Residential

The U.S. installed 1,665 megawatts (MW) of solar PV in Q1 2016 to reach 29.3 gigawatts (GW) of total installed capacity, enough to power 5.7 million American homes. With more than 1 million individual solar installations nationwide, the industry is on pace to nearly double in size in 2016. The residential solar market remained strong, with a fourth consecutive quarter with more than 500 MW of capacity brought online.
Why does solar suddenly seem so popular?

It’s straightforward – it’s all about saving money and becoming a part of a global solution. The cost of solar panels have decreased by 70% since 2010. This makes solar more affordable than ever. A few years ago, several large financing operations introduced solar leases for little to no money down. This essentially allowed you to buy clean energy from the lease company for slightly less than you were buying dirty energy from the utility company.

As prices have fallen even farther, there’s a new way to put solar on your home without having to lease your system. Sky Energy’s Zero Down Financing Options allows Homeowners to pay for their system on a monthly basis with the same money that they would have given to their utility company. The Fact Is: You’re already buying the most expensive Solar Generator on the market, you’re just not receiving any of the benefits! Solar pays for itself with the money that it saves.

The environmental savings for solar power is also quite staggering. When an average family Goes Solar, they are also reducing up to 8000 pounds of CO2 emissions over the next year. This means that over the next two decades your solar decision could reduce your family’s carbon footprint to the same degree as a car driving over 350,000 miles. Or 166 tonnes of greenhouse emissions that would otherwise find their way into your environment. Solar energy is entirely renewable and protects our natural resources by eliminating the need for us to use non-renewable resources to produce electricity.
With the abundant benefits of using solar energy, it just makes sense to Go Solar today!
