WASHINGTON (7News) — Today’s Solar Powered Minute, from Solar Energy World, focused on a growing concern for many homeowners: the rising cost of electricity.
As energy prices continue to surge, more families are looking for affordable, long-term solutions and solar power is quickly moving to the top of that list.
Wyatt Everhart, advisor with Solar Energy World, joined Good Morning Washington to explain why homeowners shouldn’t wait until warmer weather to start thinking about solar. While winter might not seem like the obvious time for home improvement projects, Everhart emphasized that acting now is key to maximizing savings later.
Homeowners who want to take full advantage of the high-energy production months of spring and summer need to begin the process early. Installing solar panels isn’t an overnight project. The timeline includes engineering, system design, securing permits from both the county and the utility company, installation, and finally receiving approval from the utility to power up the system.
Altogether, that process can take anywhere from two to four months. That means homeowners hoping to capture peak summer sunshine — and carry those savings into the fall and winter — should start the conversation now.
For those interested in learning whether solar is the right fit for their home, Solar Energy World makes the first step simple. Friendly consultants are available at 877-SOLAR-TV, or homeowners can visit solarenergyworld.com to schedule a consultation. As energy costs continue to rise, planning ahead today could mean significant savings tomorrow.
