Solar power is, in essence, a free and reliable source of energy which can <strong>power a variety of devices<\/strong>, even entire homes, hotels and buildings. There are things like watches, calculators or radios that have been powered by solar energy for a very long time, and homes are just another improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Many people still don\u2019t have a clear vision of how solar power can help them. But, for one, it\u2019s the<strong> purest form of renewable energy<\/strong> because there will always be sunlight &#8211; there is no way to spend it. It has huge advantages besides that over nonrenewable energy sources. Becoming less dependent on limited energy sources plays an important part when discussing solar energy pros and cons.<\/p>\n<p>So, you need to understand<strong> what solar power can do for you<\/strong> and your wallet, as well as for your carbon footprint. Many companies also offer different types of solar panels and solar power at different prices &#8211; and it\u2019s a big investment upfront &#8211; so here are some advantages to consider:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Save_Money_on_Electric_Bills\"><\/span>1. Save Money on Electric Bills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have high cost of electricity, solar power is the perfect solution to help you with an alternative that will help you save a ton of money. You will also be<strong> less dependent on the utility company.<\/strong> This is a great thing but many people are still worried if the solar power is going to live up to their needs. What if it\u2019s cloudy where you live? What if your area is mostly cloudy year round? Well, that\u2019s not a problem because the sun emits plenty of energy even if it\u2019s not sunny outside. Solar power <strong>also works in colder climates<\/strong> and it brings efficiency and savings. The size of the system and its efficiency will depend on your needs. Some solar panels can even generate more power than you need. Your electric bill could decrease to zero and you can <strong>even qualify for rebate<\/strong> if there is more electricity than you need.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_You_Could_Get_a_Break_on_Taxes\"><\/span>2. You Could Get a Break on Taxes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Solar energy are getting more and more affordable for people because of tax breaks. You are now able to claim 30% of the cost of the solar panels. There are also<strong> tax incentives<\/strong> for solar panels and this means that you could return all of the costs of your solar panels in five to ten years.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Its_Becoming_More_Affordable\"><\/span>3. It\u2019s Becoming More Affordable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Solar power cost has truly dropped in the recent years. Many homes are now able to add solar panels, and it would be a smart investment. Solar panels don\u2019t require any maintenance because there are no parts that could break down. New solar panels have much better looks and they blend in much better with traditional home resigns and roofs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Solar_Power_Helps_the_Environment\"><\/span>4. Solar Power Helps the Environment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Global warming is an issue that\u2019s becoming more and more of a concern to deal with now. Solar power will help you <strong>reduce the reliance on the nonrenewable energy sources<\/strong> and it would help you produce less pollution and harmful gasses. You would be emitting less and bringing safety to air, soil and water this way. Solar energy <strong>produces no pollution and it\u2019s unlimited.<\/strong> It will not bring any harm to the environment and it doesn\u2019t ruin the look of the landscape. Your carbon emissions will be lower and solar energy is thus an investment in the planet and it will conserve our environment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_It_Increases_Your_Independence_From_Fossil_Fuels\"><\/span>5. It Increases Your Independence From Fossil Fuels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Oil reserves decline so we need renewable energy sources more and more. <strong>Solar power is renewable<\/strong> and it\u2019s more important than ever to focus on the renewable energy sources. Solar power<strong> reduces your dependence<\/strong> on oil which reduces the general cost of living and reduces the risks of power shortages too. It offers clear benefits over the conventional power sources. It\u2019s safe, clean and affordable.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6390\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 Solar Energy Pros & Cons_Save You Money\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money-192x96.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money-384x192.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money-561x281.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money-364x182.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money-608x304.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Save-You-Money-313x157.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Do Solar Panels Really Save You Money?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Electricity is getting more and more expensive and the<strong> cost of solar panels is decreasing<\/strong> at the same time. So, over the last few years, solar panels have become a logical choice for many homeowners. When deciding\u00a0solar energy pros and cons, saving money is definitely up there as a concern.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But how much solar panels really cost and if they can save your money will depend on many different factors. This means that before you make that big step, you need to <strong>consider some important factors<\/strong> like:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Current_Bill\"><\/span>Your Current Bill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Solar panels generate power and they can make your monthly bill a lot lower. In essence, the higher your electricity costs are, the more benefits you will get from solar panels. However, you should also <strong>consider the rates and the usage<\/strong> of your electricity. These rates are volatile and the amount of savings will be volatile too. Location affects this too.