Solar is the New Booming Crop in Boise
The city of Boise has decided: clean, safe and renewable energy is the future. Over the past year, Boise has had hundreds of residential solar installations. Idaho solar companies want to keep the air clean and the environment flourishing. But there’s another reason people are installing solar panels systems. Boise and surrounding area homeowners are saving big on utility bills.
Solar cuts down the amount you pay for electricity from Idaho Power. You produce the electricity your home needs and the surplus energy goes back into the power grid. Solar panels free up your hard-earned money to let you head up to the Boise Mountains, never miss a game at “the blue field”, and just do more of what you enjoy.
Our solar company has been part of the effort to install over 400 MW (megawatts) of solar across Idaho. Between a 30% federal tax credit, Idaho income-tax deductions and other local Boise incentives solar has become a no-brainer for Idaho residents. We’re proud to have joined a community that is “making it easier and simpler process for businesses and homes to go solar.”

Here are the some of biggest reasons we love Boise, Idaho:

Idaho receives slightly above the average amount of sunlight that the United States receives, and if you’re considering switching to solar, you might be wondering how many panels you would need for your home and how much they will cost.
To answer this question, you first need to know your goals in going solar to get an effective answer. Are you looking to lower your monthly electricity bill? Increase the value of your home? Reduce your carbon footprint? Or charge your electric vehicle? Because the list of solar goals is endless, we know that every prospective buyer will have a unique solar solution. This is why we are committed to helping our customers discover their solar goals and providing a custom solar solution keeping them happy for years to come.
For most homeowners, the answer to this question will be simple: I want to cover the cost of my electricity bill. Other homeowners will have more complex solar goals like: I want to have enough panels to have 0 carbon emissions, or I want to sustain my energy usage during energy blackouts. Some homeowners may not even know what they want out of their system. If you fall into this category, we invite you to reflect on several questions:
By answering these three questions, you’ll discover what your solar goals are and be better situated to determine how many panels your roof will need. Now we can clearly define what our solar goals are and what other factors affect the number of panels you’ll need.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average American household uses 10,908 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year, or about 909 kWh per month. These numbers have no real significance or meaning to the average American homeowner, so let’s break it down. One kilowatt hour equals the amount of energy you would use to keep a 1000-watt appliance running for one hour.
For example, you would have to leave a 10-watt light bulb on for 10 hours in order to use 1 kWh of energy. With an average cost of 13 cents per kWh of energy in the United States, the average American household will spend $113 dollars a month on electricity. As you can see, there are thousands of dollars in potential savings by going solar!
At Blue Raven Solar, we know many homes do not fall into this “average” category. Thus, there’s not a one size fits all solution to the question: how many solar panels do I need? That is why the first step in determining how many solar panels your roof will need is knowing how much power your home uses. We always ask our customers for their latest power bills to determine how much energy their home uses. From there, we can give a quick estimate of how many solar panels they’ll need to accomplish their solar goals.

We make sure you save money in the long run by installing efficient photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, inverters, and other equipment. This also adds to your home resale value should you decide to move out of Boise.
Your solar panel system is customized for your home, budget, and lifestyle. Our Boise solar company uses modern black solar panels, which are higher quality and blend in with your roof. The solar system also includes a 25-year manufacturer warranty along with a production guarantee, a workmanship warranty, and a roof penetration warranty.
How solar energy works is a combination of technology, economics, and customer service. But it begins with the sun beaming enough energy to earth each hour to power global civilization for a year. With the right equipment, you can harness your share of it and power your life on sunlight. Blue Raven Solar combines all those into a hassle-free experience to make going solar almost as easy as flipping a switch in Boise, Idaho.
Photovoltaics, power inverters, net metering, and photons from the sun create a clean, renewable power source for homeowners. Switching to solar shrinks utility bills and your carbon emissions while boosting the value of your home.
Falling equipment prices, lucrative tax incentives, and attractive financing makes going solar more accessible to average homeowners than ever. In today’s energy market, rooftop solar often pays back its initial price in just a few years.
At Blue Raven Solar this is the heart of what we believe: our nation’s current power generation is not sustainable. As a nation, we still get over 60% of our electricity from the burning of fossil fuels.
Regardless if one believes in global warming or not, we can all agree the toxic pollution these carbon-based energy sources spew into the atmosphere is not a good thing. The simple test is this: would you like your family to live next to a coal-fired power plant?
Standard electricity is produced from fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. When burned, these fuels emit chemical gases causing pollution and harm to our environment. Fossil fuels are not only destructive to the environment, but they are also a limited resource. Solar electricity is by far one of the cleanest forms of energy.
Idaho residents are jumping at the chance to become a part of the renewable energy movement. We’re excited to help you throughout your solar journey and hope to help you make a positive impact on the environment while saving you thousands on your electricity bill!
