From Sanyo’s website…
Savings Every Month. A solar electric system powers your home so you can use considerably less electricity from the public utility.
State Rebates And Federal Tax Credits. Your state’s public utility rebates and the federal government’s tax credits can help pay for a substantial percentage of your system and installation.
Solar Gives You Protection Against Electricity Rate Hikes. Imagine that you had been able to lock in automobile gas prices in 2004. You’d be paying less than $2 a gallon not only today, but also for decades to come. With every gas price increase, you’d be saving even more money. That’s exactly what you’re doing with the cost of electricity when you install a solar electric system.
Because solar installation is a fixed cost, savings increase as utility rates rise. Essentially, you’re building in a hedge against future rate increases. And rising utility rates are definitely something you can count on, especially considering that they’ve gone up an average of 5% per year for the past 30 years. In 2006, some states saw the highest tier residential rates jump as much as 55% in just one year.
Solar Increases The Value Of Your Home. A solar electric system can increase a home’s value by $20,000 for every $1,000 in reduced annual operating costs.
Solar Offers You Energy Independence. By switching to solar electricity, we can help alleviate our overdependence on foreign sources. Solar electricity is used where it is made, so there are no transportation or delivery costs. Solar electricity’s price stability is also independent of the effects of natural disasters, foreign political instability or trade disputes. The supply chain extends simply from the sun to your roof.
While you are enjoying reliable solar electricity, you are also sharing that reliability with everyone else. Doesn’t it make sense that if everyone had solar electricity systems, the public power grid would be more reliable since there would be less strain on it?
Your Utility Meter Spins Backwards With Net Metering. Net metering programs in 38 U.S. states and the District of Columbia help increase your savings. With net metering, your electric meter tracks your net power usage, spinning forwards when you use electricity from the utility, and backwards when your system is generating more electricity than you need. Your local utility or www.dsireusa.org can fill you in on specific details of the net metering program in your area.
How Net Metering Works: During the day, the system “banks” any surplus on the utility grid, feeding it back to the utility and generating a credit on your bill. The more electricity you produce, the more you save. At night, the system automatically draws the electricity you need from the grid. This forwards and backwards flow of electricity is completely automatic, and provides a smooth, uninterrupted flow of power for all your household needs.
