Does solar make sense for you?

You are reading this because you want to cut your energy costs, reduce your dependence on fossil fuels or contribute to a cleaner environment or possibly all three. We at A.C. Rimmer are committed to all of these goals. To assist you in making an informed decision ask yourself the following:

Is solar worth it?

• Do a short energy audit to see just how much energy you use. If your electric bill is less than $100 there may be other more economical options for you. A kilowatt hour not needed is the best investment of all. Have you first made energy efficiency a priority? Part of understanding solar is figuring out how much you will be saving. We can help.

 What are the figures on solar savings?

• Solar is a long term durable product with many useful years beyond payback. Hot water systems last 15-25 years, all the while saving $40-$50-$60 or more each month depending on usage – typically you save 70-96% per year on your solar water heating bill. Generally speaking, a solar panel will last 30 years or more (accelerated testing is giving us 40-42) and lose some ½ percent (0.5%) conversion efficiency annually. Hosing the panels off a few times during the summer and keeping leaves off them in the fall is about the only maintenance required.

 Have I put the cost of solar in perspective?

• An average $40,000 solar installation with just the current available incentives and rebates will have a net cost of $15,000 and produce over its life (allowing for 4.3% annual rate increase) $70,000 worth of electricity.

 Many homeowners and business owners are moving toward solar systems to heat their properties. If you’ve ever wondered whether a solar system would be a good fit for your structure, the staff at A.C. Rimmer would be happy to provide you with an evaluation.
