Calculate Energy StorageYellowlite's Solar Cost Calculator Helps You Determine Your Solar Costs
The initial cost of installing a solar energy system may seem high, but there are rebates and tax credits to help offset this expense. Additionally, more financing options make the cost of a solar array much more manageable.
The total savings on solar arrays will vary based on your location, average energy consumption, and electricity costs. With constantly rising energy costs, making the switch to renewable energy is a lucrative offer.
Most homeowners receive the entire solar investment back within 8-10 years—a fraction of many mortgages. Businesses see full payback in 5-7 years. Once the system pays for itself, you’ll be seeing money in your pockets year after year.
Every person’s energy needs are different, which means that investment, savings, and payoff are all unique to the customer. Thankfully, the solar panels’ cost has dropped by 20% over the past 5 years. So while we can’t give a one-size-fits-all answer, we can help you figure out how much you can save based on your energy consumption needs. It’s helpful to know a bit about each type of residential solar system available before you get started so that you can make a conscious decision about which is best for you and your unique energy situation.
