The holiday season is one of the greatest times of the year. We are able to spend time with family, enjoy the beautiful winter months in our cozy homes, and reflect on personal milestones and goals from the previous year.

With so many misfortunes in 2020, many families might feel like they deserve to splurge a little bit on the most popular part of the holiday season: gift giving. While buying a new car or a massive TV might not be very realistic this year, Blue Raven Solar is giving the gift that never stops giving back.

Solar, a Great Family Gift

Solar is a present that will make every family member happy. For starters, kids love solar because it “magically” generates electricity from the sun.

Naturally, children will be inclined to learn more about these power producing panels, which becomes a fantastic way to teach clean energy habits and help future generations protect the planet. Teenagers love solar because it means that they can power up their phones, laptops, and video game consoles for hours of daily screen time without driving up the price of their parent’s electricity bill.

With more time to connect online and less complaints from parents about power usage, teens are bound to be happy with their parents’ solar purchase! Spouses or partners will love a solar holiday surprise because it saves money!

Not only will it put money back into their pocket, but it will become the talk of the neighborhood. With neighbors asking questions about their new solar purchase, spouses will be able to refer their friends and make some extra cash with our referral bonus program ($250 per referral).

Lastly, solar is also an amazing gift for you, the buyer, because it benefits the whole family. Your little kids, teenagers, and spouses or partners will love the new system for years to come!

Solar Puts Money back in Your Pocket

Eighteen months of free solar isn’t the only way you’ll be able to save this holiday season and for decades of holiday seasons to come! Because solar relies on the sun, many of our solar systems overproduce electricity in the summer months.

Utilities companies have taken notice to this trend and have established net metering programs. These programs gift homeowners whose solar systems overproduce with energy credits. These energy credits can be used during the less sunny winter months and ensure that homeowners will rarely have to pay their utility company more than their monthly $5-$10 connection fee. In some states, these “gifts” can be sold back to the utility company for cash at the end of the month or year.

Typically, the savings from our solar systems pay themselves off in 6-8 years from the date of the original purchase. By owning your solar system, all of that saved cash will go directly back into your wallet and can be distributed to other parts of your family’s budget.

Give a Gift to the Planet & a Great Charity

With the commercialization of the holiday festivities in the 21st century, it is easy to get distracted by expiring deals and shiny new toys. We often forget about the importance of spending and cherishing time with family, cultural traditions, and giving thanks for all that we are so fortunate to have.

Going solar reminds homeowners to love and respect the planet. Not only will homeowners significantly reduce their carbon footprint by going solar, but they will also be reminded to seek to develop other eco-friendly habits. Every step towards a greener planet helps, which is why the most fulfilling aspect of being a solar company is knowing that we’re giving back to our planet.

Another way in which we give back is through helping less fortunate communities. In recent years, Blue Raven Solar has developed a strong partnership with the Givepower foundation through their GivePartner program.

This nonprofit organization builds solar-powered desalination water farms that produce up to 70,000 liters of clean water per day for communities in areas that do not have access to clean water. With every Blue Raven installation, we give $20 to GivePower, and that $20 donation provides one person with access to clean water for at least 20 years. Thus, going solar in 2020 is one of the best gifts you can give yourself, your family, the planet, and under-served communities.
