The fine print
- What this compares. Your current average power bill of $180 a month against your solar payment of $167.45 a month, over 25 years. Utility escalated at 7.5% per year, solar at 0.00% per year.
- Still connected to the grid. You are still connected to the utility grid and would be expected to pay a small fixed monthly rate, considered the standard connection fee.
- This is an estimate, not a contract. Production, rates and savings are projections. Nothing here is a guarantee.
