Solar panels are a great way to offset energy costs, reduce the environmental impact of your home and a host of other benefits. If you’re wondering, “where are solar providers near me?” and want to install panels on your home, we wanted to share a few benefits to installing solar in the Orange County or Los Angeles County areas.
Reduce or eliminate energy bills.
Did you know that Orange County and Los Angeles County have over 278+ sunny days of the year? On sunny days, our customers who have completed a solar installation can generate a lot more energy than they consume, and then can trade that with the utility.
Even cloudy days or locations can receive more than two hours of sunlight per day, while sunny locations receive an average of 5.5 hours of sunlight per day. Although sunny days will produce more solar energy, the best solar panels will continue to draw energy even when the weather is cloudy. Indirect, or diffused, sunlight will still help to power your home. Cloudy days usually produce around 10 to 20 percent of the power generated on sunny days.
Help the environment and help us all.
Solar power systems derive clean, pure energy from the sun. Installing solar panels on your home helps combat greenhouse gas emissions and reduces our collective dependence on fossil fuel. Traditional electricity is sourced from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. When fossil fuels are burned to produce electricity, they emit harmful gases that are the primary cause of air pollution and global climate change. Not only are fossil fuels bad for the environment, but they are also a finite resource.
Renewable energy also improves public health.
Coal and natural gas plants produce air and water pollution that is harmful to human health. But replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, such as solar power from a solar installation, can reduce premature mortality as well as overall health care costs.
Saving Orange County and Los Angeles County’s Water Supply
We celebrate the fact that California is finally 100% drought-free. Solar energy requires little to no water to operate. So, not only does solar power not pollute water resources, but it also doesn’t put a strain on our county’s water supply.
Solar power also works during a drought or heatwave. Coal, natural gas and nuclear power use large amounts of water for cooling. During heat waves or severe droughts, as we’ve experienced in recent years, electricity generation is at risk. But solar power systems do not require water to generate electricity. It’s a win-win for all involved!
There are many uses for clean renewable solar power that range from powering up your kitchen appliances to heating your home during the winter and keeping it cool in the summer. There’s no better way to do it than with the best solar panels with our Top Tier Home Energy solar panels.
