Residential Solar Power
Residential solar power systems are becoming more common each day. In fact: over 6,500 solar rebate reservations were received under the California solar initiative in 2007, and approximately 90% of those solar electric systems were residential. This means that every single day, about 16 home owners sign up to equip their properties with solar energy in California.
Why? Solar power saves you money.
California has some of the highest residential electrical rates in the United States: up to 37 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). As we've outline in our "financial case for solar" and "how much does solar cost", it's apparent that solar power presents a much cheaper energy solution for home owners over the long run. Solar energy is currently saving our customers a small fortune. In 2007 alone, our customers avoided a combined total of approximately $1,000,000.00 in electrical costs.
Solar energy becomes even more attractive, for home owners, when you take inflation into account. Electrical rates have risen, on average, about 6.4% annually since 1970- this means that your electric bill is likely to double over the next 10 years. A residential solar power system from Acro Electric could fix your cost of electricity for the next 30 to 40 years!
The entire solar industry has been working diligently to make solar power cost competitive with traditional utilities. Solar power's time has come. With current incentives (rebates and tax credits), we can achieve what is called "cost parity." This means that you can finance your home solar power system at the same price you are currently spending to purchase electricity from the utility company. Most of our solar customers actually spend less. Over the long run, you avoid inflating electrical costs and this translates to huge savings.
