Switching from traditional electricity to solar panels is a big deal. You want to plan ahead and schedule your installation for the best time of year. While many people think that summer is the perfect time to install, homeowners may actually consider waiting until the cooler fall and winter weather approaches.
How to take advantage of waiting for fall or winter to install your solar panel? These three main reasons will encourage you to call SRB Energy this season for your consultation!
Shorter waiting times
Many homeowners start thinking about installing their new solar panels during the hot, sunny summer months. Unless you start planning early in the spring, you may not be able to get your work on the books in a timely manner.
Fall and winter see a reduction in the occupancy of installing solar panels, so you’ll have shorter wait times. This means you can bridge the gap between when you sign up for solar panels and when you actually start reaping the benefits of your new solar system.
Reduce electricity consumption before winter
When it comes to your electricity bills, chances are your total due will be much higher during the winter months. Make the most of your solar panels by having them installed during the first days of fall. It can take a while to turn on your solar power and start to see a difference in your bills, so you’ll want to prepare early to avoid skyrocketing winter electricity bills.
Installing your new panels in the fall will give you plenty of time to see a difference in the winter.
Best offers
When solar panel systems are in demand, the basic economics indicate that they will also be a bit more expensive. Supply and demand go hand in hand, and the price of your solar panels can increase if you buy them during the busiest season of the year. This is another reason why it is better to wait for the cooler months of fall and winter.
Not only will you experience shorter wait times, but you may also get a better deal. As a bonus, you can also take advantage of year-end incentives to sign up for solar power and make necessary modifications to your home. Provided your panels are installed before the end of the year, you will be able to take advantage of the tax advantages for further savings.
Install solar panels during colder months
While summer is the most popular time to install solar panels, fall and winter may actually be the best times to do so. There are many benefits to waiting for cooler weather before making this major modification to your home.
