Solar Economics

Increasing energy costs are a burden to home and business owners alike, and there is no sign of relief as the cost of fuels increases as their availability declines. Solar energy is not only abundant but also more affordable than ever. It just makes sense to take advantage of the reasons to produce your own electricity rather than continuing to “rent” your power from the local utilities.

How a Solar Investment Works for You

• Freeze your electricity rate at the current level – or less – for thirty years. Since deregulation, Texas’ electricity prices have jumped nearly 40%, and anticipated “Time Of Use” charges will send them even higher.
  
• The pre-tax return on investment in most cases averages 10-15%. Much higher and safer than conventional investment returns, which are taxed.
  
• Every $1 reduction in yearly energy savings will relate to a $20 increase in the value of your property, according to the National Appraisal Institute, without any increase in your property tax appraisal.
  
• Much lower utility costs will increase the resale appeal of your property, should you decide to sell.

The money you currently spend each month for electricity is money that you could be using for other priorities such as savings, vacations education or retirement planning. And controlling utility costs should be a part of any retirement planning program. We are all going to continue to use electricity, and more than likely we will depend on it more and more in the future. Why not invest in your own power source that will give you control over your future electricity costs? Here’s how you can take control:

The cost of your solar installation will be determined by the amount of equipment and installation labor required to provide the amount of solar power needed to offset a portion, or all, of your current use. This initial cost is reduced by the amount of incentives that are available to help with a solar installation for home or commercial use. Information on the incentive programs is available at www.dsireusa.org. We will be happy to assist you with questions about incentive programs.
