Do you own a home in California but you pay monthly RENT for your electricity?
Over the past five years, electricity prices have soared across the U.S., particularly in California, as extreme weather fueled by climate change has increased energy demand. Record-high temperatures have kept us indoors cranking up our air conditioners which adds to the burden. According to Yahoo finance, California has seen a 47.8% increase in electricity prices during this period. Aging utility grid infrastructure is the main cause of wildfires in our state and the utilities lean on the ratepayers to update the grid. The cost of energy continues and will continue to escalate. Many people are seeing monthly electric bills that exceed their house payment.
Why Owning Your Energy with Solar is a Smart Investment for Homeowners
If you own a home, it will always make sense to own your energy generation, stop renting power! Even with the changes to the investor-owned utilities net metering policies, going solar is still a very wise investment. In fact, every penny that home-owners spend on their electric bill will see a ZERO return on investment. However, if you invest in a solar PV system plus batteries to power your home, you will get a 100% return on that investment in less than a decade.
