The energy industry is abuzz with solar. Every day, solar seems to be in the news or popping up in ads on social media, but how practical is solar to the everyday energy consumer? The solar energy industry is becoming increasingly complex. What was once a cost-effective method to invest in renewable energy has since devolved into a system of bureaucratic red tape where utility companies try to punish solar users at every twist and turn. With newly imposed fees on selling excess electricity back to the grid and months (even years in some states) long waiting lists for solar installation, many energy consumers are turning to plug-in solar panels to generate their own electricity, reduce the cost of their monthly utility bill, and achieve energy independence. To find out if plug-in solar panels are worth it, continue reading below.
Plug-in Solar vs. Traditional Solar
While traditional solar offers users entirely renewable grid-free energy consumption, it’s not for everyone. As solar has become more readily accessible and advanced, utility companies have fought tooth and nail to regulate it into oblivion. The first major drawback of traditional solar panels is the cost of installation. Traditional solar installation costs can range anywhere from $3,500-$35,000, making solar a renewable energy pipe dream for many low and middle household income families. Plug-in solar, on the other hand, is an affordable way for homeowners and even renters to invest in clean, renewable energy and save money on their monthly utility bills, with a total cost of around $2,000.
Plug-in Solar isn’t Just for Homeowners
While solar installation is a lengthy installation process for homeowners, plug-and-play solar is as simple as online shopping. Get your home solar kit delivered to your door and set the app, your panel, and the battery on your own, with easy-to-understand instructions and no costly installation or permits needed. Plug-in solar isn’t just for homeowners. Renters can also take advantage of the cost-saving benefits that plug and play solar. If your utilities aren’t included in your rent, then a plug-and-play solar kit could save you thousands of dollars on your electricity cost. Traditional solar panel installation requires an enormous amount of space. A single plug-and-play panel takes up the same amount of room as a lounge chair, making solar accessible for renters and homeowners alike. With Craftstrom’s plug-and-play solar kit, you can turn a studio apartment with a balcony into your self-generating home.
