Power your life with the power of the sun.
Remember when you were young and your parents constantly told you to turn off the lights when you left a room? Although it seemed ridiculous at the time, you now know that high electricity bills can be a harsh reality.
Today, more and more people are turning to solar to save money on lighting up their outdoor areas. The process of replacing traditional outdoor lights with solar alternatives is an easy, affordable way to cut down on monthly expenses while adopting an environmentally friendly lifestyle.
Of course, product research and installation take time and energy, so many people wonder if solar lights are worth the hassle. To help push you in the right direction, we’ve developed this quick guide to show you how much you can save with outdoor solar lighting. We’ll also provide some suggestions for products to use when replacing your current outdoor lighting.
Did you know that a traditional outdoor lighting installation typically costs homeowners $25 per month in electricity? At $25 per month, that’s $300 of your hard-earned money spent every year illuminating your outdoor living space. For homes and properties with a lot of space to light up, this expense will be even larger.
While there is no price on the security and enjoyment of your family and property, it’s worth noting that running your exterior lights can cost $1,000 or more every 2-3 years.
While energy-efficient LEDs have helped drastically reduce these costs, utility bills have risen by over 40% nationally in the past 15 years, with no real signs of stopping. With this in mind, even the most efficient LEDs will bear a significant cost annually.
Luckily, there is an alternative that will provide you with beautiful, functional outdoor lighting without a single monthly cost: solar lighting!
Although this is obvious, most people do not take advantage of the fact that sunlight is free.
Once you invest in a solar-powered product, there are no operating costs and of course, no monthly charges. You will of course have to pay the upfront cost to purchase new solar lights, but having zero electrical costs typically allow outdoor solar lighting systems to “pay for themselves” in as little as a month.
High quality outdoor solar lights typically last up to five years. Compared to the ordinary electricity costs outlined above, this means that freely operating solar lights have the potential to save you thousands of dollars throughout their lifespan.
Like taxes and death, many people think paying their electric bill is simply a part of life. Although this is true for many of us, there are still several ways to dramatically reduce monthly electricity costs with solar lifestyle products.
Inside of your home, most costs associated with heating your interior can be eliminated with high-quality insulation alongside energy-efficient windows and appliances. Outside of your home, outdoor lighting can be replaced with lights powered by the sun.
The best way to slash your outdoor electric bills is by switching your electric-powered outdoor lights to solar lights. Here are some next steps:
