According to a study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), homeowners and businesses would have to pay $41 billion more every year for energy. That is because, without solar panels, renewables would only make up 11 percent of the country’s energy generation, as opposed to the current 17 percent. Therefore, what would happen …
Heat pumps are a cost-effective alternative to standard heating and cooling systems. However, when combined with solar panels, they can be even more efficient. Solar panels collect solar radiation and convert it into heat. It used this heat to power the heat pump. They also help to offset the carbon footprint of the heat pump. …

Homeowners with solar panels do not have to worry about their system being damaged in the event of a nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) or solar flare. Solar PV systems are EMP- and flare-resistant, meaning they will still work after an attack or natural disaster. This makes solar power a reliable source of energy for homeowners, …
