How Investing in Solar Panels Saves Money for Highland Homeowners

We know owning a home in Highland is a significant investment, and upgrades must have built-in cost savings mechanisms. Investing in solar power provides substantial long-term savings benefits, such as significantly reducing your electricity bills by taking advantage of almost 200 days of sun each year in Illinois.

Studies also show that solar power upgrades increase property value by 4.1%, and in Highland, this increase in property value makes 60% of the solar system expense pay for itself. Federal and state incentives, including tax credits and rebates and Illinois’ solar property tax exemption, make the initial investment even more affordable.

With a net metering program, Illinois residents also experience even more cost savings as electricity providers must buy back unused energy at full retail price. This means you also benefit over the lifespan of owning solar panels by being paid back for the excess energy your panels produce at the same rate as you pay for any incoming energy you might use during longer nights or stretches of cloudy days.

How Do Residential Solar Panels Operate?

Solar panels operate by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. In Illinois, solar panels efficiently capture available sunlight, even on cloudy days. The energy produced is used immediately, stored in batteries for later use, or returned to the grid for reimbursement.

Many factors come into play for the best possible solar panel installation outcome. At Solera Energy, our experts will assess the best possible positioning of solar panels on your roof and advise you on managing any foliage cover.

Do Solar Panels Work Well in Illinois?

Yes, solar panels work well in Illinois! Despite fluctuating weather conditions, Illinois’ long summer days provide plenty of sunlight, enhancing energy output. Additionally, advancements in solar panel design ensure they perform well in lower light conditions, meaning you will never be left in the dark.
