The benefits of your new solar electric system
1. Help the environment
With your solar power system you will reduce your footprint on the environment.
As shown in the graph below, a typical household’s electricity consumption results in
an emission of a lot of carbon dioxide, the main cause of global warming. With a full
offset solar power system You can reduce your emissions from almost 130 tons per year
to zero.
2. Take control of your checkbook
A solar power system for your home is an investment with a good return that allows you to
lock out any future rate hikes by the power company. Based on current national trends your
power bill is increasing on average by 5%, conservatively. Considering that, you can expect
a return on your solar power system between 8 - 15% (pre-tax).
3. Property value
Your home will also increase in value while your property taxes will not
(by law - Revenue and Taxation Code or RTC, section 73). It is estimated that your
property value will increase by $20,000 for every $1,000 reduction in operating costs.
4. Help set the right example
By installing a solar power system for your home, you are setting the right example
and you are helping to change the world for the better. Your solar power system proves
you are a good steward of the environment.
