Pros and Cons of Solar Energy
Are solar panels worth it? Reduced electric bills, increased home values, reduced emissions, no outages, may be eligible for certain tax breaks and no pay hikes are some advantages in having solar panels.
One the other hand, we have installation fees and costs, are they an eye sore sitting on the roof, how do we calculate usage, depending on locale some parts may need to be replaced sooner especially if one lives in the snow country. The size of the home, the pitch of the roof, the direction it faces and making sure there are no obstructions blocking the sun's rays are important factors to consider before spending big bucks for solar panels.
Finally, for those who have the money and are willing to wait for an eventual pay off then investing in Solar Panels may be the way to go.
