With the cost of electricity skyrocketing, solar roofing systems are a great way to offset your utility costs. Going solar may be a bit expensive for roofing companies to install upfront, but the amount you save in the long term will more than make up for your initial investment. Aside from reducing your utility bills, here are three more reasons why you should install solar roofing. 

1. Avoid Power Outages

When you are reliant on the electricity provided by your local power grid, you are also susceptible to power outages. When the power goes out during a severe weather event or if your power company performs scheduled maintenance, there is really not much you can do. But if you have solar roofing installed with a battery system for power storage, you can go about your day without any interruption.

2. Earn Tax Credits and Rebates

Aside from the money you save on your eclectic bill, installing a solar roof will also qualify you for tax rebates and credits. This year, you can claim a 22 percent solar tax credit if you install a new solar roofing system. If you are still on the fence about going solar, this reason alone should warrant a call to your local roofing company to get a solar roof estimate. 

3. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Solar power systems derive pure, clean and renewable energy from the sun whereas electricity coming from traditional sources will require the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas and is the primary cause for air pollution and global climate change. By going solar, you significantly reduce your impact on the environment and will help you to do your part in leaving a greener planet for your children and grandchildren.
