Economics of Solar
Solar electricity is a smart financial investment. 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.
In the past there used to be only one way to go solar—invest in a system and own it outright. As with all purchases, ownership provides the best economic return while significantly reducing or eliminating your electricity bill, but many people found the upfront installation costs too steep for their current situation. Now there is a new alternative making solar within reach for everyone: solar as a service. Now solar electricity can be a lower priced alternative to your current utility, with no upfront installation costs!
