Let's go ahead and cut to the chase and address the question we always hear first...
"How much is this going to cost me?"
We'll do our best to answer that question here with some factual information and some examples:
Cost of PV systems have been decreasing since 2013 and are extremely affordable to the average consumer of today. The market has shifted to the advantage of the consumer and the demand has surpassed the supply. This market shift that has lead to the cost advantages of the consumer is due to the rise in popularity, advances in solar technology, rapidly increasing demand and domestic and foreign competition in manufacturing.
Financing Options allow you to replace your $200 electric bill with a $200 low interest rate loan payment. These great financing terms are how you create the 'Return on Investment' (ROI). in 7-14 years your system will be payed in full and your electricity will be free.
Return on Investment out performs most peoples investment portfolios. The picture above shows you the facts of the math behind the ROI. We will break it down into more detail for you once we do a site visit to identify your eligibility and your unique needs.

The question should be how much will it cost me if I don't buy a Solar Electric Producing PV system?
- Multiply that $2400 plus the utility companies average annual rate increases of 2.1% (EIA Source Link Here) by how many years you will own your home or business add in the utility companies
- First 7-14 years when financing your PV system = $2400 annually until it's payed for and you own it. This eliminates your electric bill, and does not have a rate increase (based on wattage used equal to or less than your system produces).
- While you are making fixed payments towards your system and freedom from the utility company, your neighbors annual bills will look like this.
The figures below are only examples and are not to be used for any other purpose.

Neighbors Without Solar PV Systems
Utility Company Bills (Annually with a monthly bill of $200) Year ~ Rate Increase ~ Annual Bill
These monthly bills will never go away and will only continue to increase. They will always be at the mercy of the utility company and subject to the ever rising cost and environmental impacts of today. |
Your Solar PV System Producing Free Energy
Your Payment & Savings Years 1-10 (10 year loan term) Year ~ Payment ~ Savings
Unless you make a change you'll be paying some utility company executive's 6 figure salary for the rest of your life. We can help you make that change and liberate your family from the other side of this table |
- Once you've payed off the 10 year loan you'll own it and your annual payment of $2400 goes away.... You can do the math on that and those returns are huge.
- There are some other factors (Financing Interest Rate, Credit Score, Loan Terms) that need to be added to these calculations . We will be able to determine those factors once we meet with you to give you a free evaluation, needs analysis and cost breakdown. Use the link below to schedule an appointment.
Thanks to innovations in financing, manufacturing and technology, it's now easier and more affordable than ever to go solar. In fact, solar energy is actually cheaper than traditional power in many markets across the country. For most customers, the savings start on day one and tend to increase over time. The best part? All of our financing products include a $0 down payment option. That means you can switch your home over to clean, renewable solar energy today and pay nothing upfront. So no matter which option you decide is best for you, the result will be the same: clean energy for your home and more money in your pocket for the things you really care about.
Costs of Solar Photovoltaics
Modern Photovoltaics- The cost of PV has dropped dramatically as the industry has scaled up manufacturing and incrementally improved the technology with new materials. Installation costs have come down too, with more experienced and trained installers. However, the U.S. still remains behind other nations that have stronger national policies to shift energy use from fossil fuels to solar. Globally, the U.S. is the fourth largest market for PV installations behind world leaders Germany, Japan and Spain.
Most modern solar cells are made from either crystalline silicon or thin-film semiconductor material. Silicon cells are more efficient at converting sunlight to electricity, but generally have higher manufacturing costs. Thin-film materials typically have lower efficiencies, but can be simpler and less costly to manufacture. A specialized category of solar cells - called multi-junction or tandem cells - are used in applications requiring very low weight and very high efficiencies, such as satellites and military applications. All types of PV systems are widely used today in a variety of applications.
