Full System Purchase
Relax as electrical rates increase…
Guarantee yourself a low, fixed, electrical rate for the next 30 years.
Our network has been selling solar panels since 1978, when the price was well over $100 per watt. 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.
Historically, your utility has raised electrical rates an average of 7% annually. While a Full System Purchase may seem expensive at first, when you look at the real numbers over time it seems a lot more reasonable. Following is an overview of the costs associated with purchasing a solar system. The upfront installation costs are far cheaper in the long run than paying increasing electrical rates, and the value of your home increases more than the cost of the system with no additional property tax assessments. Systems typically pay for themselves in 5-8 years, at which point all your energy is FREE and renewable.
Here’s how it works.
The net cost of your solar system will be determined by 3 variables:
The following examples reflect the cost of solarizing an average home, which for us is about a 5 kilowatt DC solar system in California. Depending on your electricity usage, this can either offset 100% of your bill or a majority of the most expensive electrical rate tiers.
How does this compare with the $100,000 you would pay to your utility company over 25 years? An incredible deal!
