility bills.

In a recent case, we observed a mini warehouse with approximately half a million square feet of space that has solar panels installed on its roof. These panels not only provide power for the facility but also allow the owners to sell excess energy back to the grid. This dual benefit of solar energy showcases its efficiency and economic advantages.

Moreover, for those considering alternative energy solutions, there’s a potential financial incentive to take into account. In many areas, property tax exemptions are available for solar panels and other alternative energy systems installed on your property. This means that not only can you save on your energy costs, but you can also enjoy tax benefits, making the decision to invest in solar energy even more appealing.

Adopting energy-efficient measures like solar power not only helps sustain your household or business during emergencies but also contributes to a more sustainable future.
