Solar is a smart investment

When you purchase a solar energy system, it’s like buying 30-45 years of energy at a fixed, predetermined cost locking in power at a fraction of the current charges and preventing future rate hikes. And since solar power offsets utility power, your savings will double every 10 years if PG&E’s rates increase at their historic average of 6.7%.

Increase your property value

Investing in well designed solar system adds lasting value to your home.  According to a study published in The Appraisal Journal, it found that solar systems add $20,000 in value for each $1,000 in annual energy savings.  That means that if your current utility bill is $200, your home will increase in value by $24,000 to $60,000—none of which is subject to property tax in California.

Decrease greenhouse gases

Solar energy reduces the impact on the environment.  Solar energy offsets the amount of electricity you draw from the grid, decreasing greenhouse gases emitted.  Unlike other sources of energy, solar produces no harmful byproducts and it is a completely renewable resource.
