Economics of Solar

article_solarchartSolar electricity is truly one of the best ways to combat rising costs of energy. Did you know the average homeowner will spend more than $100,000 on electric bills over 25 years? By fixing your electricity rates, or even eliminating them altogether, you'll be enjoying the savings for years to come.

Wondering about the upfront cost? Solar is now affordable and available all home owners! We’ve been making solar simple and accessible to everyone for over 30 years. If you’re looking to go solar, we offer two cost-effective solutions to meet to the needs of every homeowner.

1) Solar as a Service

    $1000* to start up and lock in low electricity rates for 18 years in CA
    (20 years in CO).
  • Avoid electricity rate increases.
  • Enjoy solar as an electric service rather than owning your system.
    You simply pay a lower monthly rate and leave the system maintenance
    to us.

2) Solar for Purchase

  • The cost of owning a solar electric system purchase has dropped almost 50% since 2008.
  • Reduce or eliminate your bill entirely, with an investment return of 10-25%.
  • Avoid electricity rate increases.

Today, with tremendous momentum towards a clean renewable energy future that cost has seen a 97% drop! What this means for you is that you'll be guaranteeing yourself a low, fixed, electrical rate for the next 30 years, over which time we all know electrical rates from the utilities will be sharply increasing.
