The Real Math

What solar actually does for your finances

Forget vague marketing claims. Here's what owning a solar system genuinely changes about the money flowing in and out of your home each month.

Many homeowners pay less per month with solar than they did before - even before any tax credit refunds hit.

  • Lowers your electric bill

    Generate your own power during the day and stop paying utility rates for kWh you produce yourself.
  • Protects you from rising rates

    Con Edison and Central Hudson rates have gone up every year. Solar locks in today's price for the next 25+ years.
  • Turns electricity into savings

    Turns electricity into savings What you would have spent on the utility bill stays in your pocket - typical payback is 6 – 8 years.
  • Pays you back via the utility company

    Net metering credits your account at full retail rate when your panels send power back to the grid.
