With the holiday season come cozy gatherings, festive lights, and an undeniable spike in energy use. As you plug in extra lighting displays, fire up the oven for holiday feasts, and keep the thermostat higher for guests, your electric bill can skyrocket. But there’s a solution to keep costs low: solar energy.
Increased Holiday Energy Usage
The average US household sees a 30% increase in energy consumption during the holiday season. From holiday lights to heating for extra guests, it all adds up. Solar panels can help offset these costs by generating clean, renewable energy from the sun, reducing your reliance on the grid.
Lower Your Electric Bills with Solar Power
Solar energy systems capture sunlight and convert it into electricity for your home. Even on cloudy days, modern solar panels can generate a significant amount of energy. With net metering programs, you may also be able to earn credits for any excess energy produced, which can further lower your monthly bill.
Environmental Benefits During the Holidays
In addition to saving money, using solar power during the holiday season reduces your carbon footprint. For every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar energy produced, nearly one pound of CO₂ emissions is avoided. Imagine celebrating the holidays knowing you’re giving back to the planet!
