Spring Into Savings*: Why Now Is A Great Time to Go Solar

With the arrival of spring, we are greeted by longer days filled with abundant sunshine and ideal weather conditions, making it an opportune moment to consider going solar. The extended daylight hours provide more opportunities to capture the sun's energy, which can be converted into electricity for your home. This not only allows you to reduce your reliance on traditional power sources significantly but also leads to substantial savings on your utility bills.** Embracing affordable solar energy during this season means you can take full advantage of the sun's generous offerings, ensuring that your investment in solar panels pays off quickly and effectively.

Take Advantage of Longer Daylight Hours

Spring brings with it longer days and extended daylight hours, making it a great time to harness the power of the sun. More sunlight means more affordable solar energy for your home, which can result in greater savings on your utility bills.* By installing solar panels now, you can maximize the energy captured during these sun-rich days.

As the days continue to lengthen, the efficiency of your solar panels increases, allowing you to generate more electricity and potentially even sell excess power back to the grid†. This not only helps you save money* but also contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.

* Individual savings will vary based on your utility rate, energy consumption habits, solar system equipment installed on your property, tax incentives eligibility, weather, and other factors. Individual savings estimates are based on your solar energy production, your solar kWh rate, potential tax incentives, your utility kWh rate at the time of purchase and projected increase in the utility rate (based on historical data and national averages). Estimates do not take into consideration other changes in utility rates. Such changes could affect your overall estimated savings. PosiGen does not guarantee savings.
