I’m really thrilled with the solar system. Not only am I saving on those electricity bills, but there’s just something awesome about generating your own power. The installation was smooth, the panels look slick, and overall, I’m one happy camper.

Great working with Travis and his team. They communicated regularly about the progress and were very prompt in responding along the way. MidAmerican took their time with the final step, but all went in smoothly. Enjoying green electricity!

Dave Lindquist was incredibly helpful at True Solar! My husband and I had been thinking about solar for years and when we finally decided to get some information I felt so blessed we ended up in Dave’s very capable hands! He wowed us with graphs and data while explaining everything in terms we could understand. The crew that came out to put up the solar were incredibly nice and very conscious of our concerns. They were professional, tidy, and fast. In the end we are incredibly happy with our solar now and honestly are saving so much money it’s unreal! Thank you Dave and True Solar for continuing to be awesome!

Need more reasons to go solar?

Energy independence

One of the main reasons why people choose to install solar panels on their homes is for energy independence. By generating your own electricity, you can reduce your reliance on the grid and gain more control over your energy.

In addition, when you generate more energy than you need, you can sell it back to the grid and earn credits on your utility bill. This process is called net metering, and it allows homeowners to offset their electricity bills by generating excess energy during the day and using that energy at night.

Financial savings

One of the major benefits of installing solar panels on your home is the potential to save money on your electricity bills. This is because solar panels allow you to generate your own electricity, which can reduce or eliminate your need to purchase electricity from your utility company.

In many cases, homeowners with solar panels are able to significantly reduce their electricity bills, and they may be able to eliminate them entirely.

Increased home value

This is because solar panels are seen as an attractive feature by many homebuyers, particularly those who are environmentally conscious.

According to a study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, homes with solar panels tend to sell for about 4% more than homes without them. For example, if you were to sell a home valued at $500,000, you could potentially add an additional $20,000 in value by having solar installed.

Resilience during emergencies

During a power outage, traditional grid-tied homes that rely solely on the power grid may be left without power. This can be especially concerning for people who rely on electricity for medical or other essential needs.

However, with a solar panel system installed at home, you can generate your own electricity and maintain power even when the grid is down. This is because most solar panel systems are connected to a battery storage system that allows excess energy to be stored.

Within our guide book, you’ll find insightful answers to commonly asked solar questions, detailed explanations of how solar energy works, and specific reasons why True Solar is the top choice for all your solar installation needs. Best of all, our guide book is completely free to all who are interested in learning more about this innovative and sustainable energy source.
