Payback Period or Breakeven for most systems in just 3 to 8 years!
Lower Electric Bill
Save Money – Even if you have a $200, $300, $400, $500, $600 per month electric bill you could bring that down to only $5.17 per month or about $0.17/day !
With Net Metering the utility company buys back unused electricity at Full Retail Price to reduce your electric bill.
And since the utility company bills you on a Tiered Electric Rate structure, this means that the
most expensive electricity is the first electricity the utility buys back at Full Retail Price when you have a Solar Electricity System.
Pay for only for the electricity that you actually use minus the amount your new solar electricity system generates.
Your Electric Meter May Actually Run Backwards During the Day!
Imagine having an Electric Bill of Only $0.17 Per Day!
Protection from Rising Electric Rates
Protect yourself from inflation and rising electricity prices – It’s like locking in your electricity rate at today’s prices!
Government Pays for About One-Third of Entire Price
Make the government pay for about one-third of the entire price – With rebates and tax incentives the government pays for about one third (33%) of your entire system price.
The State of California offers Rebates to offset the cost of your new Solar Electricity System. These are typically in the “thousands of dollars” range. They can be paid as a lump sum when your system is first installed (EPBB) or paid out over 5 years as your system produces electricity (PBI).
There is a Federal Tax Credit of 30% of the TOTAL system cost.
Increased Home Value & More Attractive to Buyers
Increase the property value of your home without increasing your property taxes – It has been estimated that your property value will increase by 20x the annual savings from a solar electric system. This means a savings of $1000 per year in electricity bill translates to a $20,000 increase in home resale value. This can be a very substantial! Very often the value added by a solar photovoltaic system is higher than the cost of the entire system after considering the state rebates and federal tax credits. And by law, this increase in value does NOT increase your property taxes!
Having a Solar Electricity System is a great incentive for someone looking to buy a home (in case you ever decide to sell your home). This is more true than ever in times like now when it is a difficult market for sellers.
Would you rather buy a home with solar electric or one without it?
How much extra would you pay for a house with a PV system installed?
Pride of Ownership
What will your neighbors and friends say when you show them your meter running backwards and a $5.17/month electric bill?
Be the talk of your neighborhood. Be proud that you are making a difference and saving money
Imagine how you’ll feel when you show off your new system
Right Thing To Do
