The Financial Case for Solar

The Financial Case for Solar

  • Secure your energy independence and own your power, don’t rent it from the utility! Lock in your electricity rates for decades to come –utility company rates have been steadily increasing by about 6.3% a year, with a 30% jump in the last three years alone.
  • Make a sound investment. The pre-tax IRR (internal rate of return) over the next 25 years in most cases averages around 15-25% — far better and far safer returns on your money than the stock market, bond market, money markets, and long-term CDs.
  • Increase your home's value by $20 for every $1 reduced in annual utility bills, according to the National Appraisal Institute, without an increase in your property taxes. 
  • The average homeowner can expect a 5-7 year payback on the investment of solar.
  • Even a small amount of solar on your home will make a huge difference, by eliminating the use of higher priced energy first.
