As the cost to produce electricity goes down each year, many Americans are making the wise switch to solar energy. Solar energy is both a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly solution to high energy bills. The average American household spends around $1,430 a year on electricity alone. Solar energy is sustainable, renewable and plentiful. Below are some of the benefits of switching to solar energy.

Benefits Of Solar Energy
With rising utility prices and a decrease in the cost of installing solar systems, solar energy has become a sustainable and cost-effective energy alternative for homeowners. The appeal for many homeowners are the solar savings: financial returns, avoiding energy costs and lower monthly utility bills. The exact solar savings depend on the following factors:
- Electricity usage
- Solar system size
- Direct hours of daily sunlight
- Roof size
While solar panels are a little costly up front, they will save you a great deal of money in the long run.The average home can save between $10,000 and $30,000 over the lifetime of your solar panels. Solar energy systems provide a great opportunity for those looking to lower their monthly utility bills and make a long term, low risk investment.
One of the most important issues for homeowners today is energy efficiency. Electricity prices increase an average of 2% annually. With solar savings, you lock in the price you pay for electricity. In doing so, you protect yourself from future increases in electricity costs.
Homes with solar energy panels sell for more than homes without. It is easy to understand why, considering that solar energy panels reduce or eliminate electricity bills.
At the end of the day, solar energy is one of the greatest investments you can make. The average solar purchaser sees a return on their investment of 20% or more.
Energy independence refers to reducing U.S dependence on foreign energy imports, specifically on imported oil and petroleum products. One way to achieve energy independence is through the adoption of solar energy.
The electrical grid is a complex network of electrical generators (power plants), transmission and distribution lines creating and moving electricity where it needs to be. It dynamically responds to shifts in electrical supply and demand to make sure electricity is supplied reliably.
With an off-grid system, you are completely reliant on the sun and energy stored in your batteries to power your home. What you produce, and what you have stored is all you have. While off-grid systems are equally as efficient in powering homes, you will not have access to extra energy beyond what you have stored. This can raise issues for some, especially when the weather is unpredictable. If you experience abnormally cloudy weather for several days in a row, your system may be unable to produce enough energy to charge batteries and meet your needs.
When you install an on-grid solar energy system, you will always have access to electricity. If your system is not producing enough electricity, with an on-grid system you can draw power from the grid when needed. You can also export power back into the grid when the system produces more than you are using. Your solar energy system will always prioritize your power needs, however. Energy will only be offloaded when power productions are beyond your usage. An added benefit is that the clean energy produced will provide renewable energy to other homes! In addition, most utility companies offer net metering.
Net metering is a way of using the electric grid to store energy generated by your solar panel at a later time.The amount of energy your solar panels produce will vary depending on the time of year. Net metering helps you account for seasonal differences in solar power, crediting you for the excess electricity your panels produce so you can use it at a later date. With net metering, you can receive utility bill credits for the electricity that your solar panels produced. So when you produce more than you need, think of it like money in your pocket!
While there are distinct differences between off-grid and on-grid solar energy systems, both reduce dependence on the electrical grid and save you money in the long run.

Earn a Great Return on Your Investment
Solar energy is a cost–effective investment for homeowners with high monthly electric bills. While solar can be an intimidating purchase up front, it pays for itself in energy savings by decreasing or even eliminating your electric bills. This rate of return on investment (or ROI) depends on factors such as the quality of your solar panels and your monthly energy use. However, average homeowners see a total return on their investment within the first decade after installment. At SunPower by Custom Energy, we provide the latest solar technology, so homeowners get the most efficient and cost–effective solar solutions.
Many homeowners experience additional solar savings with state and federal solar incentives or tax breaks that reward residents who invest in clean energy. The federal government offers homeowners a 26 percent solar tax credit for any solar system installed by December 31, 2022. Depending on where you live, you can also receive state solar incentives through solar rebates or solar renewable energy credits (SRECs).
Increase Your Property Value
Solar savings benefit more than just your monthly electric bill. If you’re in the market to sell your home, a first–rate solar energy system can increase your property value. Depending on the quality of your solar system and home area, switching to solar can help your home sell faster and at a higher price.
Energy Independence Solar Savings in Utah
For homeowners, having energy independence is the concept of fulfilling your own home’s energy needs. This means that your home’s energy exists off–grid and is separate from the high electricity costs of utility companies. Energy independence is possible through renewable energy.
Renewable resources such as solar energy allow you to produce and use your own power rather than relying on unsustainable energy to run your home. By switching to solar, you can embrace the benefits of solar savings and participate in a green economy with newfound energy independence. We are huge proponents of energy independence at SunPower by Custom Energy, and we can’t wait to help you achieve energy independence for your home.

I had a SunPower system (35 panels and 2 batteries) installed by Custom Electrical (Custom Energy). I found them knowledgeable and easy to work with from the project start to finish. The design and install crews did excellent work and took my concerns into account. Their work was completed on time and on budget. I would use them again in the future and I certainly recommend them.— Steve Kaylor

We contacted Custom Energy late in the fall hoping that our system could be installed before year end. They worked quickly with the design and permitting process and installation was completed in December. They did a very professional job and everything works like it is supposed to.— ROBERT FOLEY

They came by and did the standard entry point spraying and checked for rodents. Very professional, friendly, and quick. They always ask if there is anything I've noticed in between treatments that they should look for and are very happy to check and treat if necessary. Very happy with the service!— Jeri Deneen

Had a bad experience Edge Pest control but the customer care manager called and resolved my issue. He explained that he would communicate with the employees so that in the future there would be less miscommunication and better service.— Chris D

The staff has always been prompt and friendly. The last service guy even text me a picture of a large opening that needed to be resealed and offered to fix it that day. It was an area that I normally wouldn’t even looked at and appreciate the extra effort to notify me of a potential problem. I’ve been impressed from the beginning with Edge. In fact, we never buy anything from door to door sales but the sales guy was so knowledgeable & friendly that my husband happily signed up.— demi sockwell

I have been a customer since March 2020 and am proud to say that I appreciate and value the services provided by Edge. I have peace of mind knowing my kids and pets are safe from a variety of pests that we inherited with our new home. Their product is one of a kind however, the technicians are what really make this company stand out to me. Each technician I’ve encountered always has a vast knowledge about Edge’s products, they do a great job explaining them to you, and are happy to share their firsthand experiences in dealing with these pests directly. Graham is my regular technician and he is awesome! Not only do I trust him but I can also depend on him to answer my questions and make recommendations. If I ever have a problem or need additional services he is only a text away and is always professional and timely with his responses. He is also very courteous and not pushy when he informs me about new products and services offered by Edge. I would definitely recommend Edge’s services to anyone looking for A+ pest control solutions with technicians that will exceed your expectations. Thank you Edge!— James McKee

Got Edge peat control to help me with grain beettle issue. First service was ok. I called in 2 weeks since it wasn't going down, they were responsive and sent someone the next day. Beetles started going down after that. Then after 1 month, they came again and Graham sprayed the house thoroughly. Very happy with Graham. Wish he came the other times too. He was very professional and took care of outside the house as well. We haven't seen ants or other bugs that we seen last summer. Beetle problem went down a lot and hoping with another spray, we should be able to kill them all. Update 11/13: Still having issues but a manager took over my account and has been actively working on to get rid of my beettles issue. Very happy with their service. I understand that bug issues are a process to eliminate but Edge is working hard to get my house beettles free.— Sharaf Ahmed
