Thinking about going solar? Here are a few reasons why you might want to:
- You can completely or partially offset your utility bill. On a tiered meter, like PG&Es typical residential rates, a partial offset can save large amounts of money by keeping the usage down in the lower tiers. As the month goes on with a tiered meter, you pay more and more for you power, based on how much you use. Offsetting half the usage saves substantially more than half the money.
- There are incentives in the form of rebates and tax credits offered by both state and local governments to help you get a utility-tied solar system, covering about half the cost.
- 30% Federal Tax Credit
- You can “freeze” your utility rates where they are by offsetting your power bill fully. PG&E has historically raised rates 6.7% annually.
- Solar electric systems increase the value of your home with non-taxable green equity.
- You can purchase a solar system without changing your monthly budget. The solar system can be financed in a way that sets your monthly payments equal to previous utility bills.
- It’s good for the environment. Solar electricity produces no emissions after the initial production of the components. A solar system silently produces electricity any time the sun shines on it.
- A solar system does not require fuel or re-charging to produce power. The solar modules are not “used up” as they produce power, so they last a very long time (warrantied for 25 years).
