Cost and Benefits of a Residential Solar Energy System

« How Residential Solar Works Rebates & Tax Credits »
 

What Does It Cost?

On average, a solar electric system for your home will range from $10k-$20k after rebates and incentives (which can save 50% or more of the cost). A solar hot water system which is designed to reduce your utility bill can range from $2k-$4k.

Balanced Energy will gladly evaluate both systems with you. Contact us today for a free quote.

What Is The Value?

Drastically Reduce Your Utility Bill

Your solar system will drastically reduce your electric costs. In some states, the power company will actually credit you for extra electricity you produce and transmit back to the grid. When this happens, your meter actually spins backwards! It’s a really empowering thing to watch.

Stabilize Your Monthly Expenses

The cost of electricity continues to rise. By generating your own power and/or hot water with solar, you can stabilize your utility costs and insulate yourself from future rate hikes. The sun, to the best of our knowledge, has no plans to charge you.

Increase the Value of Your Home

Solar is an investment that increases the marketability and adds to the resale value to your home. For each $1 you save in electric costs annually, your home jumps $20 in value, according to a study from the Appraisal Institute.

Positive Return On Investment

With new incentives and good solar conditions, after-tax returns for solar can be 15%-25% with payback in 2-3 years for solar hot water and in as few as 5 years for solar electric. Solar is one of the few things you can purchase that pays for itself and then keeps on giving for years to come.

Sell Excess Power to the Utility Company

In some states, the utility company credits you for electricity you create but don't use. This is referred to as net metering and your meter literally spins backwards! Balanced Energy will help arrange this if available in your market.

Minimal Maintenance

Solar systems have no moving parts, so there is very little ongoing maintenance required. Balanced Energy solar panels carry extensive warranties and are exceptionally well made so that you don’t have to worry.
