Thousands of homeowners in California reap the advantages of solar electric systems by reducing their current and future electric costs.

You’re already paying for electricity, but what tangible benefit do you have to show for it? Become an owner, not a renter, and invest in your own green power plant.

Gain Independence from Utility Companies

California electricity rates have increased 5.5% annually since 1970. Most experts agree that electric rates will continue to climb faster than inflation. As your own energy provider, you lock in power at a fraction of the current charges and prevent future rate hikes. A solar power system will allow you to free yourself from the utility company and the instability of global energy markets.

Solar Power is Cheaper than Utility Power

Installing a solar power system is equivalent to prepaying for 40 years of power at a fraction of the cost you are currently paying. The cost/unit of energy you are currently paying is higher than what you would be paying with solar. As rates increase in the future this difference will increase, leading to even more savings over the life of the system.

The Government Pays for a Large Portion of the Cost

The state of California currently offers two financial incentives. The California Energy Commission (CEC) offers a sizable rebate. In addition you can benefit from a 7.5% state income tax credit. Together these two incentives pay for 30-40% of the total system cost.
