The decision to go solar is no longer just about being environmentally conscious—it’s about making a smart financial move. As energy rates continue to climb and incentives remain in place, homeowners are finding that there’s real urgency (and real opportunity) in making the switch to solar power. Whether you’re just beginning to explore your options or ready to take action, here’s why right now is the best time to power your home with the sun.
Lower Costs, Higher Efficiency
Solar technology has made huge strides in recent years. Modern panels are more efficient, meaning they generate more electricity per square foot, and the cost of installation has dropped more than 60% over the past decade. At APS, we design systems that maximize savings while fitting the unique energy profile of your home—helping you get the most value for your investment.
Federal and State Incentives Are Still Available
The federal solar tax credit (ITC) remains one of the biggest reasons to go solar now. In 2025, homeowners can still deduct up to 30% of the cost of a solar energy system from their federal taxes. Depending on your state, additional rebates, net metering credits, or property tax exemptions may apply. But these incentives won’t last forever. Waiting could mean missing out on thousands in savings.
Beat Rising Utility Costs
The average U.S. household pays about 15–20 cents per kilowatt-hour—and it’s going up. Solar helps you take control of your electric bill by generating your own clean power on-site. That means less money going to the utility company and more predictable monthly expenses. Some APS customers report cutting their electric bills by 60–90% after switching.
Energy Independence and Reliability
From extreme weather events to rolling blackouts, power reliability is becoming a serious concern for homeowners. A residential solar system, especially when paired with battery storage, offers a level of energy independence that protects your home and keeps the lights on—even when the grid goes down.
Increase Your Home’s Value
Numerous studies show that homes with solar panels sell faster and for more money. Zillow reports a 4.1% premium on homes with solar—meaning a $400,000 home could sell for $416,000. Solar is no longer a novelty—it’s a feature buyers actively seek out.
