In fact, between 10% and 30% of a home’s typical energy costs can be traced to energy leaks that could have (and should be) sealed. Fixing air leaks doesn’t have to be complicated and sufficient [home insulation](https://www.firstqualityroof.com/attic-insulation/) is a likely solution.

Las Vegas is one of the sunniest cities in the country. While this causes temperatures to rise, it also proves to be a valuable resource for locals. For at least 300 days of the year, homeowners can harvest the energy of the sun and use it to power their homes in a way that's much cleaner and more efficient than virtually any other option. So, why aren't more people using [solar energy](http://www.firstqualityroof.com/)?

You may have noticed, you may have heard, and you should soon see the proof: the trend toward “going solar” by equipping homes with solar panels is finally gaining momentum. And Nevada is proving to be a national leader.

Nevada has one of the most progressive solar laws in the country, and these laws work in consumers' favor by spurring incentives that make [solar in Las Vegas](https://info.firstqualityroof.com/blog/topic/solar-energy) more affordable.

If you're considering installing rooftop solar panels on your home, you may have noticed that the line blurs between need and want.

But, if you're wondering how the installation will affect your home's value, take heart. Evidence continues to mount that a [solar energy](http://www.firstqualityroof.com/) system is one smart financial investment.

Before you do anything rash, be sure to gather all the facts. In most cases, leasing isn't the smarter choice. As Consumer Reports puts it, “Buying solar panels requires an investment and more decision-making than leasing, but over the long term the benefits of owning your system are hard to beat.”
