Word of mouth is powerful, especially when you have experienced the benefits of your solar system firsthand.
Whether you’re pulling out your phone to highlight your recent savings or proudly showing off your solar array, using your personal experience to encourage others to choose solar energy is one of the best advantages you have.
This has a positive impact on the planet and your community. Solar energy helps reduce carbon emissions which promotes cleaner air.
Whenever the subject of climate change comes up with a neighbor, co-worker or family member, you already have the upper hand, as you have a system yourself.
But environmental benefits aren’t all solar power has to offer. Homeowners that adopt solar energy are also helping stabilize the electrical grid by generating power on their roofs. Relying less on the grid in times of high demand like extreme weather events can reduce the threat of blackouts or power outages.
Look for Change of Life Events
There are plenty of instances that can require a home to consume more electricity. From adding a pool to growing your family, rising utility rates can compound when these types of changes take place. Even buying an electric vehicle can have a significant impact on your home’s utility bill, increasing consumption by as much as 30%. When a homeowner generates solar energy, these changes become much more manageable economically. Add in the fact that SunPower customizes a homeowner’s solar system based on their current and even future energy use, and your referrals can be set for years to come.
Spread the word of solar power! Its time to go green!
