Estimate How Much Can You Save With Solar

We get asked, “How much do solar panels save?” every day. While yes, you will either greatly reduce or eliminate your electric bill, determining your total solar savings is influenced by several other factors, including how you finance your solar system; whether you take advantage of tax incentives such as the 30 percent federal investment tax credit; how much you currently pay for electricity and whether you plan to sell your home.

In general, the more photovoltaic (PV) solar energy you produce, the less electricity you have to buy from your utility company. That means your solar savings start as soon as your solar system is activated.

SunPower New Jersey customer Paul Devoy was spending $2,200 a year on electricity. After he went solar he often had just a $2.83 monthly service fee. He points out: What other home investment actually pays you money? A kitchen remodel? No.

“You tell me an investment that you can do that actually is going to pay you money,” Devoy said. “(With a solar system) I can calculate exactly what I’m getting back.”

He’s so satisfied, in fact, that he’s now putting a SunPower system on his new home.
