Living in the sunshine would be a perfect opportunity to take advantage of solar energy. Or one may think.
Unfortunately, way too many misconceptions exist regarding solar systems for home use. While once thought as a "cost improvement" that was only for show and not cost beneficial, lenders, installers and slowly homeowners are realizing that a home solar system can be a "profit improvement" paying for itself.

In the meantime, here are some misconceptions and myths regarding home solar systems.
1. Roofs can be damaged by home solar systems. It's easy to see why some people may think this since a home solar system is an installation. However, in truth, solar panels can help protect roofs against deterioration and leaking. In addition, sealants, flashings and other barriers are added to protect against any potential damage from elements and the panels are installed on railings and not onto the roof directly.
In Addition to that, Clever Energy offers a technology with zero roof penetration, very resistant of wind code requirements. No Holes on your roof.
2. Home solar systems are ugly. As solar panels are becoming more popular, they don't stand out as much. Besides being mounted on the roof, different color schemes available go further to blending in with the natural surroundings. Also, Orlando and Clermont are natural areas for home solar systems.
3. Solar can't handle the demand of many household items. It's hard to believe when you look at solar panels that they can power your refrigerator, air conditioner, water heater, dish washer, clothes washer and more but they can. Remember, excess is stored in the battery or send to your utility company to bank your energy credits. Of course, this all depends on your usage, battery space and local grid agreements so you'll need an experience installer to guide you on your installation.
4. Solar panels will lower your home's value. Home solar systems are a home improvement project and since they are a "profit improvement" they are a value-added addition. New homeowners will view the solar installation as a cost savings that has already been added to the home. Studies have shown that new home buyers will pay an additional $15,000 for a home that has a home solar system installed. As the popularity grows, more real estate agents are using pictures of home solar systems in their advertising and educating potential home buyers on the benefits of having solar panels in a new house.
