Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I save with solar panels?
The average US homeowner saves $1,500 per year with solar panels. Your actual savings depend on your electricity rate, system size, sun exposure, and whether your utility offers net metering.
What is net metering?
Net metering allows you to sell excess solar electricity back to the grid at the retail rate. When your panels produce more than you use, your meter runs backward, giving you credits on your bill.
Do solar savings increase over time?
Yes. Electricity rates typically increase 2-3% per year, which means your solar savings grow over time. Over 25 years, this compounding effect can significantly increase your total savings.
