Every month, homeowners in San Luis Obispo pay their electric bills without realizing how much money they’re losing by not switching to solar.
With electricity rates always on the rise and generous incentives for renewable energy, the decision to not go solar could be costing you thousands.
Let’s break down exactly how much you could be saving and why waiting to go solar might be the most expensive decision you make.
The Rising Cost of Electricity
If you’ve noticed your electricity bills increasing year after year, you’re not alone. The average cost of electricity in California has risen steadily.
Based on the average rate per kilowatt-hour as provided by PG&E, rates are increasing by approximately 7% per year.
If you’re paying $150 per month for electricity now, over the next 15 years, your monthly payment could rise to over $380 per month!
You may end up paying over $45,000 in electricity alone during that time frame. That’s money going straight to the utility company instead of staying in your pocket.
Take Control of Your Energy Costs
Unlike fixed-rate mortgages or car payments, electricity costs fluctuate and often increase unpredictably. This makes budgeting for household expenses more challenging and puts financial strain on families over time.
Even if the upfront cost of solar seems high, flexible financing options make it more accessible than ever. With $0-down solar loans, low-interest financing, and leasing options, homeowners can switch to solar with little to no initial investment while immediately benefiting from lower electricity costs.
A.M. Sun Solar + Roofing offers a variety of solar financing options that are helping Central Coast homeowners take advantage of solar in a budget-friendly way.
The Benefits of Solar Incentives
It might seem like a major investment up front to go solar. However, some major financial incentives are available that make it far more affordable than ever:
- Federal Solar Tax Credit: The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows you to deduct 30% of the cost of your solar system from your federal taxes.
- California Solar Incentives: Depending on your location, you may qualify for additional rebates, property tax exemptions, or financing options.
- Net Energy Metering (NEM): While California has adjusted its net metering policies, homeowners can still receive credit for excess energy sent back to the grid, reducing their overall costs.
When these incentives are applied, the real cost of solar becomes significantly lower, making the return on investment even more attractive.
The worst thing you could do is miss out on potential savings by assuming solar doesn’t make sense for you. That’s why at A.M. Sun Solar + Roofing, we offer free solar consultations so you can get the full picture of if solar is right for you.
