In part three or our series, Matt Ziskin, Sr. Director of Marketing discusses the payback of residential solar under different payment plans.
Like any home improvement, solar systems can vary widely in cost and size. And now, there are more payment options to make solar accessible to more homeowners. Ziskin highlights three ways to think about the financial benefits of installing solar. “Most homeowners evaluate the cost of solar in terms of how much money they will save off of their monthly utility bills, how quickly they can recoup the cost of the system with their post-solar energy bill savings, and how much they can save compared to utility electricity costs over the life of the system.”
Happy Solstice – How will your solar electric power systems work on the darkest day of the year?
In the Northern Hemisphere, our winter solstice occurs when the axial tilt of earth is farthest away form the sun. It is our shortest day and longest night of the year, when the sun’s daily maximum elevation in the sky is the lowest. Designing and sizing an off-grid power system for your shortest day and worst case weather is a best practice to insure reliable power year round.
