Solar Benefits

The advantages of solar power are far-reaching. Solar power has been around for decades, and is a known and reliable technology. New developments in silicone cell technology and other developments in the solar field have made the sun one of the most important energy sources of the future. Working with Helios Solar, you can take advantage of these technologies and obtain the following benefits:

Fast ROI: With PPL rates 30% higher than before and so many federal, state and local financial incentives and grants available to homeowners and businesses, solar electric systems pay for themselves faster than ever – in as little as 3-7 years.

Cost Predictability: This PPL rate increase won’t be the last. The costs of generating electricity from fossil fuels like natural gas and coal will only continue to rise as environmental restrictions stiffen and utilities expand their networks. Reducing your home’s dependency on fossil fuels will help protect your wallet from current and future PPL rate increases.

Reliability: Solar is a proven, reliable and efficient. Every day the sun rises and provides clean, silent, and free energy that will offset utility costs permanently. Developed by Bell Labs for the space program in the 1950s, early solar electric cells are still producing electricity today over 50 years after they were first developed.

Home Value: Recent studies have shown that for every $1.00 in savings on your utility bill is worth $20.00 in increased home value. Save $100.00 off your utility bill and add $20,000.00 to your home’s market value.

Environmental: Utility companies supply over 70% of electricity in the U.S. by burning fossil fuels—the leading cause of climate change. Generating electric power causes over a third of all green house gas emissions in the United States (source: Environmental Protection Agency). Reducing the electricity we draw from the grid means reducing carbon emissions. That means cleaner air, water and soil for your family, community, and generations to come.
