Ten Benefits of Solar Energy

Having solar power as an energy source has become a highly desired home feature. Here are some of the advantages that South Florida homeowners can now enjoy with SunPower’s solar panels in a CC Homes home:

Smart Technology: SunPower’s solar power system is user-friendly with a connected smart phone application allowing for self-reliance when it comes to one’s energy and offering use insights like never before. Homeowners can monitor consumption and operations in real time through the mySunPower app.

4. Added Value. Potential buyers are increasingly attracted to energy-efficient and eco-friendly properties, making integrated solar energy services a valuable investment for homeowners.
5. Tax Incentive: Qualified homeowners who purchase solar panels can take advantage of the 30% federal tax incentive further enhancing the financial benefits of going solar.
6. Power Independence: Implementing a solar power system with battery storage like SunVault  can protect homeowners from fluctuations in utility prices and provide seamless back-up power during outages.
7. Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Solar power generates electricity without emitting harmful greenhouse gases. By choosing solar, homeowners are participating in a sustainable energy practice that protects life on the planet from rising global temperatures.
8. Conservation of Natural Resources: Solar energy harnesses an abundant and renewable resource—the sun. Utilizing solar power decreases the dependence on finite fossil fuels, helping to conserve natural resources for future generations.
9. Clean Air and Water: By producing clean electricity, solar energy reduces air and water pollution, resulting in improved air quality and healthier ecosystems.
10. Biodiversity Protection: Transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar helps decrease the pressure on ecosystems and wildlife habitats, contributing to biodiversity conservation.
