The Pro’s And Cons of Solar!
If you’re starting to think about going solar, that’s great! As one of the nation's leading renewable energy specialists, we're excited to help you explore this option. Let's dive into the pros and cons of going solar so that you can make an informed decision.
Pros:
Reduced Energy Bills: One of the most significant benefits of going solar is the potential to reduce your energy bills. By generating your own electricity, you can significantly lower or even eliminate your monthly electricity bills.
Environmentally Friendly: Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy that does not release harmful pollutants or greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. By going solar, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and help protect the environment.
Increased Home Value: Solar panels are becoming increasingly popular, and homes with solar panels are often seen as more desirable and valuable in the real estate market. By going solar, you can increase the value of your home and potentially attract more buyers if you decide to sell in the future.
Tax Credits and Incentives: There are several tax credits and incentives available to homeowners who go solar, which can help offset the upfront costs of installing a solar system. These incentives vary by state and federal government programs.
Cons:
Upfront Costs: The initial cost of installing a solar system can be expensive, although the cost has come down significantly in recent years. However, the long-term savings on your energy bills can often offset these costs over time. ***(Tycho Energy’s Redirection Program allows you to enjoy the benefits of solar energy with $0 upfront cost!

Weather Dependent: Solar panels generate electricity from the sun's energy, so their output can be affected by weather conditions such as cloud cover or rain. However, solar panels are still an effective source of energy even in less sunny areas. ***(Luckily here in Arizona, we’ve got bright sunshine beating down on our homes almost every day of the year! 1:1 Net Metering allows you to use your electricity credits to consume any additional energy your home needs from the grid at no additional cost!)***
Maintenance: Solar panels require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure that they operate at peak efficiency. However, this maintenance is relatively minor and can be easily managed with routine care. ***(When you go solar with Tycho, we’re on the hook for the life of your system, any maintenance or necessary cleaning is on us!)***
At Tycho Energy, we believe that the pros of going solar far outweigh the cons. Our goal is to help you understand the benefits of solar energy and design a system that meets your needs and budget. If you're ready to take the next step, we're here to help!
