ORLANDO, Fla. – I’m News 6 anchor Lisa Bell, and l know budgeting your money is at the top of the list – so I was wondering the other day about solar panels for the home and whether they are worth it. I decided it was important, especially after we did some recent stories showing power companies implementing rate hikes.
If you’re wondering if now is the time is to switch to solar, I got some insight from a man who is one of the first to move into a new unique community in Osceola County where every home is built with solar panels. I thought this was a good place to find out about why homeowners are choosing solar.
I also know solar panels can be expensive to install on all homes, so when can you expect to see the savings? Well, I talked to experts in the field about what kind of impact it could have on your budget.
Right now, I’m crunching all the numbers, looking through the interviews and coming up with some answers. And hey, even if you don’t want solar panels, I’m also looking into the simple things you can do at home to save on your power bill.
