We are often asked the question, “Is solar power affordable and right for my area?” The answer is unequivocally, “Absolutely” In the last two years solar power has both increased in efficiency dramatically while also becoming dramatically cheaper. Today’s panels will pay for themselves a minimum of 3 times before their 25 year warranty expires. Panels installed today will pay themselves off in the first 8-10 years easily.
Under a net metering billing structure you are paid for your electricity the same price that you pay for electricity. Once you make your initial investment you can watch you system pay you more and more each year as the cost of electricity continues to increase.
A common misconception of Solar Power is that you will not have electricity at night or on rainy days without expensive batteries. While it is true that battery technology is expensive, they are not necessary at all for solar power production and you do not have to leave the grid. Electricity you generate is sold back to your power company at rates comparable to what you currently pay. This is then applied against your power bill, or money in your pocket, this “Offsets” your electricity cost. As a result you continue to draw electricity from the grid, but you are trading your electricity for theirs, effectively reducing your bill by as much as you care to install, in some places you can even turn a profit!
There are many contractors that can install solar panels on your property. We give our partner contractors a leg up through access to a team dedicated to streamlining the process. Parasol provides engineering, support, and training to our partners. In addition we handle the various filings with the power company, the local municipalities, and any requirements that might otherwise hinder the process. As a result, we take pride in enabling our contractors to get solar panels installed and operating on your property 6-8 weeks from the time your agreement is made. This time line beats the industry standard while also being more cost effective for our customers by simplifying the installation process for the contractor saving time. Parasol cares about every step of the process along the way from distribution, to installation, to ensuring your system functions properly for years to come.
