Researching Providers
Researching Different Providers
Different energy providers have different strengths and weaknesses. Have you done thorough enough research on which energy provider best fits your individual circumstances?
Non-profits and governments often also offer financial help for electricity and other items for lower income families- you just need to be able to find it.
Solar Energy Is Already a Well-Developed Technology That Can Earn You Money and Significantly Reduce Your Electricity Bills
Did you know that solar is the cheapest energy in human history? And that solar can pay itself off within 3-7 years and then start generating income for households? This isn’t the future, this is right now.
If you plan to live in the same house for 4+ years, you should strongly consider installing solar panels on your roof. Your electricity bill will increase drastically and your solar panels will pay themselves off and then start generating revenue within several years. As well as you playing a large part in stopping the effects of climate change.
Please make sure to research this thoroughly beforehand first.
Will Solar Panels Increase the Value of Your Home?
The answer is- it depends.
Solar panels are an asset that can strongly reduce electricity bills and generate revenue.
However, you need to be very, very, very controlled in where exactly the solar panels are placed on your roof. Some solar panels look great, but other solar panels look terrible, which can affect the value of your house.
If you allocate enough time- e.g. 2 hours, you should be able to plan where they can be placed to (1) maximise- and not reduce- your house’s selling value (some solar panels look terrible while some panels look good) and (2) what you look at every day.
You need to google images of solar panels on houses, and after scrolling through a hundred or so of them, plan very, very, very carefully where exactly they will be placed on your roof, how high they are above the edges, and how they look.
