Myth Debunked: Solar Energy Costs too Much.

Yes, installing a solar system in your home is an investment. However, it’s well worth it.

‍

The cost of fossil fuels is variable and increasing while the cost of technology to produce clean energy is dropping. Solar allows you to know how much you’ll be paying for electricity 15 years from now. There are a variety of financing options when you choose to install solar. To name a few: cash, loan, lease, and prepaid lease. With all of these options, you either have no monthly payment or a never-changing, low monthly payment. 

‍

Why is it so valuable to have a dependable cost from month to month? It allows you to be in control of your finances. From 2010 to 2020, the cost to power your home with non-renewable electricity increased by 14%. So what will it cost to power your home 15 years from now with fossil fuels? Whatever the utility company decides.

Switching to solar can save your family big. Trevor Higgins, senior director of Domestic Climate and Energy Policy at the Center for American Progress, compared the cost of clean energy to fossil fuels in his article “Clean Energy Will Lower Household Energy Costs”. He said, “Fossil fuels are driving up consumer energy costs, in part as a result of the industry’s exposure to the very climate disruptions it is continuing to worsen. These rising costs are yet another great reason to invest in clean energy now.” He continued by saying “Indeed, investing in clean energy would directly reduce household energy costs by an average of $500 per year, protect the economy from volatile fossil fuel markets, and slow the pace of climate disruption.” The rising cost of fossil fuels is not linear. As with anything that has a limited supply, resources will become more and more scarce and prices will continue to skyrocket.

When you switch to renewable energy, you’re already saving your family hundreds of dollars every year. Imagine how much you will save as energy costs continue to rise.
