Looking intoSolar Panel Installation For Your Home?

Having an Energy Efficient Home - Look we get it, solar panels are cool. They are big, cool looking, and green while at the same time being a great conversation starter. And of course, the idea of not paying your electricity bill and energy bills eachmonth is very nice. But, before you spend too long looking into ithere are someideas that will help you in your research. Now, don’t let me burst your bubble because we here at Elm Energy Group love “green” or renewable energy and there are certain buildings where it makes sense. If you already have an energy efficient building that was built recently and designed to perform you may be ready for solar panels and their savings. But… here’s the truth about regular solar panels. Placing them on a home that isn’t energy efficient or is just old is like putting a low performance in a Ferrari with flat tires. While the engine will get you to your location with less gas than aregular engine, the first step still should’ve been air in the tires.
