#1: Beat the Summer Rush!
Some homeowners put their solar pursuits on hold during the winter months because thinking about solar energy during the coldest, wettest, and cloudiest time of year isn’t the easiest thing. As a result, they don’t start thinking about solar again until longer days return. Every year we see a solar installation traffic jam of homeowners wanting to go solar at the first sign of summer. Unfortunately, many are forced to wait until fall to have their systems installed.
By purchasing your panels in the spring, you will be ready for an early installation. Avoid the inevitable summer rush for solar!
#2: You Will Be Up and Running for the Peak Solar Energy Months
Solar panels produce clean energy all year round, even in the winter. But during the summer months, solar systems operate at their peak. By getting your solar panels installed early in the spring, you will be primed and ready to reap the benefits of solar during the time of year when the benefits are at their highest. Your energy savings start immediately instead of waiting another year to experience the best of what solar has to offer.
#3: You Can Have More Energy Credits in the Bank for Fall and Winter
Our utility, Arizona Public Service, gives you a credit for excess, unused solar energy. The earlier you can start banking those credits, the better off you’ll be in fall and winter when you might need to rely on grid power during long stretches of bad weather. Your energy credits will help offset the cost of your grid-produced energy use during this time.
#4: The Installation Process With Be Quicker and Smoother
Installing a residential solar energy system requires permitting, corresponding with local utility companies that need to be managed, and more. Install solar early to get your paperwork processed during a time of less congestion in these offices. This will result in quicker responses, more personalized service, and an overall smoother experience. The same goes for the design, approval, and installation processes, all of which become congested during solar’s peak months.
#5: The Solar Savings Start Immediately
Going solar in early spring will allow your system to be installed in relatively short order! Saving on your monthly energy bills immediately is about as instant as gratification gets with a home improvement project!
#6: Take Advantage of Tax Credits and Other Incentives
With 2024 being an election year, who knows what could happen to a wide range of other solar incentives should political priorities change. Congress extended the 30% federal solar tax credit until 2032, but tis is a crucial election cycle for the future of renewable energy. If you want to avoid potentially higher cost for solar, then getting an early spring installation is the best way to do it.
#7: You Can Enjoy the Summer for the Relaxing Season It Is
Summers are simply made for backyard BBQs, afternoons in the pool, evening conversations on the porch, and taking vacations. Summer equals relaxation, right? The last thing anyone wants to have to deal with is meeting with and comparing contractors, extensive paperwork, and don’t forget about changing conflicting vacation schedules to fit within a contractor’s busy calendar. Go solar in spring. Enjoy your summer to its fullest, and start saving on those energy bills!
