The Sun is Still Free-You Can Harvest It – ANCO Design Build
Power outages are increasing each year. While being inconvenient, power outages can be dangerous, especially for families with medical needs. Installing a new modern backup generator for your home will create a safer environment for you and your family. Let’s face it, the power grid is stressed out and the demand for electrical power is increasing. If you must have power 24/7, then installing a backup generator system is a great idea. Generators are available in all sizes and price ranges. Lower priced units are small and require manual use. Larger units are automatic during power outages and can run most of your essential backup loads.
Solar Panel Systems installed prior to Octoer 2022 do not work when the power grid goes down. The new solar panel systems work when the power grid is down. Your solar panel investment should cancel 80 to 90% of your monthly electrical bills, and most systems are paid for within 48 to 72 months. Remember that electrical rates are increasing 9 to 11% yearly, which means your electrical rates will double in less than 7 years. It’s simple math, if your electrical bill is $500 each month X twelve months, that equals $6,000 a year. Imagine that going to $12,000 a year. Yes, based on the current level of electrical increases this is happening now.
Winter is coming, and it is going to be wet, real wet, and the threat of power outages is getting worse. Will you be ready? El Nino was here last year, and all creditable weather analysist are predicting another El Nino rain flow this coming winter. You can create a safety net by installing new drain systems to protect your foundations and property values. Remember standing water and electricity do not mix and is considered dangerous.
