Why Go Solar

UP TO 30% TAX CREDIT

The 2023 federal solar tax credit significantly reduces the cost of installing solar. In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act passed, increasing the solar tax credit to 30% of the system cost... which can include a battery.

RISING COST OF POWER

Electricity costs have significantly increased and will continue to rise. As of December 1, 2022, Utility companies have raised their rates consistently year after year. 2022 saw an average 9.3% increase in energy costs, compared to their 4% average increase in past decades. You can expect to see increased energy costs in the years ahead. Installing solar panels can be an effective way to mitigate the rising prices now and protect you in the future.

BIG SAVINGS

Expect major savings with solar. Although the amount of money saved from going solar varies on a project-to-project basis, you can expect to reduce your electricity bill and instantly save up to 30-80% or more on your utility payments. Factors such as available roof space, building orientation, roof pitch, energy consumption, and future home or business plans can all impact your potential solar savings.

HELP THE ENVIRONMENT

Solar helps the environment. Solar panels turn sunlight into energy for consumption by your home or business. This reduces the need for fossil fuels and reduces carbon emissions.

SOLAR IS A SMART INVESTMENT

The cost of the electricity you purchase from your utility provider will continue to climb. Depending on how your solar project is designed and funded, you can see a return on investment in 5-12 years and start saving money as early as day one. Many smart home and business owners have gone solar merely for the stable investment option.

PAY YOURSELF VS THE POWER COMPANY

With attractive loan options available, many solar customers are simply trading out a utility payment for a solar loan. For example, if your electric bill is $150 and you're saving $100 on electric cost with solar panels, you may have a monthly loan payment of $100 which means you're paying yourself instead of the electric company! In some cases, solar customers are even cash-positive on day one!

INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME

Solar increases home value. While we don't suggest installing solar panels solely for this purpose, numerous studies have shown solar homes are valued higher. Plus, they sell even faster than traditional homes. In 2019, Zillow released a study showing that homes with solar panels sold for 4.1% MORE than similar homes without solar panels installed.

LOWER COST FOR MODERN SOLAR

The price of solar panels has dropped. The cost of solar is 29% less today than it was almost 10 years ago. With many affordable loan options, such as zero-down solar loans and various financing options, solar is easily obtainable for most home and business owners.

Solar technology is at its best. Solar panels have continued to improve over time and panels offered by Bison Power offer the latest technology available on the market, paired with the best price.

ALWAYS HAVE POWER

Battery storage options keep your home or business protected from grid outages. We've all been without power from storms, grid overloads, and utility equipment failures. When solar is paired with a battery, you can keep the lights on, even if the grid goes down. You can choose to back up just the essentials (such as lights, fans, and freezer) or your entire home or business.

HOME CAR CHARGING FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES

You can have a fuel station on your roof! If you own an electric vehicle, you can install solar panels and use clean energy to charge your vehicle. Not only are you avoiding paying for gas, but you are now saving even more money by using the sun! Bison Power offers a variety of residential and commercial electric vehicle charging options.

NET-ZERO EMISSIONS HOME

With solar panels, you can have a net-zero home. A net-zero home uses only the power it consumes. Generally new homes are very well insulated and include energy efficient appliances. With the addition of solar panels and battery storage owning a net-zero home is very possible.

VIRTUALLY MAINTENANCE FREE

Solar panels require little to no maintenance. Well-designed and installed solar systems require no scheduled maintenance. Regular rain typically keeps the panels clean. However, during the heavy pollen season, it never hurts to give them a good rinse with a hose. Although most snow will slide off within a few hours of a snow storm it can be a good idea to gently clear accumulated snow off your panels after a major snowstorm.

A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY

Set a good example in your community. By installing solar panels, you're showing the community that you care about the environment, while encouraging others to look into solar energy. Bison Power even has a referral program that will earn you up to $1,000 for each new customer you send our way. Ask you Solar Advisor for details about this amazing program.

AVAILABLE SOLAR MORTGAGE OPTIONS

Take advantage of solar mortgage options. An energy-efficient mortgage, also known as a green mortgage, is a financial loan product that allows you to fully pay for and finance energy-efficient improvements under favorable terms. Simply put, these funds are designed to help you finance eco-friendly home upgrades. These renovation projects can include going solar!

PROTECT YOUR ROOF

Solar panels shield your roof from the elements and, in many cases, extend the life of your roof. However, if your roof has less than 7 years of life left, we encourage home and business owners to replace or repair the roof prior to installing a solar system. Solar panels installed by Bison Power are even engineered to withstand category 4 hurricane winds! That means your panels will be there if your roof iremains intact during a major storm.

UNLIMITED LONG TERM SUPPORT

When you choose Bison Power, your solar experience doesn't stop after the system is turned on. Bison Power offers ongoing post-installation support to our customers. If you have a question or just want us to check on your system's production we're here for you - and will be here for all the years to come.

Solar energy experts can run energy forecasts to show exactly what a solar design is expected to do for your specific situation.
