Energy prices in the US generally rise by 3.8% per year according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. However, in some locations, such as Houston Texas, energy rates have gone up as much as 51% over the last 5 years. This means that the average monthly power bill for a Texas homeowner ($184) could be anywhere from $221-278 in 5 years.
Home’s that are qualified for solar can generate 100% of their electricity for 20-35% LESS than your current electricity bill. You will see INSTANT savings month-to-month with NO DOWN PAYMENT and will never have to worry about rising electricity costs again.
Again this only applies to home’s that qualify. Factors that can affect a home’s qualification are as follows:
1. The home must receive adequate sunlight on the roof. Of course, this is Texas. Everyone get’s plenty of sunlight. But how much sunlight does your roof get? 6 sunlights? 7? You might be wondering how exactly we determine if the roof get’s enough light for solar panels. Solar professionals use a designing tool that uses data from satellite imaging, local weather patterns, angle of the roof and what direction it’s facing to determine if a client’s home is profitable to install a solar system. A solar system is considered profitable (for the homeowner) if it’s monthly cost is lower than their current electricity bill
2. You have to own a home to purchase solar panels. Sorry to all the renters, I truly would love to provide you with clean energy at a more affordable rate, but that’s just how the law works. You can always ask the homeowner to request a quote with us.
3. Your credit score should be above 650 for Solar. It is possible to be approved below 650 with a cosigner but it’s always a good idea to check it before your solar consultation.
4. You need to have a solid structured roof to install the panels on. These panels are warrantied for 25 years. cutting edge technology can sometimes have a short lifespan but these panels are made to last. Therefore, they need to be installed on a durable enough structure. Solar professionals will check this in the site assessment.
As energy rates rise, more and more homes are becoming qualified and profitable for solar. That is why 1/3 of total United States solar has been installed in the last few years. If you have seen more solar panel systems popping up on the roofs of your neighbors homes, I urge you to ask them about their experience, and to request a free design and consultation so we can determine if you are qualified.