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evaluate_How_Much_Sun_You_Are_Getting\"><\/span>Evaluate How Much Sun You Are Getting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>more sun<\/strong> you get, the more energy will be produced and you will have<strong> more savings.<\/strong> Of course, you can have solar panels no matter where you are and how much sun you are getting but if you are getting plenty of sun, you can get even more savings.<\/p>\n<p>You can estimate all of this and decide just how much you can save.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Estimate_How_Much_Your_Solar_Panels_Will_Cost\"><\/span>Estimate How Much Your Solar Panels Will Cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Solar panels, while they did get less expensive over the years, are still not a cheap project. With installation and depending on the size and needs of your home, it could cost anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000. This is before the tax and incentives.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that, while it does seem like a lot, solar panels can bring you <strong>minimal long-term expenses<\/strong> and quickly make up for what you spent. They don\u2019t require almost any maintenance and it will last for over 20 years, producing the same amount of electricity all that time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incentives\"><\/span>Incentives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The government often offers incentives if you install solar panels. Then you can <strong>claim additional credits<\/strong> which vary by location. If you have a high solar ranking, you can get some extra incentives as well. In some states, you can even sell all extra power you produce. This requires some research but you can definitely get incentives that would make it easier for you to spend less money.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6388\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 Solar Energy Pros & Cons_Disadvantages\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages-192x96.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages-384x192.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages-561x281.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages-364x182.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages-608x304.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Disadvantages-313x157.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What are 5 Disadvantages of Solar Energy?<\/h3>\n<p>Solar power is largely <strong>great for our environment<\/strong> but there are some drawbacks to it. If you want to know what may be a pitfall for you before you install solar panels, here are some of the disadvantages of solar panels and solar power:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Large_Upfront_Costs\"><\/span>1. Large Upfront Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The initial expenses could be high with slow return and the efficiency is not at 100% yet &#8211; This is the most common drawback and it can really discourage homeowners. While this will be less expensive in the long run, the very amount of money that needs to be spent upfront is high and it can lead people of the path of going solar.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Necessary_Amounts_of_Space\"><\/span>2. Necessary Amounts of Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Solar panels generally take a lot of space so that might be a problem for some homes. Some people simply consider solar panels ugly and don\u2019t want them on their homes. On a side note, they are not as bulky as they used to be and there are plenty of different design options now.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Battery_Banks\"><\/span>3. Battery Banks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another problem might be the fact that there is no solar power during the night so you will need a large battery bank which can also take up a lot of space. Without an impressive place to store your excess energy,<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Available_Quantities_on_the_Market\"><\/span>4. Available Quantities on the Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Solar panels are not mass produced and the technology is very expensive so the cost of installing them is high. The size of them will also vary based on the location but the amount of power can be the same.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Less_Power_on_Cloudy_Days\"><\/span>5. Less Power on Cloudy Days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is less production of power during cloudy days and winter months. You'll still pull solar energy, but you may need to use up some of your stored energy or rely on electricity during extend periods without sunshine.<\/p>\n<p>Devices that you have to get for DC power are more expensive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6389\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 Solar Energy Pros & Cons_Radiation\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation-192x96.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation-384x192.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation-561x281.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation-364x182.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation-608x304.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Top-10-Solar-Energy-Pros-Cons_Radiation-313x157.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Do Solar Panels Give Off Radiation?<\/h3>\n<p>All electrical devices can create electromagnetic fields around them as well as electromagnetic radiation.
