Residential solar energy is ever-increasing in popularity for homeowners, due to a number of factors. But do all of those reasons add up to one big advantage that makes the upfront cost worthwhile? To answer that question, we compiled the major benefits of solar energy to determine if your hard-earned money should be put toward a rooftop solar array.

Residential solar panels are a sizable investment for most homeowners. Although the return-on-investment makes it a worthwhile financial endeavor, the thought of “going solar” likely produces a few questions. One of your main questions would probably be, “how many solar panels do I need to power my property?”

As a homeowner, you probably have a lot of questions about solar energy. One of the top questions we receive from anyone considering solar panels is, “How long does the installation process take?” and “When are the solar panels switched on?” Understandably, customers want to know how long it will take after signing a contract to finish the solar project so that the energy savings can begin rolling in. 

Nationwide, interest in residential solar energy is on the rise, with nearly five in 10 homeowners in the United States saying they’ve given “serious thought” to installing residential solar panels, according to the findings of a recent survey conducted by nonprofit Pew Research Center.
