Solar Panel Installation

Overview

Greg

Sonoma, CA

Nestled in the heart of Sonoma, Greg decided to install a solar system with Simply Solar to avoid paying high electricity bills. Greg’s solar roofing installation will generate 93% of his electric needs and he will only pay $9.29 a month for electricity!

In the first year, he will see approximately $1,520 in savings which will only increase over time. In 25 years, Greg will see well over $80,000 dollars in savings, simply on his electric bill. Not only will the system save him money, but he will see a return on investment in 7 years!

With LG solar panels, Greg is covered by their outstanding manufacturer’s warranty, as well as Simply Solar’s workmanship warranty. In other words, he will have a reliable and industry-leading solar panel system for more than 25 years!

Solar Installation Benefits

Incentives

Explore Benefits

Quick Payback Period

The industry average for a return on investment (ROI) is around 5 to 7 years. In Greg’s case, he will see the system pay for itself in approximately 7 years!
This ROI may even lower due to the anticipated electricity rate increases.

Increased Property Value

Not only will Greg see a return on investment in 7 years, but he will see an immediate increase in his property value. For every kilowatt, the property value is increased by about $6,000 dollars! Meaning that Greg has improved his property value approximately by $24,000!

Savings
Summary

In the first month, Greg saw immediate savings after installing his 4.02 kW solar system. His once high PG&E bill has disappeared and is now paying less than $10 a month for electricity. Based on our calculations, Greg is anticipated to save over $83,000 in the next 25 years!

Environmental Impact

Over the lifetime of Greg’s solar system, he will have helped the environment greatly. His solar system will have an environmental impact equivalent to 4,280 trees planted, 140,063 miles driven, and 192 people’s trash! Greg is now saving money and the environment!
