Installing solar on your home or business is one of the best ways to save on your utilities. In a city with minimal cloud coverage throughout the year, solar systems are able to efficiently and effectively produce the energy that you need to power your life. By generating your own energy with solar, you’ll be able to offset your energy use and subsequently your reliance on the grid. By having solar installed, you’re still connected to the grid, meaning whenever you aren’t pulling energy from your solar system, you’re pulling it from the grid. Solar, when sized correctly, is capable of totally offsetting your energy use meaning you won’t be relying on the grid as much for your power.

San Diego also has the highest utilities in the entire country. Solar is the best way to combat these rates and secure the savings that you deserve. With increasing rates that don’t look like they’ll ever lower, investing in solar now is the best way to secure immediate savings for yourself, and for your future self.

When you aren’t using the utilities energy, you aren’t paying them. You can save an abundance of money by generating your own energy with solar. To receive a free solar quote, click here.

Go Solar for Tax Benefits

The federal solar tax credit is still available and an excellent incentive for going solar. By investing in and installing solar before the end of 2022, you can earn a 26 percent tax credit on your solar installation. This incentive can result in thousands of dollars’ worth of savings and shouldn’t be ignored. For San Diegan’s, this incentive is still available and will be until 2024. If you install your system by the end of 2022, you can receive the full 26 percent tax credit, however, if you wait until next year that credit will drop to 22 percent, which could be the difference of a few hundred dollars.
