Huge Savings with Solar

Solar can help homeowners and businesses save money in three big ways.
Picture

Immediate Savings

With a range of financing and payment options, solar can bring immediate savings on your monthly expenses. The simple truth is that if you can afford your electric bill, you can afford solar!
Picture

Price Protection

Electricity prices across the nation are rising by 4% every year.  Over 25 years, your utility company will charge you as much as four times more than the price of going solar will cost!
Picture

Free Energy

Solar panels continue to operate at high levels of efficiency even past their 25 year warranty. This means you'll be guaranteed decades of free electricity after your system is paid for.

How does price protection actually work?

The biggest benefit to solar is price protection against rate increases, but sometimes these numbers can be hard to fathom or may seem like false speculation. Below is an example using some real data showing utility rates according to national averages from the US Energy Information Administration, and the cost of solar with pricing adjusted for inflation. In this example someone purchased a solar system in 1985 with a 20 year finance.

Annual cost of solar system with 20 year finance: $1,285

Your Home Value

Picture
  • Federal tax credits will cover 26% of your new solar system, in addition to any potential local rebates. Installing solar immediately increases your home value, with thousands of dollars already being paid for!
  • According to the Texas Association of Realtors, installing solar is the best remodeling idea for homeowners in Texas. Solar has been shown by multiple studies to go straight into your home value, often times recuperating 100% or more of it's original cost if the home is sold.
  • Not only do solar homes sell for more, they often times sell faster than similar homes in the area.
  • Texas property tax codes allow for a 100% exemption of taxes related to home value increases from solar!
