Electricity bills are a major expense for California home and business owners, especially in Northern California. Solar energy system owners will enjoy decades of significantly lower electricity bills or even eliminate their electricity bill altogether. With a lifespan of 25-30 years, a solar power system offers more than just clean energy; it saves you money.

In many cases, a solar system can produce all the electricity your home will need to function properly, eliminating your energy bill altogether. In some cases, you can even gain credits from your electric company. The American renewable energy and efficiency act protects the homeowner from utility companies acting fraudulently with the energy they’ve purchased from the homeowner’s solar power production.

Not only can you eliminate your energy bill, but you can get paid by the utility company, which means if at any point your solar power system needs maintenance or accrues damage from a natural disaster, you can use the credit towards utility grid energy use.
