› The Cost of Fossil Fuel Power
U.S. retail electricity customers have experienced a steady trend of rising prices over the past 40 years. Escalating fuel costs, construction costs, and distribution costs means this trend will most likely continue for energy generated by natural-gas and oil-fired plants, with a estimated rise by as much as 33% over the next 25 years.

› The Value of Solar Power
No fuel costs are associated with solar powered electricity, and the cost of photovoltaic systems is lower than it’s ever been. The amount of solar energy striking the earth is Substantial - here in the sunshine state, we experience an average of about 7.5kWh each day*. Solar power energy systems may seem expensive. However, government incentives and tax rebates significantly drive down the upfront capital costs. Our grid-tied customer’s have typically experienced a complete system payback within 8-10 years. And when the time comes to sell your home, a solar photovoltaic, solar hot water, or pool heating system is viewed by home buyers and realtors as a Significant Value added improvement. Use the solar power calculator below to estimate your solar PV system investment.
