6 reasons why you should make the switch to solar power in NZ
There are six main reasons why you should make the switch to solar:
Lower your carbon footprint
A reliable source of electricity
Decrease future power bills
Low maintenance
Increase property value
Easy installation
Lower your carbon footprint
Solar power is most commonly known for its 'clean and green' energy source from the sun, as solar power was invented by finding an alternative way to produce energy compared to fossil fuels.
As solar power produces energy through the sun, mitigating any use of coal, oil, and gas, this results in zero production of greenhouse gasses. As more greenhouse gas emissions are produced, these emissions get trapped within the earth's atmosphere, trapping heat and making the planet warmer over time.
Although having minimal production of greenhouse gasses is beneficial in ensuring our planet does not get too cold, it is urgently necessary that we don't produce too much carbon dioxide so that the earth becomes too hot. As we have made enough CO2 to emit heat on earth for hundreds of years, we must take action now to save our planet.
Therefore, by switching to solar energy, you will be decreasing your carbon footprint and doing your part to save the planet.
A reliable source of electricity
Solar systems in NZ are a resilient and reliable power source that provides energy 365 days a year. There is a common misconception that solar power isn't produced on rainy days. Although solar systems do not produce as much energy compared to sunny days, there is sun all days of the year; therefore, the panels will produce power no matter the weather.
Decrease future power bills
Using plugin devices in your home takes 'free' energy directly from the solar panels. This means that the energy you use will be first taken from the power that your solar panels provide, and then any additional need for energy will be taken directly from the utility grid.
This means you will incur savings on monthly power bills, and how much you will save will depend on the amount of energy you use and the size of the solar system you install.
Low Maintenance
Solar panels need very little maintenance as they can withstand high winds, heavy rain, and more severe weather conditions. The only maintenance you need to do is periodic minimal cleaning, such as clearing any debris on them that may obstruct sun rays to ensure maximum performance. Therefore, there is very minimal costs and time that is put into the maintenance of solar panels.
Increase Property value
Solar systems add monetary value to your property while creating a unique selling point for potential buyers who want to save money on electricity bills or be more environmentally conscious. Buyers are more often willing to pay more for a house with solar as opposed to one without to reap the benefits.
Easy Installation
Installing solar power systems is easy and possible for almost any home. The process is seamless and with Sustainable Power Solutions skilled and qualified workers, you can leave all the work to them.
To join the solar revolution and make the switch to renewable energy, send SPS NZ an email at enquiries@sps.live with your current power bill, property location, and lifestyle to allow us to get a better understanding of your energy usage to design a system that will work best for you. Wait for a bespoke proposal from us and then let us take care of the seamless installation process.
It is really as simple as that!
