Customers serviced by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) have not been able to take advantage of solar rebates because the program was suspended in January, 2011.
Beginning September 1, 2011, LADWP will offer new rebates to reduce the cost of going solar.
I love getting emails like this. This came from a Thousand Oaks customer who is thrilled with his new solar system and wanted to update his friends and family:
Begin FWD Email:
Family and friends, The solar array went live (briefly) today ! ! ! ! ! !
This customer had solar on his bucket list: he had thought about going solar for years! Recently, a painful round of LDWP rate increases provided the catalyst to pick up the phone and get the ball rolling.
The customer is environmentally minded and wanted to do his part – as well as insulate himself from future utility rate hikes. The appealing ROI on a solar installation, along with the green aspects of going solar was a double win for the customer.
The Sunday Family in Palm Desert wanted to install a solar electric system for quite some time. Like many other families in the Coachella Valley, the Sundays were concerned about rising utility bills. A solar system would provide a viable solution for the Sundays to both lower their energy bills and insulate them from further rate increases.
Solar Misperceptions – Part Three: Does a Solar Investment Pay Off?
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.”
