Isn solar energy expensive to install?
We believe that a Solar Strategies manufactured home is the most cost-effective way to build a solar home. It costs about 57% less to build a manufactured home than a conventional home. The costs of initially installing solar components raise the price of a home. However, when you offset the cost of solar instatllation by the savings you incur with a manufactured home, you only pay about 5% more for the construction of the home. Remember, though, the real savings from solar energy is in your monthly utility bills. top of page Don’t solar panels require high maintenance? No. Your solar-electric system requires little to no maintenance. Photovoltaics have no moving parts and the system needs as much maintenance as your home’s main electrical panel. The photovoltaic panels themselves are warranted for 20 years; the electrical inverter for five years. Normal weather, rain, wind, and snow cleans your panels sufficiently with no significant loss in efficiency.
