Costs and Savings
Add Value to Your Home
A solar PV system will increase the value of your home by the pre-rebate amount of the system, without increasing your property taxes. The Real Estate Appraisal Journal
demonstrated that the property resale value of a solar system to be 20 times the annual cost of energy saved.
Solar Power is Cheaper
Investing in a solar PV system is equivalent to prepaying for 30-40 years of electricity at a fraction of the cost you currently pay. In terms of dollars-per-kilowatt-hour ($/kWh), solar energy is much cheaper than what you are charged by your utility. As utility rates continue to rise, the savings becomes greater over the life of a solar system.
Renting vs. Owning Your Electricity
Investing in solar is a way to buy your future electricity at a fraction of the cost you would pay to your utility. Generate your own power with the purchase of a clean and reliable solar energy system. Imagine if you could have purchased 30 years worth of gasoline at $0.60 per gallon in 1978? By owning a solar PV system, you can control your electric rates for the next 30 years.
Sunshine and Time
While insulation levels (amount of sunlight per square foot) can vary seasonally, solar PV generation capacity is very predictable on a long-term basis. Production models can incorporate historical utility rates to accurately estimate the financial benefits and cost/savings analysis we provide to all clients.
