You’ll feel great when you get solar for your home. You’ll be pitching in to help the economy and the environment, but it will actually save you money, too. So why wait when the benefits of home solar are within reach today?
Some California homeowners delay their switch to solar because they expect the cost of solar panels to drop significantly. The truth is that even if panel prices were to fall dramatically over the next few years, it still wouldn’t be less expensive to go solar. Declining California Solar Initiative rebates have a bigger impact on the total cost of a home solar installation than incremental price improvements in solar panels. Those solar credits play a bigger role than you might think.
Unlike personal computers that get faster and cheaper constantly, solar panels are a mature technology. They haven’t changed much in recent years, and the current systems can save you money right now. Given the fact that the cost of home solar in California depends largely on the rebate currently available, the best time to go solar is right now.
