One of our loveliest solar clients turns 102 this year. Before I started working in the industry, her son installed a solar system on his Leimert Park home. He’s a big proponent of solar energy and has saved thousands of dollars on electricity costs. Seeking more control over his mother’s expenses as her primary caregiver, we installed a solar system on her Windsor Hills/View Park home two years ago. They started saving money Day One!
According to Redfin and Zillow, solar panels instantly increased a home’s value by 4% or more. Despite his mom’s increased electricity usage due to electric space heaters, her energy bill has dropped, and her home’s worth has increased.
One of our clients also shared, “They were professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend them for anyone considering solar.”
Mapping out a family’s current and future energy needs, we take into consideration families’ multi-generational needs. For example, with aging parents, we may need to account for more heating and medical device usage. For families with young children, as they get older, their use of computers, iPads and cell phones increase, not to mention round-the-clock phantom electric power usage (i.e., when chargers are plugged into power strips but no devices are attached). In busy households and with more people working from home, these charging stations can be found throughout the house.
Bottomline…
Homes consume more energy to power HVAC systems, appliances, and other instruments to care for multiple generations. This increasing energy demand can raise power costs. Solar energy is a smart move that allows families to cut energy costs significantly, making more room for daily living comfort, caregiving, and financial security.
Solar panels minimize energy prices and reduce fossil fuel consumption, while fighting climate change. Parents and grandparents want cleaner, cheaper energy, and their children and grandchildren carry forth the legacy of caring about the environment and making more planet-friendly choices. Families that switch to solar electricity improve the earth for future generations.
As more families use solar energy to power their homes, we collectively ensure a greener, more sustainable, and healthier future.
