A recent study found that approximately 46% of US homeowners have expressed interest in ditching their current energy company and going solar. However, going 100% solar is a big endeavor that can cost quite a bit up front.

One way to make the transition is to gradually implement more solar-powered devices in and around your home. A solar driveway alarm is a great place to start!

Increasing home security is one of the best ways to protect your property and your family. Using a solar-powered device to monitor your driveway activity is a simple way to give solar power a try without making a huge investment.

Read on to learn more about the benefits of installing a solar driveway alarm on your property.

Driveway Alarms Can Be Used to Protect Every Entry Point to Your Home

Because solar driveway alarms are small, affordable, and easy to install, you can use them to protect every entry point to your home. That means that you can set up your alarms to monitor both your driveway and any side or rear entrances to your home. With this kind of coverage, you can rest assured that no intruder will make it onto your property without your knowledge.

Solar Power Is Cost-Effective

Beyond having a positive impact on the environment, one of the great appeals of solar power is its cost-effectiveness. Of course, switching over to 100% solar power is the best way to see a large, long-term impact on your energy bill, but that doesn't mean that small amounts of solar power can't add up. 

Installing any piece of technology onto your property can lead to a slight increase in your electric bill. However, with solar driveway alarms, you won't see any impact on your energy bill at all.

Plus, our solar driveway alarms are available at a variety of price points, and we're certain that we have an alarm system that will suit your needs and your budget.

Solar Driveway Alarms Are Easy to Install and Use

Because solar driveway alarms don't rely on a power source that is connected to your home's electricity, they're incredibly easy to install. They're completely wireless, which means that you can install them wherever they will get the most coverage of your home's exterior--rather than wherever the nearest power source is.

In fact, most homeowners find that their solar driveway alarms are fully installed and ready to use within a matter of minutes!

Solar Driveway Alarms Work Even When the Power Goes Out

One thing that may concern homeowners setting up a security system is that power outages will disrupt their security system's function. When this occurs, your home is far more vulnerable to intruders and other unwanted visitors.

Fortunately, you don't have to worry about that when you have a solar driveway alarm. Your solar driveway alarm will remain fully functional when the power goes out, leaving you and your family protected at all times.

Solar Driveway Alarms Work When the Sun Isn't Out

Many people who are new to solar wonders what happens to their solar-powered devices when the sun isn't out. The answer is simple.

Solar driveway alarms contain lithium ion batteries that are charged by the sun. The energy received from the sun throughout the day is greater than the energy needed to keep your alarm functional. All of that extra energy is stored up in the battery system so that your alarm can continue to function after the sun goes down or on rainy days.

Our Alarms Use Dual Beam Technology to Alert You to Intruders

What happens if you have a dog that roams around in your front yard? What about the neighborhood deer that tend to wander past your property in the early hours? Are these welcome critters going to set off your solar driveway alarm?

Our driveway alarm systems rely on dual beam technology. That means that in order for the alarm to go off, someone passing through the alarm's range must trigger both beams in order to set the alarm off.

In other words, most of our four-legged friends aren't going to be tall enough to trigger the alarm system. Now, if a bear comes wandering through on its back feet, you may hear your alarm go off--but maybe that's something you'll want to be aware of, anyway!

Solar Driveway Alarms Aren't Just Perfect for Residential Property

Our alarm systems don't just cater to residential use. They are just as ideal for protecting your business or non-residential property as they are for protecting your home.

Solar driveway alarms are ideal for any outdoor application. Customers often purchase them to monitor storage lots, the traffic around trucking companies, activity in car dealership lots, and more. If your business owns the adjacent parking lot or surrounding property, a solar driveway alarm may be right for you.
