WHY GO SOLAR?

REDUCE YOUR ELECTRICAL UTILITY BILL

When you have your own solar power, your electrical utility bill reduces considerably. The amount of savings is based on the size of the solar system and your electricity usage.  You will still draw some power from the utility grid, but at a lower-priced rate tier. Lifetime Solar will design a system that's right for you and determine the optimal utility rate structure for your remaining energy needs.

SELL EXCESS POWER BACK TO YOUR ELECTRICAL UTILITY PROVIDER

When your solar system generates more electricity than your home can immediately use, your excess power flows back to the utility grid and your meter literally spins backward! Most utility companies will pay or credit you for this electricity.  Your solar system produces the most electricity during the middle of the day, during Time of Use "peak" hours when the utility rates are at their highest. This is to your advantage, because you can sell excess electricity at high peak rates in the afternoon, and buy electricity back at lower "off-peak" rates at night. You buy low and sell high! This is referred to as net metering.  Lifetime Solar will help you take advantage of the Rate Schedule.

SHIELD YOURSELF FROM UTILITY INFLATION RATES

When you switch to solar power, you are hedging against rising utility rates. You can stay in your lower tiered base rates, assuring predictable electricity costs for years into the future. As utility rates continue to rise, your savings will grow every year.

HASSLE-FREE INDEPENDENCE
With no moving parts to wear down or break, solar power systems offer years of trouble-free use. Solar panels make no noise and emit no pollution whatsoever. Solar power reduces your dependence on non-local energy sources and helps you control your energy costs no matter what’s going on in global energy markets.

ENVIRONMENTALLY SAVVY
Photovoltaic (PV) systems emit absolutely zero greenhouse gases. A typical three-kilowatt residential solar system keeps almost two tons of CO2 (carbon dioxide) out of the atmosphere each year.  A solar power system requires just 2 to 3 years to generate the same amount of energy used in its production.  40 percent of all CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel burning result from the generation of electricity.

SAFE AND SOUND FINANCIAL INVESTMENT
Electric utility prices are widely expected to continue their inexorable rise, but making the sun your own power source will help protect you from rate hikes for 25-35 years or more.  With incentivesand federal tax credits, you can significantly lower the initial cost of your PV system and reduce the time it takes to earn back your investment.  In today's uncertain financial world, investing in solar power makes even more sense. The return on your money will only grow over time, your investment is virtually risk-free, and installing solar power increases the value of your property. How many investments today can make these claims?
