Did you know that 86% or Americans support the growth of solar energy in all forms? From many perspectives, solar panels in a new construction is an excellent decision, to mention a couple: (1) you can save dollars on your home's electricity bill and (2) you positively help with the impact of climate change by consuming less energy generated by fossil fuels.
Florida is the “sunshine state” and there is a reason why people call it like this, Florida experiences an average of 230 to 250 sunny days per year. This gives homeowners a solid reference when thinking about installing solar panels in their homes.
What’s the 20% rule for solar panels?
The 20% rule means your solar panels should give you 20% more energy than your home usually needs. It is a way to avoid power loss during cloudy days or high-use months. Also, this rule helps you plan for long-term considerations like electric vehicle charging.
Another important fact about solar panels is understanding the lifespan and maintenance requirements, they typically need replacement every 10-15 years.
As Florida’s clean energy market share continues to grow integrating solar panels into new constructions isn't just a smart financial decision—it's a crucial step toward energy independence and environmental stewardship.
