Top 3 Benefits of Transitioning to Solar

Welcome to the bright world of solar energy with Sugar Hollow Solar! Embracing solar power and battery backup not only brings savings but also contributes to a sunnier future for our planet. Let's start with exploring 3 powerful reasons we think going solar is a sweet choice:

Cutting Down on Rising Utility Costs

Solar power does help lower your electric bill and protect you from increasing energy costs. Your potential savings depend on how much energy you use, the size and location of your solar panels, and how your utility provider charges for electricity. In many cases, you could reduce your monthly power bill to just the basic fee for your meter (typically under $20).

Ensuring Power Stability

Imagine the relief of knowing you won't be left in the dark during a blackout, which typically happens during some of the most severe weather conditions when heating, cooling, or other power needs become critical.

At Sugar Hollow Solar, we understand the growing interest in solar and renewable energy as a reliable safety net against the challenges of an aging utility system (aka grid) and powering things with sources that don’t renew. Achieving this level of security requires incorporating a battery backup system with your solar panels, and is something that half of our customers choose to do.

Don’t worry if battery backup is a new concept to you, it’s a topic we will provide more information on too. For now, it’s important to note that energy stability and security are possible in the transition to solar.

Environmental Empowerment

Our civilization has endured for 10,000 years, the resources we've relied on — coal, oil, and gas — formed over millions of years, face depletion within a few hundred years due to our current consumption rates. Oil, especially, poses continued challenges in extraction, with the process becoming increasingly difficult and costly.

This realization presents a pressing need for alternative energy sources that can sustainably meet our growing energy demands. Solar energy emerges as a rapidly growing solution, harnessing the abundant and renewable power of the sun to provide clean and sustainable energy for generations to come.

    “I can't say enough about how positive my experience was working with Sugar Hollow on the solar installation at my home. From the first interaction to the last, every individual I communicated with was friendly, professional, and patient. I had a lot of questions at each stage and I felt accompanied along each decision without feeling pressured. The solar is now installed and working well and I know that I have the continued support of the staff going forward. They are also a local, NC company, which is important to me. I highly recommend!”
