Truth be told, only a few experiences are as blissful as driving an electric vehicle (EV). EVs got that instantaneous torque and quick acceleration that is unmatched by their gas counterparts. Besides their enhanced performance, plug-in electric cars are an embodiment of environmental consciousness. It is therefore not surprising that EVs are becoming popular as people strive to create an environmentally sustainable future.

Usually, most EV drivers rely on utility power to charge their cars. Although it gets the job done, it results in high power bills. Therefore, in line with creating an environmentally sustainable future and cutting down electric bills, solar energy stands as a better alternative to utility power. But there are other more compelling reasons as to why you should use solar energy for your home or business.

1. Generous Tax Credit

In 2006, the federal government introduced the Solar Investment Tax Credit to incentivize the businesses and homeowners to install solar panels. The credit has been up 30% up for the last 13 years till it dropped to 26% in 2020. To take advantage of this tax credit, you'll have to move to solar energy before the year 2022 when the credit will drop to zero.

2. Availability of Financing Options

Sure, the solar installation cost is expensive which is why most people shy away from moving to solar energy. But, you don't have to break the bank just to have a solar system installed in your home or business premise. Thanks to an abundance of financing options from banks and credit unions, you can have solar systems installed on loan without bearing the upfront cost. Of course, the loan amount you'll get depends on your credit score.  

It may seem counter-intuitive to finance solar installation, but it's more cost-effective than paying monthly power bills to utility companies. Besides, what could be a better way of breaking away from the monopoly of energy companies than installing a solar system?
