Benefits of Home Solar
Save money on power
Harnessing the power of the sun is far less costly than paying the utility for power. With home solar panels you'll avoid ever-increasing utility rates, delivery and transmission fees.
Eliminate your power bill all together
When home solar is done right you won't have a power bill from the utility ever again. Also, when you own your solar outright you won't even have a power bill. You home solar system will pay for itself and then some.
Build equity in your home
Purchasing a solar system for your home in California will add value and equity to your property. Solar converts your electric bill liability into an asset that give you a return on your investment.
Protect your home from increasing utility rates
When home solar is done right you won't have a power bill from the utility ever again. Say goodbye to the utility monopoly and their yearly rate increases.
Cut your ties with the utility
When you power your home with solar panels and the sun you're minimizing your reliance on the dirty fossil fuel industry and supporting a cleaner future for all.
Use battery storage to have power when there's an outage
With home backup energy storage you can power your house throughout rolling brownouts, blackouts or when the grid shuts down for maintenance.
Take advantage of the federal tax credit
The ITC (Investment Tax Credit) for installing solar panels on your home is 26% in 2022. This is a dollar for dollar credit (equivalent to 26% of the total contract price of your solar system) on your income tax return when you file next year.
Help the environment
Solar panels produce energy for decades with no moving parts or emissions, which means cleaner air, saved water and trees.
Stop solar solicitors from knocking on your door
It's very likely that after you go solar, door to door solar solicitors will bypass your home. That's a win if you ask me.
