Many homeowners think that switching to solar is an expense they can’t afford, especially if they’re in, or are approaching their twilight years, and don’t feel as if they’ll reap the true long-term rewards. This can deter many from investing in a solar system, despite knowing how much money it can save them in electricity costs.
However, solar systems don’t have to be super expensive, and there are tax breaks and incentives in many states that make it much more affordable. Not only that, but many companies also offer financing and loan options with little to no upfront cost at all. This means that no matter your age, you can still afford to make the switch to solar and enjoy the benefit of reduced utility bills every month. In some instances, it’s possible even to eliminate utility bills in their entirety, especially if a homeowner invests in solar battery backup.
Give me an example to convince me!
Well, alright then! Let’s say you pay around $100 every month on your electricity bill. Since going solar means you now make almost all the energy that powers your home yourself, if you take out a loan to purchase a solar system and the payment is less than $100 a month, it simply makes sense to do it, no matter your age.
As well as the money saving advantages of making the switch to solar at an older age, you also get the chance to leave a valuable legacy for your children, and your grandchildren. We all know the state the planet is in right now, and that the more of us who choose to do something to reduce the use of harmful fossil fuels, such as by going solar, the better it is for the planet, and for future generations who will take our place.
So, am I too old for solar?
No, absolutely not! Solar is an investment that will profit you and future generations for many years to come, and having a solar system installed could see you make significant savings in a matter of months.
By choosing to go solar today, you’re showing the next generation how easy it is to make the kind of choices that support the planet, not act to destroy it. In taking control of your energy, you’re saying no to dictatorlike power companies, saying yes to reduced (or eliminated) electricity bills, and an even bigger yes to a healthier planet that will be around for future generations to enjoy!
