Did you know solar panels have been around since the 1850's? We didn't, but we've heard about the latest and greatest solar product's in the last 30 years. In today's episode of TRC:365 we discuss question's you need to ask yourself regarding your home. These short questions and conditions will allow you to have a much clearer view if Solar is worth it for you. DO NOT buy the hype of your home value will increase by so-so % with solar panel's, but let's save that %% of money by making the right decision. 

Here's a list of websites we mentioned in today's episodes are www.sunnumber.com, GAF Energy, and Total Roofing's if you need a contractor to review your home's roofing system.  We understand that Illinois has released many advantageous tax credits to benefit your utilities cost, but how old's your roofing system? Where do you live? Are you building your home? These are questions you must ask and be familiar with before signing any type of contract. 

The average solar system cost is between $20,000 to $40,000 plus potentially a new roofing system ($12,000)! This is a serious renovation and you should not base it off the "green movement" or "but I have low monthly payments." If you have more questions feel free to reach out to us at our website or via social media. 

A great product is featured as the photo below. This is the GAF Decotech solar system. This solar system gets installed alongside the roofing GAF roofing system at the same time and is covered by the same warranty as the roof. You can learn more at GAF.com
