Save With Solar

Saving money is one of the main reasons why homeowners love going solar.  Adding Solar panels to your home is a great long-term investment that is made even better when you add in all the savings from incentives to help you make the switch.  That means that over the lifetime of your solar panels, they will save you significant sums of money.  In fact, not only can you save money, but with the addition of a properly sized battery backup system, you can have the peace of mind knowing that during power outages you can have enough backup power to keep refrigerators running and your home heated or cooled.

why Go Solar?

There are many reasons why more and more people are going solar to power their home or business. But the most important reasons are lower prices for systems, savings on energy bills, backup power, and the personal choice to use clean energy.

Lower Prices

Solar panels have dropped in price by more than 70% over the last 10 years which is why Solar has become the cheapest way to make huge cuts to your long-term energy costs.

Savings On Energy Bills

What do you think your energy bills from the power company are going to look like in 5 years?  In 10 years?  In 25 years?  Do you think they will go down or will they be much higher than they are right now?  Ask yourself a question?  Do you want to rent your power, or do you want to own it?  That’s what you do if you don’t have solar.  When you go solar, you own your power.  And instead of paying higher and higher power bills each year, when your panels are paid for, that is money that you get to keep. And your system has a 25-year production guarantee that says that your new Northwest Solar system will keep working long after it’s been paid for.

Backup Power 

What happens if a power outage or natural disaster happens?  Is it important to you to have power to running appliances or keep your home heated or cooled?  It is to many people which is why they choose to add a battery backup system to their grid-tied solar system.  This can also help lower your energy bills even more by storing excess energy that you can then use at night when your solar panels are not producing.  

Clean Energy

Many people are making the switch to solar because they want to be a user of clean energy that helps the environment instead of using energy that is produced from coal.  Whatever your position on CO2 and global warming, everyone can agree that burning coal creates air pollutants such as mercury that are bad for the environment and bad from us and our children when they end up in our food or water. So make the choice to switch to solar and let’s give our children and grandchildren the future they deserve; a future that runs on clean energy.

How Much Can I Save With Solar?

One of the first questions we get asked by first-time solar homeowners is, “How much can I save with solar panels?”  When you meet with one of our Solar Specialists they will give you a solar savings estimate using information such as your monthly energy usage, the location and characteristics of your home, and what rates your utility charges.  Using that information your Solar Specialist will design the perfect system for you.  And not only will solar reduce your energy bills, but solar incentives like the 26% Federal Income Tax Credit*, Net metering*, and utility rebates* make the decision to go solar even easier.  There are also other incentives, depending on where you live and other factors, that can reduce the cost of your system even more which makes it more affordable than ever to go solar.

How Long Does It Take For Solar Panels To Pay For Themselves?

This answer depends on a lot of factors and can vary greatly depending on how the system is designed as well as many other factors including the quality of the panels and other system equipment.  A typical pay-off period for a financed solar system though is between 10-12 years.  What this means is that when the pay-off period is over, your solar panels produce electricity that is completely free.  And if you include a correctly sized battery backup system for energy storage along with your solar system, in most cases you can expect to have a $0 power bill for the life of your solar system.  Every situation is unique though and the only way to accurately predict your system cost, solar savings, and pay off period is to meet with one of our Solar Specialist.
