When we meet with homeowners to help them make the switch to solar, the number one reason most people invest in solar is to save money. It’s that simple! Most solar owners enjoy making a difference to help the planet with a renewable source of green energy, but very few customers will purchase solar unless they are confident it helps them financially.
With PG&E there is a Colossal Problem. Their rates continue to substantially increase year after year… to the point of insanity. With solar the initial amount of monthly savings is not huge, but by locking in a fixed monthly payment for your solar and never receiving another price increase for electrical power from PG&E, ever again… the long term savings is tens of thousands.
Fact is… you are currently spending money on PG&E, which you will never own, that could be used to invest in owning your own solar “power plant”. The second reason people make the switch to solar, besides saving thousands of dollars, is to become independent from PG&E. Homeowners do not want to experience the extreme price increases year after year. With solar, they feel they are in control of their electrical cost.
As you already know, PG&E has been increasing year, after year, after year, after year…. Again and again! There seems to be no stop to this madness and is why you need to make the switch to solar ASAP.
In 2024, PG&E has raised the rates once again by 12.8%. What…? But with some rate plans it ends up being far more. PG&E keeps forecasting that in future years rates will go down. Really…? From 2013-2023, PG&E baseline rates went up by 152%. Some rate plans saw much higher increases for bundled rate plans and power used beyond the baseline.
Based on the fact that PG&E rates have almost tripled in the last ten years…. Coupled with trying to recover from bankruptcy, trying to obtain a loan for $15 billion to rebuild the infrastructure of their very old grid, wildfires and still paying out fire victims $13.5 billion total owed… Do you think rates will go down, stay the same, or continue to go up?
If you could lock in your rates today, at or below what you are currently paying, would you switch to solar?
To figure out how much money you will save switching to solar, you must first figure out how much you are currently paying for your electrical power and determine how much it will cost to produce your own power. Schedule a free consultation and we will help you figure out how much you’ll save going solar.

Have you ever looked at your PG&E bill… down to the fine print?
One of the reasons PG&E keeps going up is all the hidden fees. Typically found on the last page of the bill of course, you’ll see the list of hidden fees. When you go solar you will eliminate both the delivery and generation costs of electricity…. plus, you will not pay any of the hidden fees.
How does that sound?
Making the switch to solar is just reallocating money you are already spending on PG&E and reinvesting it to yourself for something you own. We call this anyways money. Wouldn’t you rather take money you are already spending and put it towards an investment that earns you thousands of dollars...?
Do you agree, so long as the numbers make sense you’ll pay for a solar system regardless if you get panels or not?
Why did you buy a home instead of continuing to rent?
Switching to solar is similar to making the switch from renting to home ownership. You take money you are already spending on rent and put it towards your mortgage for something you’ll own. And, at one point there is an end in sight where you will own your home outright and no longer make payments. You also receive tax incentives to help you purchase your home. Plus, you receive the equity value of the home’s increase in value.
Solar is no different…. You take the money you are already paying PG&E and use that toward owning your solar system. At one point you will own your solar system outright and not have a monthly payment for your electric power. You will also receive a tax credit to help you pay for your solar system and it is proven that a solar system will raise the value of your home.

Most popular option is to transfer solar bill to new homeowner. Simply make a phone call to switch the new homeowner's name, just like with the utility company. You pass the savings onto them, making it easier to sell your home.
Another option is to add the remainder of the loan into the home price. Pay off the remainder of the loan by building it into the price of the home, the new homeowner moves in with no solar bill and no electric bill.
One of the major benefits of investing into solar is that it significantly increases the value of your home and it is proven to help homes sell more quickly. New homeowners are excited about having solar!
