Solar Power

Times Have Changed…

Since the beginning of 2011, solar module prices have dropped roughly 40%. Overproduction, increased competition, a worldwide economic slowdown and expiration of solar incentives have forced prices down. Prices are so low, some companies (manufacturers and installers) are selling solar at cost to keep their doors open and to move inventory. Be careful! These are some of the same companies that are offering 10 year warranties. Make sure you choose a solar company that will be around to serve your warranty.

In business for more than 40 years, we’re currently serving companies warranties that have gone out of business. There are over 288 module manufacturers and 6,400 solar modules and 77 inverter manufacturers and 877 inverters listed by the California Energy Commission? We can help you choose solar equipment backed by companies that can weather this economic climate.

The Cost of almost Everything is Increasing

Families are tightening their belts, companies are looking for better ways to be innovative while cutting costs – all the while prices around us continue to increase. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in San Diego alone, utility costs increased 4.5% on average over the past 5 years. That’s like saying a $300 bill today is equivalent to a $374 bill in 2016, just 5 years from now. For Example: If you have a roughly $300 a month bill, installing solar now could save you more than $8,900 in the next 5 years – that’s with $0 down!

If you cannot afford to purchase a solar system, you could still save every month with a $0 down lease. Your monthly payments (solar payment plus your remaining electric bill) could be less than what you’re currently paying now – with no upfront cost. Usually, your utility bill will need to be greater than $150 per month to make a solar lease work for you.
