Solar Panels for Homeowners: Advice and Tips from Experts

Advice for homeowners from Solaria & other solar experts on Porch.com.

Porch.com reached out to Solaria and other solar experts across the industry for tips and advice on going solar for homeowners.

What Solaria had to say:

Why is it a smart idea for homeowners to install Solar Panels?

Many homeowners who deploy solar on their homes see their electricity bill drop to $0. Homeowner savings will vary depending on the size of the system deployed [measured in kilowatts (kW)], homeowner’s electricity usage, amount of regional sunshine, well as state and local incentives.

Solar power system prices have declined by 45% over the last five years.

Homeowners, by deploying solar panels, can save on electricity costs while doing their part to combat climate change.

Solar power reduces carbon emissions—110 million metric tons annually.

That’s the equivalent to:

  • Taking 24 million (conventional) vehicles off the road

  • Not using 12 billion gallons of gas

  • Planting 2 billion trees

  • Shuttering 28 coal-fired power plants
