How Much Do Solar Panels Cost?

When you install solar panels on your home or business, you reduce the amount of electricity you need to buy from the utility company. Following the installation of a solar electric system, it’s not uncommon for electric bills to go from, say, $200 a month to absolutely nothing! A 5-6 year pay-off with ZERO DOWN financing means you will be generating FREE electricity in a few years! Solar means real money and reliable savings.

Increase Your Property Value

You own your home. Why are you renting your energy? Generate your own energy rather than giving your money to a utility. During the day any solar power generated by your system that is not used within your home is routed to the utility grid for credit with the utility. When your solar power system sends excess power to the utility your meter actually spins “backwards” which generates credits on your account. As a solar power owner you will be considered a “customer generator” by the utility and the utility is required, by law, to purchase any excess solar power your system produces until your bill is eliminated.

The cost of a solar power system is a fraction of what you will pay the utility over the years. Currently, you are throwing money away by sending the utility a check month after month, year after year. Each year, each season, utility rates increase. Stop the cycle. Install a solar power system and free yourself from burdensome electricity bills. Turn your electricity into an asset, rather than a liability.

According to the Appraisal Journal, any improvement to a home that saves money on electricity expenditures increases property value by a ratio of 20:1. This means every dollar saved on electricity expenditures on an annual basis increases your property value by $20. So, if you save $1000 a year on electricity expenditures with your solar power system, your property value will increase by $20,000. Sound too good to be true? Well, think of it like this: You have the option of purchasing two homes, one that has no electric bill or one that will cost thousands per year to live in. The choice is simple. Also, according to the State Law, any increase in property value due to your solar power system is exempt from property taxes. You can’t lose with solar power.

Help the Environment

Every time a light bulb is turned on, a hairdryer is run, an air conditioner kicks on, or a computer is in operation your utility is burning natural gas, oil, coal, or creating radioactive waste to generate the power needed. These sources of energy have damaged our environment by clouding our skies, warming the planet, and polluting our waterways. Our current means of generating energy is antiquated and needs to be scraped. Every solar power system installed helps us break this cycle of use and pollute. A solar power system generates power by converting sunlight into electricity. There are no emissions or pollution. Solar is clean, reliable, renewable energy. Help break the cycle. Help free us from fossil fuels.

Help our Country

Our country has become dependent on fossil fuels to generate electricity. This dependency has caused us great difficulties over the years and will continue to do so in the years to come if we do not change our ways. Be part of the solution. By installing a solar power system you will be doing your part to reduce the stranglehold fossil fuels have on our country. Declare energy independence with Smart Source Energy.
