Solar Power takes advantage of free energy.
Energy from sunlight is free and isn't going to run out any time soon. Any energy you generate means less energy you will have to buy from the utility company.
Take green to another level.
Reducing your energy consumption through high efficiency appliances and energy conservation techniques is wonderful, but there cannot be anything more green than generating power the way plants do: from sunlight. With solar panels installed on your home, you can significantly reduce your usage of electricity produced by fossil fuel-burning power plants. With enough panels, you could power your home exclusively with clean energy, and even supply the extra power you generate to the utility grid, possibly earning a credit.

Tax breaks make solar power more financially sensible.
To help encourage the installation of solar power arrays, the government offers tax credits to homeowners who have solar panels installed on their home. As of now, the credit is for 30% of the installed cost of the array. Other state, local, and utility company incentives may also be available.
Modular design allows you to increase the size of your solar array down the road.
From a single panel to the entire rooftop, you have the ability to tailor the size of your array to match your needs and budget, and the flexibility to add more panels later to increase your energy production!
Solar panels add value to your home.
Of course, anything that reduces your electric bills as much as solar panels do will substantially increase the value and appeal of your home.
