Solar power is dependable, less costly and better for the environment
- The most abundant power available: Enough sunlight strikes the US in one hour to power the world for a year.
- Own your power: By generating your own power, you are not subject to the volatile electric utility market.
- The cheapest power: Solar energy costs a fraction of the cost/unit of an electric utility.
- Reduce—even eliminate your electric bill: When your utility meter spins backward, you build credit at the same rate the utility company is charging you—driving your electric bill toward zero.
- A tremendous investment: Solar is a long-term, high yield and low risk way to invest in your future.
- Helps reverse global warming & secures our nation’s energy: Even small solar systems have a significant environmental and homeland security impact. Reduce your consumption of fossil fuels, decrease pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and help reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign energy sources.
- You profit even when financing your installation: Loan payments are typically lower than what you pay for electric utility power. Financing is usually obtained through a home mortgage or home equity credit. A solar system increases the value of your property—especially as utility rates continue to rise.
- Generous rebates and tax incentives: The California Solar Initiative offers a rebate amounting to 20-30% of the total system cost.
