The switch to solar isn’t just about environmental sustainability and saving on your electric bill – although these are amazing benefits – it’s also about maintaining your home’s natural curb appeal. Homeowners take pride in maintaining a beautiful exterior: raking leaves, cleaning out the gutters, and power-washing the siding are just a few examples of how much care is given to a home’s appearance. Solaris Renewables understands the importance of aesthetics, so we make solar aesthetics a priority in our product choices and solar installation methodology. That’s why we carry the most beautiful solar panels and offer the highest quality installation techniques.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss all things solar panel aesthetics, such as solar panel brands, styles, and installation methodologies. We’ll also discuss the extra steps Solaris takes to ensure that your home remains beautiful with the addition of solar panels.
Debunking Myths About Solar Panel Aesthetics
First, let’s debunk some common myths about solar panel aesthetics.
One of the biggest misconceptions about going solar is that solar panels will make your home look unattractive. While this may have been true of older solar panel models – which were typically bright blue with prominent grid patterns and visible wiring – the design of modern monocrystalline solar panels have changed the game. At Solaris Renewables, we offer a range of solar panels, which are black, sleek, and non-gridded. When you choose us to install your panels, we also cleanly hide wires and conduit to ensure a seamless incorporation onto your roof. We’ll talk more about this later.
Another misconception about solar is that the addition of solar panels will lower your home value due to diminished home aesthetics. In reality, the opposite is true. Not only do homes with solar systems sell faster than those without solar, but they also sell for more. Homes with solar panels on the market spend an average of 13.3% less time on the market than non-solar homes. Homes in the U.S. with a purchased solar system have an average home value increase of over 4%. In Northeast cities, solar homes can increase their resale value by as much as $99,000.
Now that we’ve debunked the top solar myths, let’s talk about style.
Solar Panel Brands: Unlocking Style and Function
Some solar panel manufacturers have recently begun focusing on sleek design as well as efficiency. These popular solar panel brands prioritize style and function. Solaris Renewables has elite partnerships and relationships with these premier solar manufacturers.
Maintaining Your Home’s Natural Curb Appeal with Premium Solar Panels
We offer only the most beautiful and productive solar panels in the world, including Maxeon, Solaria, and CertainTeed solar panels. Each of these brands incorporates superior aesthetics into their manufacturing methods. In terms of functionality, these brands even produce more electricity than standard panel brands. In addition to great aesthetics and solar production, these brands also utilize the best, most comprehensive warranties in the solar industry, including up to 40 years of protection. By prioritizing both beauty and functionality, we aim to elevate your home’s natural curb appeal with the addition of highly functional solar products.
Hiding Solar Wiring and Conduit
We also utilize a unique solar installation methodology that hides wiring and conduit, since visible wiring creates an eyesore atop roofs with solar panels. Conduit is the piping that connects the wiring between the solar panels and the inverter. When energy is produced by your solar panels, it is channeled through this conduit to the inverter (which is often stored in a garage or basement). Within the inverter, the energy is converted into Alternative Current (AC) power that can power all of your standard home appliances and outlets.
Typically, solar installation companies run this conduit atop the roof of a home, creating bright white and silver lines to distract from the home’s natural beauty. But why do solar companies do this? Because the installation is shorter and easier this way. Although crucial to the functionality of solar panels, this conduit creates a massive eyesore that impacts the aesthetics of a home, so we do our best to hide it as much as possible.
We highly value maintaining your home’s natural aesthetics and curb appeal, which is why we use a unique installation process; our clean-wire installation process removes these distracting conduit lines. In most cases (about 95% of the time), Solaris can hide conduit through an attic, garage, or any other space where the wiring is internally and externally out of sight. We always take the extra time to wire your home as cleanly as possible. This way, wires or conduit won’t distract from your roof’s sleek exterior. Solaris goes above and beyond during solar panel installation to ensure that your home remains beautiful. As a premium solar company, we are committed to taking extra steps to ensure that you are entirely satisfied with your installation, aesthetics included.
